Re: The Grande Utopia Project

Re: Reserve Bookshelf speakers.
These recent posts are 'convincing' me to buy a pair of R100 for the "den" (i.e., for the modest hifi connected to our TV, and also used to play, relentlessly, "holiday music"... the time for which is right around the corner (Mariah Carey notwithstanding).

Re: Post a picture.....any picture...part deux...
This led to me (as a small child) writing the code to program the game of Pong. Many here probably don't even know what that is. That was on a high falutin' (at the time) 'puter by the name of Timex.
Now, I have really lost the younger crowd here...

Re: Reserve Bookshelf speakers.
I found the R200 to be too large to be practical as desktop speakers. Their cabinets are deep. The R100s are better for that purpose. But, both models have been on sale for a while now and the R200s are only $80 a pair more than the R100s. If space isn't a consideration I'd always get the R200s over the R100s.

Re: Polk SDA 2 A and Fosi amplifiers
I had a closer look at the label on the rear of the left speaker
I also got hold got hold of a B&K ST2020 power amp and this is like night and day compared to the Yamaha I was using to power the Polks. The Yamaha would be running out of steam at higher volumes and the B&K is barely at a 1/3 volume.

Re: Polk R700 with R200 surrounds
Neither...the back & surrounds idealy should be well above ear level. Approximately 6' up the wall is ideal. If that's not feasible then I think either height stand (more so the 28") would do the trick. Good luck with your setup! Those speakers are amazing & will sound phenomenal. If possible don't forget to use a matching R series center. Having the front soundstage (LCR) match will give you the best results.

Unfortunately there are many in that situation.
