Yup, and the phrase āWhat kind of magic is this?ā comes to mind. 
Iām used to a fairly tall soundstage, given the height of my Neat MF9s, but 3D front to rear soundstage, with instruments appearing at varying distances from my ears ā¦ really?
Superb piece of kit.

Did she want to get you and your hifi out of the sitting room? 
What power amp did you have before the 500? What benefits did you gain ? Would consider a 52 or 252/500 combination.
And the reason of all the bass traps is to not be able to hear his wife voice too
Appears to be a joke?
Otherwise, Iād think it was a rude commentā¦

Well, it actually never entered the main hub space which serves as kitchen/diner/seating area ( 10x5 ) metres. After moving into our new build house the system got plonked in a living room ( 6x3.5 metres ) where we quickly realised, that the room was surplus to requirements as a social/entertaining space. When I finally found time to sit down and listen, I realised that the system was soundingā¦. well bloody awful in the room. So the journey started and 2 years later blissfully ended.
As for my wifeās suggestion she genuinely meant, that I could go all out with acoustic treatment. Sheās a good old girl wifey! 
I suppose we are also lucky, that we donāt have to accommodate a telly downstairs, as we only
watch about an average 1 hour every 3 months upstairs in a guest room to which the TV has been allocated almost like the naughty corner. ATB Peter

It was a joke. Nothing rude. But honestly, I prefer to see components than men legs.

Imported from Australia?
Had the 250DR before the 500.
Basically got more of everything. Deeper bass, more detail, bigger dynamic range.
The law of diminishing returns is obvious though but the 2nd hand 500 was certainly a great value upgrade.
For those of us who were on the original forum in 1997, you would remember the first picture of a manās legs pointing towards the speakers. This, first done, by a gent named Ron Toolsieā¦ it became convention from that point on.
Must have socks onā¦
