Where have you been? Don't seem to be active in the forums for quite some time.

Time for some new pics of the setup there lapierre. How is the new room coming? Did you get a new rack? I assume you still have the Ascendos.

milpai

I thought you loved the Ascendo F. Curious as to why you decided to look at other speakers. What speakers are you looking to audition? Hope you find the right one.

milpai

LaPierre, have you already made the changes or waiting on them?

milpai

That is a awesome pic of the loudspeaker. Congratulations on the upgrade. Would love to see a pic of our new room.
Did the SR-Z1 make a big difference?

milpai

Nice work Lapierre.
Looks like this the best set up you have had in this hobby. Patience paid off well!! Are the room treatments in place?

milpai

Lapierre,
So sorry to read about your misfortunes. But good to know you and family are fine. I wish you well and good luck in your search for a new home. Music will eventually follow. Take care.

milpai

Pierre,
Time for new pics :-)
Is the new layout complete yet?

milpai

Pierre,
How is the room coming? I have ordered my panels from GIK. Kevinzoe did mention the same tri-trap position for my room which is 12.5 X 13.5 X 9. I will experiment and then decide. GIK did not suggest diffusers as of now. They said that my carpet acts like atrap for high and mid frequencies. So I have 2 tri-traps and 2 monster panels on order that are due next week.
1 very important thing I learnt while setting up my room - speaker positioning. Very critical. Everything else is secondary. BTW, you have some great gear.
