I didn't personally attack. You started with whining about hiding the cables when it is not my concern / priority. I am not the one got but hurt.

oh and i've had many a criticism's on my "rack" just not on these forums. but i don't care because i don't need a fancy smancy rack and it is perfect for my needs .
Same goes true for my needs. This is what I was trying to get at, but you are still not getting it.

Good decision. This cable hiding talk doesn't need to get escalated. it's not important, for me that is.

I was posting about the speakers, but you are after me. Your posts only contain personal attack. I don't have to post about my speakers? Wow, young man, this is internet. I can post anything I want, as long as it fits in the subject in the forums. I will continue to post pics.

kiddo,

No. Since these speakers are black anodized aluminum shell waxing isn't a good idea. Thanks for asking.

They say "Professional" right there on the speaker! That means they are really awesome speakers.

kiddo,

In fact, I was posting about the speakers as well (they were designed to make and master music), but you are after getting a rise out of these forums. My posts only contain personal attacks? Wow, young man, this is the internet. I can post anything I want, as long as it fits in the discussion of the thread. I will continue to post.

amateur,

even if you put "holes" in your wall that you don't want you can patch them up as though they were never there.
I use something like this for cable management for my TV.



I painted it the same color as the wall, it only required a couple a screw holes, is inexpensive and it looks good.

It's available at Canadian Tire.

OP You have some good looking speakers but for the money, you could get a lot more.
But if you are happy with them, well, lucky you.

I am still getting this urge to grab the OP by the neck and strangle him whenever I read his sig. Cheez, is that the typical reaction you get from people you meet in real life?

Thanks guys all. I am honored. Unfortunately mods are not allowing me talk about it so I can't discuss. You are more than welcomed to PM me with any questions though.

Oh wait, do you actually listen to your speakers in that configuration? The nearby surface (the table) will add frequency response irregularities due to diffraction.

I just wonder......did that speaker company buy the Focal name from K-Mart? (As in, K-Mart had Focal as one of their trademarked names.)

I inspected my cool house during the build, and checked for coffee mugs and cigarette butts but couldn't find any there. The house is custom build with lots of options. You can't afford it.

Focal CMS lines have desktop notch setting on the back of each speaker. It also has height adjustable spikes. This ain't your average speaker you buy at WALMART.

At this point I have to admit even to myself that there is no hope to be had in you.
