Good move! I'm certain you'll be ecstatic.

So, to keep me from staring out the front window I went to RS and got the meter. Got out the two wheeler and brought it in the house to move the monsters around. Ordered the Avia DVD. Bought a new stand so I could properly display the components. But I just keep going back to the window.
Ah, tomorrow 4:30 pm eta.

I know you'll be tempted to trash that Bose stuff, or let it go cheap, but it might be wise to put it to use elsewhere in the house. I wish I'd kept my little Bose system for the baby's room.

Bose will go to son's room. Not that he'll be listening to anything in his room anymore!

I am impressed. Last night (this morning 12-1) I listened to a "Simply Red" concert on Voom sat. 5.1 Dolby and I feel like I heard every nuance. I even did some calibrating mid-set to see the effect of changes. The 60's, 150, 8's and 500 gave me a great concert. Right now I have the crossover at 100. Adjusted the 500 to 1/4 volume. Video of the footwork of the organist showed were the bass note were coming from. Still more tinkering to come. Love this system so far.

I'm no expert...by no means. Only comment I had was in regards to the sub volume level. After playing with my set up, I ended up using the RS meter to set the volume where my sub was 1 DB higher than the speakers. I then tweaked the crossover until I was happy with it. Right now it's about 80. I have no idea if that's the preferred method or not, but it sure made it a lot simpler to dial it in.
Oh, and my preference is Bookers. Although I do like Makers Mark in my Whiskey Sours. Also a wine enthusiast. Cabs and Zins mostly. Just had a 94’ Silverado Cab the other night…..nice… very nice. Glad I bought that case a few years back.

best regards......mike

As I said in another thread. "Watched and listened to DVD "Ray" last night with friends. My buddy Joe who has seen the movie multiple times could not believe how great it sounds on my new system. I've only had my 60s, 150, 8s and EP500 3 days and could not be happier."
Changed the crossover to 80. Have slightly increased the 500 volume.
Makers and seven for years, but more martini's now. Love a good Merlot. Favorite wineries are Chateau St. Michelle, Chateau Julien and Christom Vinyards.

How funny.......we’d probably get along. I enjoy making a good martini as well. Been infusing it for a couple years now. Pineapple and Blackberry are my favorite fruits to infuse so far. Try this...2 prts B/B infused Finlandia, 1 prt cointreau, 1 prt chambord, 1 prt sweet/sour mix. The s/s mix I make with fresh lemons, limes, cherries, mandarin oranges and simple syrup. The martini sounds much sweeter than it actually is. A really good cocktail book is Diffordsguide to cocktails www.diffordsguide.com (it's my favorite, and I have many).

For Merlots, you might try Steltzner and Provenance - Napa vineries, and Kim Crawford – New Zealand. They are my favorite Merlots that I’m never disappointed with, no matter what year (so far).
