| What are the best small not bookshelf speakers? Hopeless, since the WAF is in play. Best to play to her weakness which would be a speaker in an exotic wood, say rosewood.

| need something to replace built in LCDTV speakers? Yamaha makes a 'digital lens' which I have heard in a friend's home set up. Sounded great. If a WAF is not in play it is best to get full range speakers hooked up to a great amp. Also, consider using a single unit of the stereo pair as a center. M... | |

| Bookshelf Speakers for Master Bedroom I recently updated my bedroom system using a vintage pair of Boston Acoustics A40's. To solve the bass problem, the a40 has none, I tried a Yamaha YST 150 watt sub. Very pleased, especially since it goes into the desk. Worth a try with any of the ... | |
| Sound Anchor Blue Dots or BluTack?? None of these suggestions, except mine, of course, is the way to go. My suggestion is to use 'moongel', which can be purchased from some of the on line music instrument stores. Essentially, this is a product used by drummers. I have used it under ... | |

| What percentage of audiophiles use a sub ? It is not about the 'sub'. If your main speakers can get down to at least 25 hz, no need for sub. Otherwise, a sub is a must. Also, records in most cases needed to take out the bass as the cutting on the disk master was always a problem, groove wi... | |
