Best speakers out there for Midrange and Highs
Hi JAbout a year ago I was looking for some bookshelf speakers to pair with my SVS SB4000 subs. I listened to the bookshelf versions of (sorry I don't remember the models) Focal, Spendor, B&W (805D I believe) and the little larger than bookshe... 
Go Active Crossover or Upgrade existing XOs?
I have a hybrid system. Active crossover between lows and mids and passive between mids and highs.Adding an active crossover to the system was the single biggest improvement to SQ I ever made. They can take quite a bit of time to dial in if you ha... 
Anyone have any experience with Select-Hifi out of the UK?
Hi Bob,Thanks for the feedback. 
Unsolvable Woofer Pumping (Phono only)
The fact that a subsonic filter eliminates the woofer pumping indicates that there is an isolation/feedback issue of some sort. Figuring out the sort is the trick. The problem may not be acoustical.Your cartridge is picking up some low frequency v...

Slight Hardness on LP's
I also agree with @onhwy61.I suspect your source material. The stage microphones are designed to reject sound that doesn't originate directly in front of the mic and especially that which originates from the rear of the mic such as applause. Also ... 
Electrical interference questions for speaker cable and adjacent subwoofer power cord
I think the vibrations of the subwoofers in your main speaker cabinet will be a bigger issue than electrical interference from your power cables. Plus the optimal location of the subs in your room may not be the same as the optimal location for yo...

Why HiFi manufacturers don't make active crossovers anymore?
I prefer an active crossover. Adding one to my system was one of the biggest improvements I made. The clarity of the system improved immensely and I am able to play it at a much higher volume if I choose to since the mid/hi amps are not being suck...
