    Hello friends, first time posting here. Just getting into vintage audio within the last year or so and really enjoying it. I’ve got a Rega RP1(not vintage), a pioneer sx-1500td and a couple of Bose 301 Series II speakers. I’m supposed to be picking up a couple of late 70’s JBL L19’s this weekend...

    NHT 1.1 C

    What is different about the NHT Super One and NHT Super 1.1C. I know the C is designed for center use, but I am considering using a pair of them for front left and right. Will they sound as good as the NHT Super One's??

I'm disabled and have to listen on the floor. i have a long long heavy rack and want to place the speakers of my future hi-fi setup there on isoAcoustics (height is exactly good for my ears while seated on the floor, around 50-55 cm).

    Can center be too low ? Your preference?

    I have this center low but tried to face it upwards with cardboard . It’s a lcr like set up . Can not bring a mono surround to back because coat tree . I could not find a better spot for center unless I put it we’re the front speakers are but that could be odd? And it wouldn’t be in center .

    DIY MONO CENTER CHANNEL — ADVICE?

    I'm strictly a two-channel stereo guy... though it could change. (It's ironic, I'm a film-maker but have no interest in home theater, so I don't have multi-channel amps.) I'd like to add a mono center channel for Music, but must do it using two-channel amps/ preamps. Stereo had a big problem...
