They hate me at HD, I have to sort through lots of thier oak to find all pieces that are exactly 3'4' in thickness. Then like the other day, I had $ 160 of 1 x 6 oak at $ 3.05 per foot, the the heplful moron at checkout can't use a tape measure, will not use mine, or take my word that all boards are 8 foot in length. He proceeds to check each one against the 14' high color coded, calibarated cheat stick, and proceeds to nick the edges on 3 of them on a floor standing air compressor.

The set-up I've got right now in my not-so-good, acoustically challenged room, is an even less than idealy elevated pair of M50s. They sit 20" from the floor next to a 65" mits. in 24" wide(yuck)enclosures. The tweets are about 7" above ear level(if sittin' up)and about 12" below the tweet in the inverted M3 above the TV. I have lightweight statuary flanking the M3 on top so asthetically, things balance out fairly well. The enclosures the main speakers are in also contain the reciever and DVD player in enclosures that extend above the TV almost as high as the top of the M3 on top.

While the system dosen't sound good, it sounds better than it sounds. (Huh?)
