Julian,

I installed the svettes a couple weeks ago. They made a nice improvement to the lower end. Also the imaging and soundstage improved slightly. The thing I noticed the most was my sub had less of an effect on the soundstage. Thats a good thing since I will be needing my sub for HT duties in a month or so.

Haven't had a chance to use the rollerblocks.

Rob

Even without the svelte shelves, those PMC speakers are beautiful. Beautiful wood, beautiful design - bet they sound awesome.

What are you using between the speakers and the sveltes? I can't tell from the picture.

Did you ever have your EB1i's on spikes? If so, what is the difference with the sveltes?

I was using spikes with my EB1i's.

The svette shelves made a nice improvement to the lower end.

Additionally the imaging and soundstage improved slightly.

Isn't this hobby fun? AND. . . . . Thank you Dan for telling me how to post pictures . . . First time I've tried it and IT WORKS!!!

Tom.......What is really crazy is hearing how my music is "awful", but she can listen to the television with cackling sales women on HSN or QVC all day. Go figure. Thank God I bought her wireless headphones. I can't stand to hear the constant drone of that sales pitch crap.

Tom, I love to be relegated to the "dog house" where I can listen to my "awful music".

Dan, around my house the constant cackling doesn't necessarily come from the television set.
