    Buying a guitar

    You'll want to use that fingering. Your fingers are long enough, just experiment with how you're angling your wrist and knuckles/etc. Chords are always very awkward at first, but you'll get used to them. Its important to use the proper fingering.

    What instrument do you play and how did it affect your choice in speaker?

    I play Horn in an orchestra and guitar in jazz/rock groups. This means that I know what real ensambles sound like in many different genres of musical playing. So I went with a speaker that sounded as "orchestral" as I could at the time.

    Rotel seperates for 5 channel HT?

    I have a Maranetz SR4200 reciever right now, would it be a good idea to buy just the poweramp section and use the SR4200 as a pre until my speakers are upgraded?

    I already have two B&W 602s and am buying three more to make five-channel. I will be upgrading the mains after this, then rears after that.

    Thank you. The room I'm using it in will have 100% light control, as it is a dedicated theater room.

    Raising a couch?

    I want to increase seating in my room... how should I go about raising a couch up high enough for the people seated in it to see above those infront? Should I just build a frame out of 2x4s and finish it with plywood? Thanks.

    Rotel seperates for 5 channel HT?

    What Rotel seperates setup would you suggest for a 5 channel HT with B&W 602 S3s all around? Budget is flexible... I need to get an idea of what the costs are before I set one though. Thanks.

    Which SVS for these purposes?

    Steve -- The room is about 22' long, and I think ~12' or 14' across at its widest. The seats are not very close to the back wall, ~8 feet back I'd say.

    Which SVS for these purposes?

    1000 (I could push for an extra 500) dollars, with amp. The room is mid-sized, and completely asymetrical. I need a subwoofer to go with B&W 602 S3s all around driven by Rotel. I tend to like to listen at "Theater" levels... so the sub needs to put out good solid volume. The room isn't...

    Should I stick with my B&Ws for HT, or buy dedicated speakers?

    Okay, they aren't in fact sheilded. I can work around that though, so five 602s is optimal?

    Should I stick with my B&Ws for HT, or buy dedicated speakers?

    Appearance isn't an issue, this is in a dedicated HT room. I think they actually might be magnetically shielded, but I'll look into it.

    Should I stick with my B&Ws for HT, or buy dedicated speakers?

    i could do 602 all the way around, would that be better than the LCR600 in the middle? And for sub I want SVS, just not sure which model/combo yet. And for amplification, I figured on Rotel seperates.
