Yes, here in Quรฉbec the major point in summer with air conditionning is to removing relative humidity in the air and it's better to have variable speed for this. If the unit cool the air to fast without removing by condensing the humidity, you'll feel like frosty. I've been a project manager building enormous custom homes for the last 16 years, and it's always an adjustment for the families when the move in and ask why the air flow can't be felt. We point out that the house will always be comfortable. After a couple weeks, they get it. My HVAC system is just too strong for the cubic feet of air in my 65 year old house. I've been able to make some adjustments, but it's never going to be great. I leave the fan running 24/7 during the super cold periods which helps a lot. But it will never be what you will experience with your new system! Congrats! It wouldn't be an issue if you lived in the sahara.

Finally decided to change my old trusty Blackberry bold phone that's been with me for at least the last 10 years. Rolled over it twice with a pick-up, went thru snow, mud, snowmobile groomer track a few times and got thru 3 batteries... for a new Ulefone Armor 8 on Android 10... A big learning curve for me to adapt to it... But I don't think it's going to be as tough and last as long as the old Black...

Replaced umc-200 with XMC-2. I finally have a knob back in my main system! ๐ A knob and much better SQ, not sure why but the UMC-200 when I owned it was the poorest sounding pre/pro I have owned from Emotiva/Sherbourn, the X series is a huge upgrade in my room congrats on the new unit. Chad

XMC-2 is sounding great. I Installed it Friday. I have been setting the inputs, modes, etc. ; getting acquainted with menu system. Just now changed harmony settings. Not in a hurry to try Dirac but will. Iโm currently enjoying usb streaming from tidal/Roon. Very pleased so far ๐.

There is a reason why cheap lenses are cheap. My Yongnuo 50mm f1.8 is half the price of what I paid for the Canon STM 50mm f1.8. Just taking the Canon out of the box, the build is night and day. I can still use the cheapy as a beater and when it dies, I won't lose any sleep. It is competent at least f4.0 on up. Kind of defeats why you get an f1.8 if it can't have sharpness wide open. But eh! We move on. Stoked on the Canon though. Works peachy on my Sony a7ii and my Canon 7D especially of course.

I recently ordered a pair of Magnepan LRS speakers, which haven't been delivered yet. In the meantime, I watched a video review by Steve Guttenberg in which he compared it to the Klipsch RP-600M (pictured above). He really liked both, although there is quite a difference in character between the two models. That got me curious and I read more reviews (including from the Lounge's own Boomzilla) which were very favorable. My plan was to keep my current Ascend Sierra 2's and rotate them with the Maggies for stereo listening. Well what the heck, today I decided to make it a carousel and add the Klipsch to the lineup and just rotate them in and out based on which ones I felt like listening to on any given day (assuming I like the LRS and Klipsch enough to keep them; the Sierra 2's are darn good and I would never get rid of those). They're all light enough and the Sierras and Klipsch are relatively small in size, too, so they're all easy enough to move back and forth. I think it was on another Guttenberg video in which he suggested the same thing, why not just have more than one pair of speakers and then you switch them as you feel like it? I used to do that with headphones, having several with quite different sounds all at the same time. Today I found the Klipsch at a great price so I put them in the cart and purchased them, should be in transit just one day since the store is not that far away. Meanwhile, here's the Guttenberg video that helped make up my mind to add the Klipsch to the lineup (that plus the other reviews, but this one also features the LRS).

I needed two power cables to relocate my subwoofers. Not much selection for the ten foot range. I decided to purchase these rather than keep the home made extended ones. These cables are huge, all copper terminals, and wall plugs. Didn't expect this kinda quality. The cables may be purchased here: 10ft length power cables.
