The track Why So Serious? off The Dark Knight soundtrack gets my windows rattling! Plenty of other suggestions in an older thread here.

@Mnyb here you go, although nail polish might be cheaper! ;)

Is this the video you had seen?

My love of music is what drew me into the equipment. Lack of education and reading nonsense in audio magazines kept me in. Reading forums and the disagreements between audiophiles sowed the seeds of doubt. When I had the time and opportunity to really compare some of the controversial issues...

I’m UK based, albeit the sunny rainy south coast. The site has been absolutely fine for me today.

Merzuul - Gallipoli, haven’t played this for a while but it’s up next on tonight’s playlist;

For me it was also UMIK and REW, @Purité Audio can also take some of the credit/blame! While ASR wasn’t the only data point I considered, I did end up buying an Anthem AVM 70 to replace my old and temperamental AV processor.

As you will be well aware, the recent thread on PFM was pure gaslighting. From the available images, it looks like the other ports have been covered over, rather than being just a two port switch.

I am not making this up but one of my friends is named Richard John Seaman. Or as we occasionally call him Dick Johnny Spunk! I‘m not sure if his parents were ignorant or just hated him!

When I was in my teens my main social group of friends where from my school, they all called me by my nickname. There were even times when my teachers accidentally called me by my nickname. I went to college after school along with the bulk of my closest school friends who always introduced me...

Before the usual ASR naysayers dig their claws in, I will say that I’m prepared to pay the excess for locally (UK) built, battleship, bling. You will not hear me waxing lyrically about it compared to other equipment.

Has ASR tested my speaker? I‘m very happy sound wise with my current set up. Can it be improved on? I’m sure it could but there does come a time when chasing numbers become irrelevant, especially when they are system and/or user dependant. Luckily, I have discovered this in my early 40’s.

No. Most dedicated centre speakers are designed to sit horizontally. To suit my personal set up at home this is what I require.

I could, but it would result in moving the rack that holds my sources. Doing this means moving at least one or both my main speakers to a detrimental location.

I am assuming this was aimed me, this was my main system, my AV Processor has since been replaced with an Anthem AVM70 This was a temp set up of my what is my bedroom system , this was taken when I first got my KEF LS 50’s.
