    Thanks Brgman
    I just realized something the McCormack will not fit into my audio stand its wider than the Emo by an inch or so and the Emo barely fit in there..:redface::redface:
    Time to be creative..

    I don't know, I haven't given it much thought yet..
    Right know I'm just soaking up as much Emo music as I can before bedtime and then say Goodbye to a friend in the morning..
    I might get emotional :sad:

    Paradigm Studio CC690 Piano Gloss
    PSB dipole S5 surrounds

    Some of Pepster's cables as well, Power cord and some IC's
    The next upgrades would be an outboard DAC and a proper Pre
    and now I'm looking for some proper jumpers for my speakers instead of the usual gold plated brass things anyone know of any I could buy like the one's Polk used on the LSiM series..?

    How are the Alpha Core Goertz MI-2 cables working for you?

    Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    I used to feel the same way! Let's see, that was about... oh, $8,000 ago ; (

    Good luck with the new piece, too. :cool:
    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?
