| Out of Balance I've given up counting the number of LP's / CDs I own that have terrible mixing. A jazz trio that has one instrument in the left speaker, two in the middle and nothing on the right side. And it's not the equipment. I often wondered what the eng... | |
| Do most people prefer tight bass or non tight bass? I like my Bass pan fried in butter. Light sprinkle of salt & pepper. Isn't English a fun language. | |

| Should I buy another flat screen now while they are still relatively cheap? The price of TVs continues to fall every year as new technology comes along. Unless this is the tariff question in disguise, I would say never buy a TV until you have to. It will be cheaper next year. IMHO | |
| B&W 705 S3 with bad acoustics @renosteve Just a thought, but check out SoundLabspeakers.com and read their white paper on the SoundLab electrostatic speakers. The section on distribution of sound waves should be interesting to you. Could be a good speaker choice for your ro... | |
