    Man What happened to the Yamaha? Was it not what it lived up to? Also great to see another turned on to the LSi's. Its funny to see a guy with almost the same set up.

    Room treatments, you need some better decorating (get some color on those walls), and I see no tubes.

    Yes, don't underestimate the effectiveness of acoustic panels in improving sound qualities. It will give any room that theatre-feeling as far as the sound quality is concerned. :)

    he used to like the pressure pulses from the conquest at low volume...strangely, he will only go near the danley when he sees an opportunity to get on top of it and stays away from it most of the time...

    What sub is this? What happened to the Danley, Slow? I was following the Epik vs Danley with great interest and entertainment, now both are gone?

    Your constant changing has given me a huge itch to buy something ... I just got my LSiC and Rotel 1085 2-3 weeks ago but watching your swapping makes me feel like I need something soon or Ill burst! :-)

    I'm not sure if you are a believer, but a good set of heavy duty speaker stands will improve the sound of your system as well. And judging by the size of those fronts, they would have to be pretty hefty.
