    If you look at the monolith's (great descriptor) they work exactly the same way, but with the mids in a line array (each with it's own range of signals), the smearing is limited. This allows for much greater presence and low end. Some feel that the CRS's are the best for pure soundstange due to the single mid, but there is no argument that the big boys give a bit more "oomph".

    If you are really interested in this, PM darque_knight and see if he has any compendiums or go to http://www.polksda.com/
    There is no genuine justice in any scheme of feeding and coddling the loafer whose only ponderable energies are devoted wholly to reproduction. Nine-tenths of the rights he bellows for are really privileges and he does nothing to deserve them. We not only acquired a vast population of morons, we have inculcated all morons, old or young, with the doctrine that the decent and industrious people of the country are bound to support them for all time.-Menkin

    Two or three inches from the back wall is too close, IMO. You will get boomy bass, so the use of your sub is probably the way to go.

    JD answered the multiple SDA's question perfectly.

    The black or blue wires are positive and go to the red dot. The white or green wires are negative. They smoked a lot of pot in those days and I think Henry was smoking some today.

    Swapped the tweeters this weekend and they sound great. As I said earlier, I didn't listen to the original ones very long (about two hours during initial listening) and just followed advice here to slip in the new tweeters. Also haven't relocated them to their new home in the bookshelves since that means major re-wiring but I'm sure they will still sound great there as well.

    I am still amazed at the sound of these small speakers. They should be considered the bargain of the decade and I don't know why they don't have more of a cult following. Hell a nice looking pair didn't meet the reserve or get above $200 on ebay this week. Probably a good thing for those that do know as prices stay cheap.

    Obviously I now have a set of SL 2000's available. Based on a post above is anyone interested in them for $40 incl. shipping?

    Nothing spectacular but again to show how much is out there.

    I bought:
    Sony STR v35 receiver- Very modest unit but my 13 year old wanted something for his room to replace crappy old mini do-all unit. Works fine. $10
    Optimus (radioshack, yeah I know) small speakers- $7 needed mini speakers to go with above. Actually sound Ok and in very nice cabinets.
    Pioneer multi CD changer (cartirdge style)- $15 My daughter's carousel unit was starting to act up and this style fits her room better (she can pile crap on top of it instead of having to lift a cover)

    Didn't buy:
    Advent 1's- $10, original foams but visually in great condition with original boxs. Same person I bought the sony receiver from.
    Yamaha natural sound receiver (don't know model, not a "big" one)- $20, Would have bought but had already bought receiver above.
    Kenwood Receiver (newer model) w/ Boston A70 speakers- $20 for pair. I should have bought this set, both items in exc. shape, but again I had already bought above and I had no place to put the speakers. Resale not that good so I passed. Actually I'm now sorry I didn't grab the Bostons.

    I reread and re-thought my earlier post of current yard sale buys. Two mistakes:
    Sansui tuner is the 999 model not 990. The 990 has a real cult following and brings big money. Noetheless my stereo technician tested my 999 and said it was one of the most sensitve he has ever tested.
    Also I payed $125 for the Magnepans, not $75. Not exactly a bad deal either.
