Clear sounding monitors.

I fought Saturday afternoon shopping crowds to get myself off to the local audiophile store and consult the truly snobby regarding sound. They had Puresonic cone stands in stock for getting the monitor speakers up off the shelf (pictured left). It's a good thing the shelf is cheap pine, because those stands are NOT kind to wood.

But - oh my, the clarity in the sound from the speakers now. I'll edit this shortly with an update later in the evening - I'm off to get a mic stand and the measurement mic - time to start fudging connections and get the room equalized.
