Rich, great review of your room.  Very cool!

Aren't those diffusers from Greg?

Dave,
Those are the diffusors you sent me probably in 2009-2010 time frame.

The Monoliths system is setup in the new listening space. 

Did measurements and updates based on them and the system sounds really good.   It is ready for demos. 

PM me if interested.

Well at least the reviewer got it correct in his write-up for that room.

Rich,

Your Monoliths were very good sounding at CAF, in spite of the crappy hotel environment you had to deal with.

I can imagine that hearing them set up in a proper acoustic space must be a real treat.  :thumb:

Hey Guys,  what is the purpose of the cross in the speaker baffle speaker cutouts on this mid 60s Harmony amp?  Does it act like a beam blocker or is it there for support? Just wondering.
