| HOW TO CORECTLY BY-PASS THE POTS A quick google took me to "restoring the AR-3a" at classicspeakerpages.net. This pdf has everything you could possibly need to know about that AR. | |
| "NEWEST'" Favorite album If "Love It To Death" is your fave "new" album, might I recommend Bowie's "The Man Who Sold The World"!Love the recommendations, not so crazy about the punctuation police. And it's a good thing I have spell check!I will be checking out lots of the... | |
| Speaker life expectancy: How long can you buy used I just pulled my very first set of speakers out of storage. I haven't heard them in 20 years and they have been in storage for 12. I Am happy to report they work perfectly. Frazier Concertos- 10" woofer, 3x5 horn, dreaded piezo. The pleated surrou... | |
| Your Personal Soundtrack Reggae is great while trying to get things done around the house. Bob Marley or compilation cds to keep away monotony. | |
| How is Mid Fi defined? If you payed way too much for the sound you are getting, congratulations- you have genuine hifi! | |
| A "blind" speaker recommendation based on specs... A couple of examples: I have two very different standmount speakers that are both rated 86db 6ohm. My little 12/20wpc 8/4ohm t-amp makes nice open, full music with one pair, sounds anemic and shut in with another.The Totem One speakers I used to h... | |

| Bi-amping + speaker crossovers = redundant? If you send the full range signal to the tweeters with tone controls setting the bass as low as it goes...you will blow your tweeters. No question, don't do it. Tweeters just cant move that much (excursion). | |

| Class A watts vs Class A/B watts When I had Totem 1s, they made some amps sound weak and shut in. My friend uses a Bedini 25x25 class A 25wpc with them and it sounds great. You would be best served by auditioning the amps if at all possible. | |

| Looking for a compact speaker w/ some low end kick Another thought- how big were the floor standers you just gave up? I have a pair of PMC FB1s (and my wife loves them) and they don't take up any more space than most of the speakers mentioned with stands. Maybe you should look into one of the tiny... | |
| Looking for a compact speaker w/ some low end kick Centuries ago I listened to a pair of Linn Sara speakers. I was most impressed with the meaty bass they produced. I have not heard the Mani-2s or the Neats, but they both use the isobaric double woofer design as did the Saras (Linn has a patent). ... |
