| What speakers for a 10 x10 room? In a square or cubic room, a conventional monopole speaker will have severe low-frequency standing-wave problems. However, a dipole speaker will not, because the figure-8 bass radiation pattern will only significantly excite room modes in one dime... | |
| Halcro VS Boulder amps, which one is better ? I haven't heard the 1000-watt, sixtysomething grand Boulders, but I do prefer the mid-priced thirtysomething grand Boulders to the Halcros.

| Deciding on the right huge speaker Natalie -I see that your audio passions run deep and if you thought I was arguing against in-home auditions, well that would indeed have been abhorrent advice. I appreciate your post because it made me reflect on ways for Kthomas to more reliably ... |
