Place a scarf over it, or add do-it-yourself Velcro fasteners to the original grill (as mentioned).Not certain what your home is like, but we have open windows 9 months out of the year, furry pets and an extremely lame maid (me;-) and my exposed s... | |
| Do tubes matter beyond gain stage on preamp? "Tube dealers confide that tubes beyond gain stage dont meaningfully impact sound, saying its what people want so its done."Please post details of the "tube dealers" who told you this. | |
| Helping a friend build a new system Forgot about Reynaud standmount speakers.Years ago I ran their Twin mkII speakers with a 7 watt Audion Silver Night DH/SET 300B amp in a room twice the size as your friends.Really nice sound @ moderate SPL's.Think their new standmount is the Bliss... | |
| Helping a friend build a new system See if DejaVu Audio still stocks the less expensive Audio Note speaker models.You might also look @ Silverline Audio. They have a $2K, easy to drive, standmount (rear ported though).DeKay | |

| TEKTON IMPACT MONITORS OK:If it a simple cap (center tweeter) then the higher the MF rating the lower the crossover point (per my basic understanding of such having "capped" a few tweeters to some of my single/wide range drivers).I simply used "distance" to balance the ... | |
| Acoustic treatment for windows and a piano I suspect that placing a weight on the damping pedal (if your's has one) might not be a good idea in the long run, thus the simple damping method I mentioned.Long story (not bothering to tell it) is that hollow stringed instruments (especially pia... | |
