    My OCD is telling me that picture on the right is crooked? Other than that, it looks fabulous.

    Wood slabs then spikes or just the wood?

    I've been needing to spike my speakers as they are on carpet.

    Small rubber feet under the wood. The Speaks have the rubber feet as well. Floor is solid cement. Tweeters weren't high enough with our couches.

    So this system represents what you can do just shy of $10k. That's everything to include cabling and the Hard Drive; and MINUS the DirecTV receiver/HDTV Plasma, and the Cabinet.

    Assuming you buy everything new.

    Where are the geckos, I thought that was mandatory wall decoration in that part of the country. Tell me you have some elsewhere?

    The setup looks great Steve! Are you still considering the Kinki Studios integrated to replace the Benchmark DAC 2L?

    Looks nice.

    I've got a John Nieto serigraph you need.

    Political Correctness'.........defined

    "A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a t-u-r-d by the clean end."

    Sometimes I do miss that stellar treble/midrange blend, but the T2's are so close it's not an issue. I much prefer the dynamics and punch of the T2's. The T2's are every bit as good at disappearing in the room.

    That wasn't me. I am somewhat interested in the new Parasound P6, but doubt I'll make a change.
