JR, I hope a brand revitalization is in the works. I rescued and refinished a pair of their LS350 speakers from a chain smoker ~2015. Gorgeous speakers that have some real visual gravitas. http://www.mcintoshcompendium.com/Compendium%20Docs/Speakers…

I’m in the process of installing a Home Depot sourced Pioneer mini-split. I went with the most efficient of their current offerings because they qualify for the 30% federal tax credit. Also check your local utility for rebates. Mine is going in a 1…

(Quote) Thanks for the feedback and compliments jhollander and 4thtry. I did, briefly, experiment with stand mounts, the center of gravity is just behind the front baffle, setting them so the baffle is perpendicular to the stand (and overhanging th…

First post! Just got my score cards in the mail (rural post office and vacation travel). I have no complaints about the scoring. I’ve noticed these speakers are very sweet spot dependent. Finishing initial assembly Friday of the competition I also d…
