Newbe - thought of posting this in Entry Level but this forum may be more appropriate.

I am building a new room (office and hopefully listening room) and am concerned that it may be too small for quality listening.

Dimensions are about 15" square (not exactly square, one wall may be a foot longer), with two walls vaulted to a 9 or 9 1/2 foot ceiling. The two vaulted walls are connected forming a corner. So back wall is normal (where the speakers would be), right wall is normal, front wall (listening position) vaulted, left wall vaulted.

Big thanks to Joe Darcy for his heads-up on this great band. Probably easiest to describe as "thoughtful, eclectic, jangly guitar rock" in the mold of Brian Wilson, Roger McGuinn or Paddy McAloon. Here is the summary from allmusic:

Hello Guys,

I'm trying to marry the Rega Apollo and Mira3 with some well-behaving speakers.

I have some problems in finding the new M22i.

In my quest for a good speakers I came across the KEF XQ-40.

May I please ask your advice: did anybody test them?

The dealer of B&W told me: "they are made in China", with a special glitter in his eyes when he was showing the "made in England" label for B&W 704...

Thank you!

A while ago I had posted about bi-amping with the Epos M5 - I still haven't gone bi-amp, but now I have another dilemma, and hopefully you guys can help out =)

Right now I'm running the M5 with the Exposure 2010s integrated amplifier - I love the sound that this setup produces - great high/mid and controlled bass with natural crossovers. However, I'm sort of a bass-head and would like to hear more of it - my M5 delivers quality bass, but sometimes I wish it simply had more in quantity.

I'm finally upgrading my Pre-amp and Amp tomorrow. I'm ordering an Arcam AVP-700 and P1000. I'm going to be connecting the two with Nordost Red Dawn. I can't wait!

I am a noobie to high end audio systems and a friend of mine has given me a very hi end stereo system,and I have a few questions about it. All of the equipment is from the 1990's. The system consists of 2 Audio Research Classic 120's, AR DAC 1, AR LS2,Wadia CD,Etude tuner,Velodyne 18" subwoofer,Billy Bags audio stand and Hales Audio Two Signature speakers w/external crossovers. This is the most awesome system I have ever heard. My friend tells me it was about a $20,000 system in the 90's.The system was handed down to him,and he had no interest in it.
