How long does it take a decent quality speaker to "wear out"?
@immatthewj  Good question! Other than the driver surrounds crumbling, I have never had a speaker “Wear out” I have upgraded crossovers because it was an upgrade, not because of any other reasons.

@audphile1  I’m currently using Amazon HD and it’s okay for the most part.  What are your experience’s with Tidal?

It is frustrating! I just set up a new email address and tried again and it still keeps giving me a “Whoops” message. If it’s my Wi-Fi, I’d be confused but it’s my cell phone as well. Oh well.  Amazon works and I haven’t tried Tidal yet.

Did you ever buy too much bass?
@erik_squires  Lol, The funny thing was the landlords lived right below me. They knew something was going on because they could feel the base, but without their hearing aids they couldn’t figure it out. I blew a few fuses in my apartment, but wha...

Back in the day I built 11 subwoofer’s. One pair, with 18” drivers and three thousand watts,  actually broke three out of four panes of glass in my apartment. today I have but one subwoofer, a SB2000 Pro from SVS and it’s more than enough 😄  
Speakers that are good with tubes
All the “classic” Klispch speakers, some Altec Lancing horn speakers and some of the older JBL horn speakers. I’m not familiar with the newer ones. But like others have said, it’s not all about the watts.
