    Lol! Viking

    Drew it’s mainly used at a pre, the Linns drive the mains for 90% of my listening. Only during movies does it drive the center and surrounds.
    So it’s warm, but never hot.
    The Linns are amazing, I can drive at ear bleeding levels and they just get warm.

    Not sure which one I like more. Perhaps I can audition each one for a couple of days.
    What say you?

    I like them all that is why I keep them all. Panel, point source, and cone speakers all have strengths and weaknesses. I like panel speakers for clarity, cone speakers sound pressure, and point source speakers are like some things in the middle of panel and cone speakers. This is how I use them. At night I listen to panel speakers. During the day if I can sit down to listen to music, I will turn on the point source speakers. If I have to do work around the house, I will turn on the cone speakers. There was time I just want to have only one good system and sell the rest but I know that I can't have all the sound I want just in one system.

    Some recent changes to my 2 Channel Setup: Salamander Stand and Sony XBR65-Z9F

    I know I'm probably nitpicking but, the fact that your speaker cable is not symmetrical on the left speaker is driving me krazy.

    But don't worry about me, I should be ok in a week or so.

    :D I was expecting a comment about this as soon as I posted the picture. Didn't feel like fixing it and taking another picture. Rest assured it will be remedied.

    Tv would last like a week

    the stand would just be a place for pictures, records, etc.

    yep gravity has a way of rearing its ugly head. Especially at 16Hz.

    Thanks Joe.

    I try that tony, but she'll probably move them back. BTW tell that to my wife it's her stuff not mine, lol. There would be a few things moved in that area if she wasn't around. You can guess which ones.

    Then pull them out when playing and put them back when done. Or watch a movie together and let her HEAR the difference in sound when back that far vs pulled up even with the entertainment center.

    At least to the edge of the stand and in line with the center channel is normal speaker setup 101. Go back a generation or two and nice speakers tended to be much wider and deeper wooden boxes. We are spoiled in this age with nice looking moderately sized speakers.
