| BIWIRE TERMINALS Yes, get into the speaker and solder the wire directly to the crossover. Every audiophile knows this is the only way to get REALLY good sound. Or, you could just match + to + and - to - on top or bottom (or even one each if you want) and listen ha... | |

| Picking a mid-tier HT receiver for optimal audio For the price of say a T773 you could just as easily get a T753 which has all of the same processing abilities along with a good 2ch amplifier.

| Processor Recs One thing that Lexicon has going for it is (besides being very good as-is) that the initial purchase is like a buy-in to the company. They offer upgrades in both firmware and hardware over the lifespan of the product. After they have maximized the... | |
| Flat speaker cable Runnig cable under carpet is a huge pain in the rear. If you are on a crawlspace it would be much easier to go under the house.Another option is to use small AWG (16/2) wire that can be tucked between carpet and baseboard. Generic 16/2 is often en... | |
| SPL meter subwoofer tuning SPL meters can get you kindof close but it really takes tuning by ear. When "perfectly" flat response is acheived according to the SPL meter it usually sounds bad. There is a formula for correcting the RadioShack meter that can help (search archiv... | |
| Is Bi - amping worth the trouble? With those speakers, as with most speakers in general, you will see a greater return for your money by going tube preamp instead of biamping with tube/ss. Everyone will eventually try to biamp and many will go back to single amp of high quality. T... |
