System edited: It's true! The thrill is gone. The VR-11's are moving out and it's time to move on. The only positive is that I can see the front and side walls now that the speakers are apart. We'l...

System edited: Simplicity went to a low level. I had my system apart for nearly a year. I sold the EMM gear, one Dartzeel and the Jena cables. I took the platform and 700 lbs of sand out, and have ...

Well, I'm beginning to look at updating my system again. Hard to believe, but it's true. I am purchasing another home in France and I'm thinking of sending the VR-11's there and considering a revis...

Sad to hear about the second home and racing Mike. I'm not sure you're limited to the 11's. I didn't buy a new house and build an addition for my system.The exact distance from hole to hole...
