What to do about ventilation duct noise???
QuietCity;I had a similar problem and the only remedy within reason was MOVING. The remodeling needed for a cure was beyond question because of the cost.If you have the time take a look at this site re noise and its psychological effects on people... 
Songs that you just have to sing
The most recent tune that seemed to stick in my mind was Charles Lloyd's arrangement of "The Water is Wide." No words w/ LLoyd, just a tune, so I just hummed it a lot but I remember nice versions by Roger McGuinn and Pete Seeger too. I remain, 
Any louspeakers that has a transferable warrantee?
Hi Ake: Thailand! Sounds exotic.I'd take a close look at Thailand before buying "for warranty." Even if you have a warranty someone has to do the work! You might wind up with a product with a lifeteime warranty and no authorized servicer in the fa...

Hi Twl:Was just going through this site as I saw your post back here. You might enjoy??? ("God-awful" voigt pipe from the club of Norway", he says) it if you haven't already been there. I'm not sure what to make of it. I'm messing around with a fe... 
Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?
Data: You are so right. Here in the U.S. it's roughly the total American death count in Viet Nam, each year, right under our collective nose. It's strange what our brain allows us to ignore (people think psychoacoustics is something) in order to p...

Twl:You wrote:"I can live with 40Hz"I agree Twl. If the speaker handles 40Hz really well it's much betteer than having something that stumbles over something lower. I've been building two ways for a couple years that max out at 39Hz, but handle th...
