iTunes download formats?
Knownothing Yep. that's right. I went to get a huey Lewis & The News track off their greatest Hits cd... Once I put it into the cart I got the pop up saying this file and a number of others were available in the PLUS (256) format... and did I ...

Given you say you hear it from ALL tweeters... I suspect you have tried turning off the rears.the front & rear tweets are different from one another BTW. I'd have to say the thing in common with ALL of them is the crossover. if the connections... 
How to insure shipping large speakers?
I figured the cardboard was gone or tore up so I added that bit in. sorry. I'd think one could check off on the professional packing seeing as how they are, were, have been, etc being the factory crates!Earlier this year when I had my Dodd mono bl... 
How to insure shipping large speakers?
Try Lloyd's of London....or have you talked to your own property insurance co?As a matter of fact, now that I think about it, I believe Pilot Air might do it. I was at one time, going to buy some speakers that were combined into only one container... 
How Much Have You Lost Thru' The Upgrade Process?
Jeeezzz Louise, were we supposed to keep track?I'm with John on this one. I'm not keeping track as no actual budget was previously ordained. My goal didn't include a budget at all. Perhaps that's where I screwed up in the first place. Nope. That w...

I'm gonna say 30 wpc should drive the Dyn's. BUT at what levels? 86db is as much the issue as is the impedance here. I'd say look to more than 30wpc on those particular speakers. Like 60 or 80wpc.I ran a pair of phase tech 2 ways, with 85db, 8ohm,...

DIY boxing & packing with substantial improvements via ply & foam, are IMO, the way to go. Especially if one has an item they wish to continue modding, or upgrading with the maker. Additionally, for those selling expensive one off, or no l...

Well, there you have it. it's extra for more protection. All the way around. Naturally.'Course there's always duct tape... or cut out cardboard + duct tape so the 'wood' isn't exposed.I guess it always comes down to the same old question, "Just ho...

TobiasThanks... that info, just like learning to play poker, cost me some amount. I'd hate to see other's pay as dearly.The notion of the flight cases is quite a good one too..,.and most recently, I've even heard tell, (though have no actual exp.)...
