    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

    gj4kwp50qik1.jpg

    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.

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

    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.
