System edited: It was obvious too much equipment was between my speakers and their performance was being compromised. So, I purchased a Solidsteel 6.4 and moved all the analog gear outside my right...

Thanks for the compliments. The main reason I've been using the room lenses is because I only have a partial wall on the left side of the room. The large window into our kitchen makes for an unbala...

The only thing I'd suggest is to site your Scout on an additional isolation base if you've got the room in your cabinet. I've found the Scout to respond very favorably to being placed on something ...

Nice system and a really good looking job on your DIY speakers. They look very professionally crafted. What wood did you use for the beveled panels?
