For the first time ever I'm setting up a dedicated listening room. Previously, speaker location/listening location was pretty much dictated by the room. Now I have a lot more freedom in placement but have a question about how to do so. RealTraps has a set of tones available on their web site in 10Hz steps from 10-300Hz. When playing them back the first time with the way I initially placed the speakers/listening position I found that in general, the tones between 50Hz and 110Hz were way down in volume compared to those above and below that range. Not equally down but down just the same.

Finding new music used to be easy: listen to the radio or find a talkative clerk at the local record store. Now that the Internet has changed everything, how do you find new music?

Oh, man. We're losing so many good ones. On Spanish repertoire, she had no equal, and her Mozart was always elegant and shapely. But the most surprising thing about her was that with her tiny, plump hands, she could knock out Rachmaninoff like there was a devil inside her...
The usual disclaimers - I don't have affiliation with, nor interest in and wouldn't know the folks who work there from Adam.
That said, Palmetto Records has just done the right thing - they're now posting lossless FLAC files for purchase, as well as high bit rate mp3s and cds for order.
This is particularly good news because Palmetto is reissuing some early stuff as download only. That means we can get it in high quality sound, and with luck it'll stay available.

Hey guys, I am hoping that you may be able to offer me some advice and possibly direction.
I am looking to upgrade my speakers in a system that serves double duty (2-channel/home theater)
I currently have a Rotel RSX-1057 driving 4 NHT SuperZeros, a SuperCenter with a NHT SW2Pi sub.
While it is a dual use system, I would prefer to focus on creating a system that I will love to listen to music on and be happy with for surround sound/HT.
Let me describe my current setup in detail and try to articulate what I do not like about it.
