The Sonus Fabers are taking a while to show up so hopefully I will have everything together in about 2 weeks.


I echo everyone else's comments. Cant wait to read your review and see your pictures. how small a room with the Elipsa's? probably bigger than my small room with Auditors. Interested in the sound, especially if your room truely is small with the large floor standers. Keep us posted. btw, my room an odd-shaped 12 x 11 x 9.75 ft

Later this year we'll be moving and hopefully I will finally get the 'proper' room I've alway wanted. After 15 years, I finally bought a new rack for all of the equipment. I really love the new Salamander rack. I love the way it displays the MC501s!

wakkz.....hej på dig
You could always built it yourself as I did, two layers of MDF boards with dampning glue and some paint, works great and cheap too.

Carlthewave.....nice JBL speakers.
Thanks
