| speaker/room bass modes Using my current test equipment, I referenced 80db at 1khz and my greatest variation is -7db at 63hz and +4db at 40hz.I would be thrilled with that result. | |
| Mac vs. PC differences to Airport Express? Folks, it's Mac, not MAC. A shortened form of Macintosh, not an acronym. MAC is something else (Media Access Control, as used in the term MAC address). | |
| My favorite Steely Dan song has to be... Bodhisattva, followed closely by My Old School, Reelin' in the Years, Dr. Wu, and Peg. | |
