All I will say is - you have set up a great looking room. I am sure it sounds as good or maybe better. Very impressive.

Wow...what a great room. Congratulation on the Rethms. They sounded great when I heard them a couple of years ago at a audio show. Your system should sound amazing.

Carboncopy,
Congratulations on the new acquisition. How did the Audio Note improve your listening experience?

milpai

You are welcome.
That is quite some distance between the speakers.
Mine are 4 foot from back wall and about 7 foot apart.

Good luck in your cabling project :-)

milpai

If possible, try to use bi-wires with the Quads.
It makes a big difference on these speakers.

Carboncopy,
Very nice system. I totally agree with your take on the Quad 21L. They are phenomenal speakers. I have been using mine for 9 years and don't have the itch to upgrade them. How big is your room and how far have you placed them from the rear and back wall?
Also your decision to go with the same cables throughout the system will reap huge benefits.
Welcome to audiogon and enjoy your music.
