In terms of the Real Traps, are you lacking room for the Mondo Traps in terms of height or width? You probably already know this, but they do make shorter ones (2x4 and 2x2) that are thicker - the 2x4 is the one I am using due to height issues in my listening room. I'm pretty sure they will make custom sizes as well. I would suggest replacing and/or moving your tri-corner traps if needed to make room for Mondo Traps. Having them in all of your room corners makes the most difference. You could also look at moving your MicroTraps to the ceiling at some point and replacing them with HF MiniTraps on the side first reflection points as that should help more with bass trapping as well. Hope that info is useful - good luck with working out the best solution for your setup!

I guess I'd fall back and ask does your room sound as good as is possible? If yes then if it were me (with my predisposition against power cords and your not finding a sub you like) I'd suggest it's done. If no, then I think hammering the room into good sound would be money well spent, regardless of power cords or anything else. I've always felt you need to get your speakers working correctly FIRST and after you know they're in good shape, then you start working on your room. After your room is in good shape, THEN you can fiddle with the little nuanced items like power cords or crystal watches and magic cubes. Just my opinion. |

Coytee thanks for your input! I find it refreshing to hear a honest opinion!!!
I certainly have not taken the leap to special stones and crystals. Yet! What I've learned in life so far is never discount anything. Who would have ever thought that so much info would be available on a Blackberry? Cripes, when we got our first color TV many years ago we were stunned. So, I just try to keep an open mind on all things. My system is being built today for a room of tomorrow. My present room is frankly unsuitable for superior music reproduction but accepting the limitations enables me to take the long view. I can improve it to a point with traps which I can take to the next room. The present speakers are but a stepping stone. They have limitations which I have mentioned but subs are on the horizon. They have to be as accurate as I think the speakers are. Just have not found one yet, JL being the exception at this point. I don't believe that anyone with this passion ever says their system is done. Which can be good or bad depending on your view I'm buying the wires, PCs, and components now because when I retire, I expect a large income drop and there won't be discretionary money to have this much fun with. Maybe then I can walk the beach and find stones and shells to place around the room. Thanks again for you opinion! Gordon |

Gordon,
My knee-jerk response would have been in the order you presented the options. After all, the speakers (transducers) are one of the primary components in your audio system. But seeing as you have already upgraded the IC's & speaker cables, you might as well complete the 'set' with PC's, then go for the sub.
