| How any "wall pluggers" are out there? I think Jaw dropping is a good descriptive! Sorry to say that I don't share your point of view and I believe that audiophiles that are not "Wall pluggers" are probably "DEAF"! Of course, this is not meant to be offensive. | |

When I set the phase to 180, the subwoofer bass is much less and everything sounds a little bit out of tune. Whichever setting produces the m... | |
| A Question About Reviewer Techniques You have a point, but there are other considerations. In my opinion, this type of practice would also bias the testing. Furthermore, what would you think if a reviewer is asked by a manufacturer to test and review their new $2,000 speaker, but the... | |
| Valhalla non factory termination- lower value? Considering that Nordost will reterminate them for maybe $200, how much of a discount is in order? | |
