Nelson Pass stuffs the boards in his First Watt products himself, a batch at a time. Roger Modjeski h... | |

While a pair of Rythmik F18’s is undoubtedly awesome (I say that being familiar with the F15), a quartet of smaller subs (say, the F12) may be even better. Place two of them as close to your listening position as possible, to maximize " visceral-n... | |
| Useful Information Tim, you have hit the bullseye dead center (so to speak ;-). I admit I was surprised (and shocked) by how many fell for his obvious con (I think he was too). Had they not heard of his "university", "airline", "steaks", "wine", and other numerous s... | |

Can't go bitin' t... | |

| Corona playlist- time to smile Skeeter Davis: "The End Of The World". 1962.The Beatles: "The End". 1969. Fittingly and ironically, the last song all four played on.Dylan: "Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door". 1973. | |
| Stuck at home? Make a kit!! On the other hand.....We know the price of many hi-fi products is a direct result of the cost of the parts used to make them. They are built to a price point, compromises made to reach a target retail price. Rythmik designer/owner Brian Ding freel... | |
| MUST Have Vinyl @roberjerman beat me to it in suggesting a Sheffield direct-to-disk LP. Not for the sake of the music on any of them (that's too personal for me to predict), but to hear what is possible in the LP format. Direct-to-disk LP's (Sheffield or otherwis... |
