I found it, just a few moments ago, the reason I come here, the reason I have a small apartment but large speakers, the reason for collecting speakers and stereo equipment, at the risk of being tossed to the curb by my wife... Sorry honey, but I just got a pair of HPM-100's, and the Cewin Vega's are getting refoamed soon as well...

That elusive combination, when it falls into place, of source and sound, placement and mood, that can take something as ancient as music, and take you to an ethereal place, using just your ears as transportation....

I found the sweet spot a few moments ago, I've been trying out some different speaker combos, and I stacked a pair of infinity Qa's on top of a pair of Mach two's as a lark, and put it disc three from the Led Zep box set, and was pleasantly suprised by what came out of the boxes...

So I figured I'd try something more challenging, and I put my favorite cd in, Aja from Steely Dan, And I'm completely blown away!!! I've heard this disc a thousand times, but never this good, it's spooky almost. I can almost smell Donald fagan's breath (eewww) and see the crumbs in Walter Becker's beard...

I found it.... when it's right, it can't be wrong. I'm back to my asian pear martini and the sweet spot... Rock On! :banana:

Aja is my favorite LP for testing as well...I unfortunately am stuck with placing my speakers in the corners, but it still sounds damn fine. My dungeon is just a few feet to small :scratch2: .

Mr Slabi, I just finished Aja, and I'm 20 seconds into "Alive In America", and on my last sip of martini, I wish I had all night, Gotta crash soon, work at 6 am.

How'd you fare with the rains and floodwaters?

I did fine, I'm on the second floor. Lady across the street from me had a wet basement tho... how about you?

Put the Zep back on.

like I always say...

"Once you go stacked...you never go back!"......

Aja on "live in America"..is a great tune!.....the dynamics are fantastic!
