I wouldn't do it because if someone tried to turn up the volume loud enough for rock music while dancing, not just for casual listening while eating, then amp distortion and speaker damage might...

I doubt the cats would try to jump atop the narrow monitor 60s, mostly cats will jump onto wider objects.

Any speaker stands that are tall enough for your purposes would have to have a wider base...

Many speaker stands are unstable around children or are too low to the ground to raise the speakers above chair cushion height. As a result, I use various pieces of furniture -- small endtables or...

This thread can be broken down to better separate the issues with how/where/from whom we purchase audio equipment:
(1) Use of internet versus use of brick and mortar stores -- at this point, it's...

Even a quality amp might not save your speakers if you play a recording in which the source material represents highly distorted electric guitar -- essentially the same amplitude signal shape (square...

I use an Outlaw RR2150 with 4 x monitor 70s and there is ample power for quality at higher volumes in a large room.
I use a HK3490 with 2 x monitor 60s and the power is adequate for a smaller room...

I have a living room 25' x 15.5', low ceilings and use 4 x monitor 70s plus a 15" Epic Valor sub for both music and HT. Would recommend you consider the bargain prices on monitor 70s and also think...

I already have 2 pair of 70s in my living room and a pair of 60s in my bedroom. If they put the 70s in cherry on sale at that price, I might have to bust down the walls and expand my living room...

Sorry to sound so cynical, but this thread has aged so long it has become almost a practical joke. 5 months ago these speakers started their shipping tour for listening tests by members, but so far...

I have one of them and it lives up to its reputation. I am running 4 Monitor 70s plus subout to an Epik Valor. It has a very nice sound. A couple steps up from my HK3490, which I have in another...

I have both -- To compare the two, the 60s are a bit shallow in the midrange, especially for 2 channel listening. Also, when you start to get into a bit more volume, the 70s win hands down.

Funny you said that about the RR2150. I have mine running 4 Polk monitor 70s in a 3300 cu.ft. living room, plus subout to an Epik Valor. I can't even turn it up past about 8:30 for more than a...

I am spoiled by the USB inputs on my living room receiver (RR2150) that allow me to directly connect the USB of my computer for audio. That way I can watch music on YouTube or sample the CD...

I bought my son an earlier version of this Sherwood 100 wpc receiver about 5 years ago along with some teenager speakers - the old Technics 15"/2.5"/1" 3-ways. He has generated very loud volume for...

The voice of my experience - I also have Polk Monitor 70s and my living room is about 25 x 15 and partially open to a dining room. 2 years ago I made the mistake of thinking a $200 range sub would...

In honor of Charles Kao, I had Verizon FIOS hookup my TV/internet last Friday. Win-win compared to the old coaxial provider service.

My system for both 2.1 and HT

Congrats, about 6 months ago I added a second pair of 70s, so now I also have 4 Monitor 70s, along with an Epik valor sub and a 2.1 receiver (but with A & B capability) using an Outlaw RR2150. One...

Thanks for that summary graph, very interesting.

I think harmonics above the human range of hearing are not going to make or break musical appreciation. However, that being said, I would imagine...

I opened this thread expecting another addition to the "SDA Playlist" thread --- "close to the edge!" as a classic rock tune. Sorry.

As far as kick-azz subs are concerned, I'm very happy with my...

I purchased a cherry finish 61 inch entertainment center with 6 usable gear compartments plus CD/DVD drawers for my living room. It weighs 200 pounds and holds 200 pounds of gear. Matches my cherry...

I'm interested in the response, too, although not sophisticated enough to do a good job evaluating how to build my own speakers and crossovers. I googled cascade crossover speakers and read a bunch...

Speaker cable shootout? Gentlemen, get out your audiophile's thesaurus and start your eardrums. Please empty your pockets and leave your test instruments at the door. Objectivity will not be...

I have four Monitor 70s in each corner of my living room, two Monitor 60s in my bedroom, and two vintage Model 10s in my basement. All are hooked up and in use except for one of the Model 10s that...

I am really digging the sound of my 4 monitor 70s plus a sub in the corners of my 24 x 15.5 foot living room.

There is an immediate, next-to-the-stage ambience/presence no matter where you are...
