    That's the bedroom. It's actually pretty big. I can't wait to get downstairs set up.

    I have a Salamander 4 high by 2 wide on the left side out of the picture stuffed with gear. But you are right, I need something more substantial for sure. Every thing changes on a weekly basis I just can't decide what to do.

    Joe,
    Where's your 948? The system looks good, but I agree that some new racks are desirable.

    Hi Colin,

    It's on the left out of sight with the Dartzeel gear and other sources, temporarily. I set this up last night because my Studio2's are coming tomorrow and I can easily move the Evos out of range for the initial run in of the Revels.

    Thanks Steve. I think I'm getting overloaded with gear. It might be time to thin the heard.

    Thank you.

    If we can work something out on the Evos, they can be yours.

    They are basic "My Theatre" panels. I ordered them from Audio Advisor years ago. I had a terrible slap echo and put them on the front and back walls.

    Improving Room Acoustics is As Easy As Hanging a Picture

    Save on Whole Room Treatment Package

    Our listening room at Audio Advisor had terrible acoustics. We tried installing Sonex panels, but they only offered a mild improvement. Then we tried these Acoustic Panels, and the room sounds great -- so good, in fact, that even the non-audiophiles on our staff hear a huge difference. And the panels get a high spousal approval rating for their pleasing appearance, too.
    Decorative Sound Absorptive Panels

    Audiophile Acoustic Panels make it easy to tame room reflections. Just install the decorative sound absorptive panels on your walls to reduce unwanted reflections for a tight, coherent movie soundtrack and realistic multi-channel music. The panels hang on the wall like pictures. You can also add a dot of Blu-Tack reusable bonding compound on the corners to keep the panels from moving or vibrating.
    Money-saving Panel Package

    To make it easy figuring out how many panels you need -- and to save you money, too -- we've created Audiophile Acoustic Panels packages for different treatments levels in a typical room. For optimum sound quality, this package allows you to layer the panels.
    Our "Audiophile's Package" for uncompromising music and movie soundtrack reproduction has twelve 24" by 40" Audiophile Acoustic Panels plus eight 24" by 24" panels to lay over them.

    joe nice view. isolation might be a real bonus next. my new rack is very well isolated to the point it made an instant improvement in my room. It was like upgrading everything & getting more of the detail space/blackness etc. Stillpoints eloops are an absolute bargain & they work. Wouldn't have a pre/amp source with-out them.Was surprised you went with the SF's

    The EAR gear will be en route within a month, but ALL the reviews have been stellar and I think it will be perfect on the TADs (with vinyl, especially)

    Time for some Gold Bond huh. I expect the Revels to be delivered and I will hopefully be able to move the boxes in place.

    That will be a big haul. 140 pounds shipped. I presume that is each speaker? I hope it's not too hot there tomorrow. You're going to need a cold beer (or 8) for after.

    Kev,

    I am glad you are happy. It's great when a system comes together.

    You guys might laugh but the Job 225 amp on my Evos is just outstanding. One of my favorite combinations now. The little amp that could.

    Ear makes some great gear. What do you think of it?
    I heard the EAR gear and it bettered the Accuphase, Levinson, etc. It is really good. The CD player and Preamp vs the Accuphase CD player and Preamp gave the win to the EAR gear. If you want sound that's as good - maybe better than the big boys - EAR is it! I just listen. Joe adds it to his stable.

    Put this in perspective. Joe has more Stereophile Class A gear than most dealers! Revel, TAD, D'Agostino, Sonus Faber, etc.

    Joe's the man!

    Joe, it will be interesting to hear what you think of having a floorstander in that space since you've used monitors for a while now.

    Thanks Doug

    I really think the studio2 will work great in my room. I can always move them downstairs when ready but my gut tells me it will be a smooth and ballsy speaker. My only concern will be very low or late night listening. The TADs are superstars in that respect, bar none. Ultimately I don't see myself getting rid of the TADs for that reason alone unless the Raidho D1s or possibly D2s can overtake the TADs in that department. Time will tell.

    He who dies with the most toys, wins. Maybe a few more great pieces and I'm done. I can mix and match to my hearts content.
