    My goodness. This was a truly enjoyable experience. Going through this thread was like reading a great great book. Was kind of sad to see it finished! Great workmanship Ricardo! Damn, now I am jealous. hahahaha..

    two small questions if you do not mind.
    - What kind of bookshelf speakers are those?
    - How do you like the Tyler towers that you have? and how is the sound compared to like maybe b&w 803d's? or something along that range? I do not think I could find Tyler in the Dallas area. So I was wondering..

    thanks in advance..

    I knew I should have been a writer.

    The bookshelves are Dynaudio Contour 1.3 Mk II.
    The Tylers are great speakers; they do everything good. I've not heard the 803d's or any other b&w speaker for more than a few minutes, so I wouldn't know. I don't own them anymore, but enjoyed them while they were here.

    My room will measure 8 wide X 11 deep and 9 feet tall. Is this too small?

    Actually it is great that you were not a writer, but if you are then excuse me! I notice that writers talk a lot.. aka, audio review magazines! However you work and the pictures did all the talking.. I like that, talk the talk and walk the walk.. as is... !!!!!!

    I have a cockapoo (sp); nice little dog, no shedding and has the poodle's intelligence.

    I had a pure-bread cocker-spaniel. Very stupid dog that shed like crazy. A hybrid model would have been MUCH BETTER!

    Looks great. I see you have 7.1 in a 12x13; have you tried connecting just a 5.1 using the back wall speakers? Worth trying IMO...
