Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there?

Only two tracks to test your system, forever!
@dynamiclinearity ....Pentangle, +1....'Sweet Child'. +10, and vinyl (Yes, I can....;)  ....and do, sometimes...) The 2nd varies, dependent on what I'm thinkin' on listenin' for.... After melodic, something stark, wild, insane inane.... The Tu...

I've been selling heavier gear for lighter gear
Getting out of the recliner is still pretty easy....it's that first 'sit-up' in the a.m.that poses challenges.... From *blink* "Coffee....stat..." to "...oh, no...not again...." *L*

@musicfan2349  *L* I'm 71, and have a 'cut-off' of 1/3rd of my weight (135ish)....beyond that, a couple of younger emoloyees, hand trucks, dollies, and a Bobcat with forks and a boom if it calls for that.... If I needed the latter for, say, an am...

Welcome to Hell, here's your 8-Track
8 track was a brief step up for my brother, who started out with a car LP player. As long as the road was smooth (recently re-paved preferable), it almost worked.  You could almost see the vinyl being carved out of the grooves... The 'reverb uni...
