Today we were blessed with our second grandchild. My son Josh and his wife Jen gave birth to a beautiful girl named Zora. No stats yet except a healthy little girl. Laura and I are on cloud nine and are very happy to have a new member join our family. Gordon

Last night my wife and I saw Keiko Matsui at the Blues Alley in Washington, D.C. Last time we did not dine at the club ( had snacks last time) but went out after the show. Last night we dined at the club. We arrived about 6:30 for an 8 oclock show. The food was fair to mid-land but didn't want...

My wife and I took in a show last night at the Blues Alley in Washington D.C. It really is in an alley. We walked past it twice before I had to do the unmanly thing and ask for directions The guy I asked just laughed and pointed about 25 feet away and said "Not from around here are you?" The...

I had the pleasure of having Gordon visit my wife and I the other day. We chatted, ate dinner out and a consumed a few adult beverages while listening to music in our home. Gordon recommended some adjustments to both my Spires and JL subs which after being made, quite noticeable and enjoyable...

I have not been hanging around here much lately. Hate to say it but, I've been experimenting with a cone driver speaker :eek: I found my present system to be just what I was looking for. But reading at some other forums about DIY on speakers sparked a small flame. I wanted to learn what makes a...

While on line tonight, I looked at who's on line and there were three pages of guests reading and spending time here. LOG ON AND CONTIBUTE!! We're not going to bite and your inputs are valuable to the group! Off soap box :D Gordon

I've had my subs dialled in for the past several months and frankly, haven't done any moving or tweaking and I'm getting the itch :eek: The subs are placed behind and slightly outside the Spires, close to the corners of the room about 12-14 inches from each wall. For those who have...

I've had a 46" TV standing on top of my rack (between the speakers) for the longest time. Not the ideal situation but the only way it works in our living room. The TV had a gap between it and the wall of about ten inches while it was on the rack. I'd always wondered if that gap was contributing...

I installed a pair of corner Mondo traps in the back of my room and was able to get away with for about 20 seconds after my wife saw them today :o Actually she's OK with them. But I am pushing my luck right about now. Gosh I wish I had room up front for another pair. I now have eight traps in...

OK, I'll admit I don't have clue on how to do this. I want to subscribe to XM radio for the house. We have NO stations in this area and looking for background music only. Could one of you guys point to a primer or recommend gear to use with my system? Gordon

Hi Jeff and thanks for a great review! I've had the pleasure of hearing a pair of these at Ivan's house in Florida :bowdown: I do have a question for you. Since you brought the F110's in, did you find it beneficial to place them on the same plane as the CLX or any other speaker?The Gotham's are...

I thought it would be interesting to follow up the best upgrades of 2009 with what do you plan on for the coming year? Myself, I think I plan on trying some room correction hardware ala Lyngdorf or McIntosh. The Lyngdorf is very attractive price wise but since I'm a MacHead, it won't match the...

Hey guys, just a short note to inform all that I received an e-mail from our favorite speaker manufacturer. I recently joined the insider club and was informed my name was randomly selected to receive the new Bon Jovi CD The Circle. I can say I've never won anything, even at the carnival where...

I noticed something the other day while dusting under the speakers. I have hardwood floors and my wife dust under or around the gear. She says it is my job.:D Anyway, I had some music on with a nice bass line. My Spires are placed on BDR pits and I watched them slightly walking across the...

I want to thank all of guys for your comments on my rumble thread. I could read through the lines, and you were all kind enough to not come out and say I needed to buy a better table even though that is what you wanted to say! :D This fact was driven home today. I received a new, 200 gram Blue...

On a whim this weekend, I purchased my first TT in 30 years. It is a Pro Ject 1-Xpression III with an Ortofon 2m Red cart. I gave $400 for the kit. IF this small experiment pans out, a higher level table is in the cards. I did not want to invest more funds until I figured out some of the ins and...

I've been hemming and hawing over subs for the past couple months. I'm kinda gun shy. The REL I tried just would not blend completely with the Spire. Sounded OK but sounded pasted on or poorly photo shopped! So I ordered a pair of JL Audio F112's for a stereo pair. Hopefully with the additional...

Another member of the club (Andrew) came over to my house last weekend for the first time. As we listened to some music, he mentioned he thought the bass was a bit fat and bloated. After this past week and some serious listening, he was being kind! I had them set to about 2.25+ and thought it...

I did a search in an attempt to not start a new thread on these pieces to no avail. I've been on a tweak journey for the past couple months. First was a PC upgrade to all components. Second was vibration control, which I'm just about wrapping up. Next will be be a pair of subs, but with the...
