In Reply to: Audio Girl how about an update? posted by bstan on October 4, 2002 at 14:00:52:

It appears to be several things:

1. The room dynamics -- I am going to probably need to cover the windows, as well as get several large rugs to take care of the "echo".

2. The source (software) is having some impact -- some movies are worse than others.

3. The Ruark is not complimentary with the Coincident monitors.

4. Calibration did not resolve the issues I mentioned previously. Incidentally the speakers were not "out of sync."

Here's what I am going to do to try to resolve:

1. As previously mentioned, cover the windows and purchase several large rugs for the hardwoods.

2. I have already returned the Ruark. I am planning on purchasing tower speakers and a center channel that are complimentary with each other. The towers will work better from an esthetic standpoint in the room anyway. I am considering Linn Ninkas as towers and a Linn center channel (forgot the model). Obviously, I will demo them in my environment prior to purchase.

If these things do not resolve the issues, the receiver and DVD player are targeted next for evaluation.

Good plan or no?

Many thanks for all the suggestions and excellent feedback. If you have any suggestions on speakers/center channel to evaluate, please do not be bashful :-)
