Mark if you only knew how many times Boomer has either fallen or jumped off the boat while chasing a caught fish still in the water, that dog loves to fish! I think Jan took that picture Rick, had to have.

Oh, that's neat. In playing around with my speaker placement, trying to find what imaged best, they ended up nearly in the position recommended by Cardas. To given credit where credit is due, the Cardas recommendations are based on the long known mathematic principle of the Fibonacci sequence and the "golden triangle". Heaven help us if Cardas were to take credit for devising that! Their marketing machine would run into overtime. Angstrom put out a similar pamphlet on the arrangement decades ago. Those dimensions are indeed hard to match given that they place the speakers a huge distance away from the walls. I've found the best imaging sound simply comes from trying to form the triangle and worry less about the immediate wall interactions & distances. Most people just don't have the space for such a placement. Oddly enough, the best stereo image i have of the three main systems in our house is my office.

Do you often have fish laying out on the driveway?

Chris I thought the Cardas placement had the 60s a little too close to the listening position Well, that's where I had the benefit of a long room. While my speakers are a Fibonacci progression from the rear and side walls, the distance between them ends up being just slightly less than the distance to my listening position. So I still end up with nearly an equilateral triangle there too. There's enough room left for my surrounds and rears to also be the same distance from the listening position. Even my center is in an arc with the fronts, being exactly the same distance. Sure the receiver can correct for time delay, but I like getting things as close as possible to need less correction in the processing.

Awesome Dog, Rick. Julie's parents have had Weimaraners for about 15 years now.

I have the book, how to raise and train a weimaraner, but I've never owned one. I just liked the Weimaraner in the Dobie Gillis book, I Was a Teen-Age Dwarf, so I picked up the book on impulse when I was in Connecticut, of all places.

Nice Weim. My wife had a Weimaraner named Bullet when we started dating. Not the brightest beast but had a great personality and was a sweetheart. I felt guilty kicking him off her bed when I stayed over.
