Best Tweaks.....

Jea48, where do you get Taiyo Yuden? I'd like to give them a try.I burned the black Momorex on my Marantz CDR500 and hated it. Muddy, incoherent, fuzzy sound. YMMV.I currently use Sony CDR Audio color was a dark blue/green now a light blue/green. ... 
Help choose a power amp
Bryston or Krell will give you some bass. 
Myth: low-power high-efficiency
The best option I can come up with is something like the new Jordan JXR6 HD 2" driver which goes to 80hz and useful bass into the 60's. Maybe put two drivers in each cabinet. This is good for vocals etc. Fostex is anothere option for higher effici...
