Very cool system, glad to find someone that has HT with Magnepans mixed with another speaker and has found one that matches well - will pass this on to my brother who has been vexed by this problem...

Thanks, good to know, I've been wondering about the efficacy of different designs for diffusers and agree the Vito's are darn cool and visual aesthetics are important!

Excellent room, must be a very enjoyable place to listen to some great tunes!  Great job optimizing the listening without impinging on the livability factor.  Cool use of lamps for acoustic and lig...

Great luck on those panels, I was wondering about the cost, guess I don't need to think about them any longer.  If you ever come across some more PlyBoo scraps.......btw I moved...

McIntosh with Thiels, is that right, or are there other speakers in play?

Love the room and gear, sure it sounds great!  Very curious about the panels, did you cut them down from Plyboo's standard size of 48"x 96"?  How/where did you purchase them?

Wow, love the room!  Beautiful listening environment, can you please list the room treatments?  They look like Pi foam and I am trying to make a decision about getting these for front wall treatmen...

I picked the BAT bc it seemed to be one of the few lower cost tube amps on the secondary market that had the current to handle Thiels, and I love the sound.  Not sure that counts as synergy?  I do ...

Nice!  I have always been intrigues by the LS50s but have read amp selection for these is key - how did you pick the Peachtree?

Very nice!  I love the outriggers, quite jealous of your amp, glad to see you are spinning some Natalie Merchant, and wow it looks like you have lots of room for more equipment!  Curious about the ...

Beautiful!  Thanks for sharing, never seen Thiels in high gloss black - they are gorgeous, also cool you're sharing the xover mods.  Happy listening indeed!

Beautiful job integrating a high end system into a real living room with minimum fuss, mess, or distraction.  Well done!  How do you like the BBQ cables?

+1 on the front wall treatments!  Love to hear where they came from?  How do you like the DeepHemp sub?

Beautiful set-up, bet it sounds awesome.  Curious if you have tried a preamp in this chain?  I am using the PSA DSD as a pre-amp in terms of volume control, curious if you've done comparisons w and...

Beautiful dog!  Very nice system too, love the many diffusers on the front wall.  Did you try other amps before settling on the Rogue?

Wow love it!  I would love to try that exact system with some other speakers (Thiels, Magnepans for example), so how did you pick the Martin Logan’s?  How does the preamp influence the sound throug...

FR - actually, that's what I tried first and it didn't work as well, neither for sound nor for comfort.  If I had another 1-2 feet I think it would work beautifully.  So room treatments are a must,...

FR - I guess I am following in your footsteps, my plan was to do what's needed to make the Thiel's sound really good, then go from there in terms of other speakers, additional sources, etc.  Intere...

Beautiful!  Bet it sounds great too!  How does the Naim equipment pair with the Thiels, esp the amplification?  Have you ever tried the setup firing down the length of the room rather than the width?

Sorry to see the Thiels go but will be putting the Revels on my list of speakers to listen to if/when I consider a possible post-Thiel future.  How do the highs compare?
