Is that like a 13" Wega? |
Har har. I had to take the pic like that because I wanted to get everything in the shot. It's actually a 28'' Wega, which is a respectable-enough size.

I got the impression both from the audio rig and HT rig that dhwilkin likes to do his listening and watching from the floor perhaps, sort of like M Rael's setup. If that's true, the speaker stands are at a perfect height. |
Almost right. I don't do my listening on the floor, but there's a couple of couches on the opposite side of the room. I sit or lie down on those. Actually, I should say I
sink in those, because they're really comfortable, and don't have firm seats. So I'm not that far off the floor. Actually, my headphone rig is in my bedroom, next to my computer desk, so for that I mostly listen sitting in a chair, though sometimes I'll listen on my bed.

cool pics! is that an adire audio rava sub you got there?
by the way, I've heard that nOrh 4.0s cast a tall soundstage, and they're also a little tilted upwards. perhaps low stands work well with them. |
It is indeed an Adire Rava sub. It's very well made, looks extremely classy, and does a good job in HT and music duties. And you got it right about the Norhs. The tweeter is angled somewhat upwards, so having low stands is actually the best strategy, and is used by most Norh owners. The stands are roughly 2' tall.
Actually, though you can't tell from the pics (or even up close sometimes, they blend well) I have three ceramic tiles, spraypainted black, sitting on each stand for extra weight and surface area, and the Norhs are on top of those.

Can you give us a brief comparison of the 2000's vs the HD 580's, other than the fact that the 2000s have a WAY higher coolness factor... |
I intend to, but not until the 2002s have had a chance to burn-in, as I just got them yesterday. So I probably won't start doing serious evaluating until Sunday or Monday. If you want to see my really brief, pre-burn-in impressions, you can check my thread in the Headphones forum.
