Yikes! I don't know about lamp cord on sopras, but I think your room looks fantastic and inviting. Congratulations.

I was kind of exaggerating about the lamp cord my point being better speakers will always sound better then lower models even with cheap speaker cable the proportional gain with better speakers is far more noticeable than speaker cables and tweaks. I agree, that room looks amazing.

You live and learn, and its all about the experience along the way. I do have some high hopes from what I am hearing already, I went through the master set speaker placement this weekend and they ended up pretty much where they where before I started.

With no sub and no rear port these move the rear curtains with authority. Cables are hopefully arriving this week and will have time to install them after Thanksgiving, I will let you know the results.

As they say you never know what your missing until you hear it and there is always something better out there so the hunt never ends :scratch2:

Congratulations on a great pair of speakers and a very nice room setup. Everything I’ve read indicates that the 3s are, at not quite 2/3 the price, almost the equal of the Sopras and a real bargain, perhaps only lacking the ability to play as loudly but having a bit more warmth. They should be ideal for your room. With good amplification and cables, you will have a fantastic system.

Very nice room! Congratulations on your new system. Enjoy it.

Great looking system. Bet it sounds as good as it looks. Terrific metal furniture & rack.

Stunning setup. Love the color contrast. I am sure you will enjoy them for a long time.

What amplifiers did you choose to pair with your equipment?

Thanks all!!
