Ported Speakers and Tube Amps??
Sean is absolutely correct on port loaded speakers! I ended up "stuffing" the ports with foam (beside other things i had to do to the volume of the enclosure) to make them aperiodic. Results are satisfactory, but i believe ported speakers, even th... 
Question on shipping speakers without boxes.

Anyone seen the ad for free Mi-Horns?
I asked for free ones, got them and tried them. They improved focus, imaging and detail. On downside...? I'll leave the 'critique' for wise-asses, who wont try them even for free.

What's the funniest or dumbest thing you did?

Who's Your Favorite Bass Players; Why?
Crazy, I have "TEB" somewhere? I worked with Simandle. Hours of scale and fret work. One of the best books for bass. Even though written in 1800's for upright/bow, you can use it with electric bass! I did it, and regret quiting.
