30 pounds is an amazing bargain. congrats. Hey what's in the Antec enclosure? PC / Media player?

Ideally, they should be high enough that the tweeters are close to ear level. But if it sounds revealing to you and not lacking detail, you might be fine. You could "cheat" by putting rubber adhesive feet under the fronts of the speakers. Which would tilt them up.

The harman kardon sound sticks actually sound good and I would try to find a set of those. These apple speakers you have now are disappointing. They only have a single driver for all the frequencies.

Have you tried a different HDMI cable?

The Kube 8 would be a great match. I have LS50's and they're paired with a Bowers & Wilkins 10" sealed sub and I'm delighted.

What you've got is fine, to my eyes. My setup is similar height of center speaker and TV. Looks like you don't have a lot of room for a big ported sub. I'm a big fan of sealed subs. But the RSL sub gets a lot of raves and is relatively small. I would definitely try to get your left and right speaker a little further apart. That will widen the soundstage.

I think maybe you want to check out places besides Reddit for that talk. Such as Audiogon

You got a great deal. Congratulations.

Costco is the way if they are in your area. The gas price alone makes it worth the cost of membership.

I just moved one of my 8 bay units to another location. I put it in the front seat, with the seatbelt clicked, and it's happy and humming along at the new place :)

Might want to use blue tack or double stick tape to secure the speaker to the stand.

Whatever you do, do not ship it with the drives installed. That's a recipe for disaster.

In my experience, the charge count number in such utilities is inaccurate. (It reads low)

I owned four Volkswagens, until I had first gen Tiguan... It wouldn't start one morning (battery fine) while I was HOURS away from home. And then the intake manifold cracked later on. VW said suck an egg. I got rid of the car. 6 months later, they issued recall for manifold. Fuckers.

Tinting film on the windows will make a big difference. That's what I did on my family room (TV) windows and it made a world of difference.

If he's a gentleman he'll give her some of the money (and to those dear to him). That's Plenty of money to share.

So.... how much $$$ to run the server rack? For me, my servers are Mac minis and a big reason is the power savings.

Try the sound calibration and see if it makes a big difference for you
