They have a very good working relationship with Roy Hall, (I was told he actually packed mine after it was the demo at the last Vegas CES show) so I'm not worried in that regard.

I have had dealings with Echo as well. Are you still in the Portland area? If so, I could use some critique of my system and room if you would be interested in getting together sometime to do a bit of listening.

and to think I used to consider 85F hot! Sure can grow tomatoes down here though, watermelon too.I took a look at yout TT in the gallery, that is one serious looking DIY project, and a very nice piece of craftsmanship. Looks like you did everything but wind the motor and cartridge yourself.
I'm probably not the guy to critique your rig anyway, I don't listen to stuff other than my own very often. I only have one friend who doesn't think I spend way more than I should on audio stuff, and I have a very modest system by standards around here.
As far as rooms go, my approach is pretty simple:
In a fairly large room, say 20x15 or larger, put the speakers on the long wall, give them plenty of room away from the walls, and put your chair up against the opposite wall with something to absorb reflections directly behind your head.
In a small room, listen nearfield.
Both these methods make for a minimum of fuss, but then I'm a bachelor and don't have anybody telling me where I can put the speakers or couch.
Kurt at Echo can be a very good resource, but he's gotten so busy that he often doesn't have time to answer questions anymore. Best to go in early on a week day if you can swing it. I love the Echo Audio "high pressure" sales tactic: "Take it home and try it. If you don't like it, bring it back."
