Is it real or just my imagination?

I have not been much of a TV watcher in the past, but recently bought a large flat screen TV and got HD satellite service. After spending a bit of time watching and not listening, I started listening to the stereo again. It didn't sound right to me so I got out the pink noise generator and the spec A and checked the response. A bit off, so I corrected. Still doesn't sound right.
Is it my imagination or does the large flat screen create a new front surface reflection that combines with the rear wall?

Not quite low wattage amplifiers

I'm looking to power a couple Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 speakers. It doesn't sound like Sonic Impact's T-Amp would have enough power, but I can't seem to find anything with just a little more power. Is there anything comparable to the T-Amp, but with a bit more power? I only have 100 bucks to spend, but if there's something more expensive but popular I figure I might have some luck on eBay.

Headphones

I've noticed that a lot of the entry-level speakers don't go down to 20Hz, but most headphones do. Does this mean that a decent pair of entry-level headphones is going to provide better audio than an entry level stereo system?

Other Cairn owners: filter settings on the Fog v3??

Does anybody else out there have a Cairn Fog v3? Or even a v2 if it has the same thing. Looking for impressions on the different digital filter settings. I've just had mine a couple months and haven't done any systematic listening with the different settings.
Btw, does Cairn not qualify for a Stereophile review?

thanks.

I have tried long and hard to find the Analog Productions 45rpm release of this record (AJAZ 0709) to no avail. In the time I have been looking I have not even seen it on ebay. If anyone knows of anybody sitting on a copy (or has a copy they are willing to sell) please PM me. I am willing to pay

Chicago LP shops

Hi

Im reading with envy about all the NY people and the stores they are finding.

How about the same info for Chicago ?

To date I know about Music Direct, very limited and very expensive, Holm audio and probably the best selection ive found which is at Beverly Records on the South side.
