| Designing a Plinth Jimbo3, Cocobolo is a very dense wood. It has a density along with other woods like maple, rosewood, cherry, etc. These various densities are also very similar to MDF (medium density fiberboard). In most cases MDF is chosen for not only it's densi... | |
| Can you help with music selection? Woofer15, I get this sinking feeling that much damage is soon to be done to your monthly budget. By the time you get done, the "floundering" music industry may not be "floundering" any longer.In fact, they may see a banner year.Happy Listening, Ed. | |

| old Jbl's distorting Dynaco, it depends on your tastes. Until this day, I have still not yet found speakers that have that "JBL" sound.If you really enjoy the sound of your JBLs, have them repaired. Voice coil replacements would not be $500.00. Mine cost that much bec... | |
