    Those are the 3 leg versions right? Have you ever had any issues with the center leg in the back? I've wondered if that would ever get in the way when connecting cables to larger components.

    What kind of speakers are those?

    Dude, you're considering everything. PLaSMa CeNTeR! :p

    Now that this long...long...loooong winter is basically over though, the consideration is nearly over. I'm pretty much back working full time now and finally getting some decent pay rolling in once again.

    There are many mods in store for me in the near future.;) Watch for numerous "check out what I just got" threads from me through the spring/summer. I won't even have to fund it with money from the pLaSmA CEnTEr...lol

    I've had no issues with the back third leg. My cables have always had plenty of clearance.

    Its is pretty good and you are getting your hi-fi on, you could improve it by removing that big box from the middle of things though, its destracting from the TT and the BAT gear. A few more tubes would be nice as well.

    Enjoy.
