Does anyone use hearing aids when listening to your hi-fi audio system?
I went through this with my dad.  Hearing loss is not equally distributed.  There's a couple of options that help.  You can go with mono and just lose some imaging.  Another option is headphones-you would most likely want a headphone amp with a ba...

Since you hear this through your sub too, I would try this:  Take either the sub or your power amps and speakers to the other end of the house.  Or, you can run a really long extension cord.This will tell you if it's the whole house or just that b... 
Should there be concern?
Why not report them to Audiogon?  Audiogon is great about looking into "fishy" sellers. 
Floor standing speakers in entertainment center
It can't hurt to try?  At least they are front ported.  I would make sure that you keep them as far forwards as possible.

Have you talked to Saturday Audio? 
Can I mix 5 ohm ( Front L/R) and 8 ohm (Surround & Sub) in a 7.1 speaker setup ?

Questions regarding used Jolida tube integrated I looked at today.
8 EL34's should be extremely hot!FYI, that's 75 watts per channel I believe, not 150.  That's still a lot for Klipsch but not overkill.Personally I found that older Jolida's came with crummy tubes.  Rolling tubes in them was expected.I still would... 
Some Stereo Speakers Appropriate to my Setup and Around $500 or Less (if possible)
