I have 4 way highly efficient horns/15" woofers similar to Klipsch others recommend, but that has nothing to do with enjoying music at low volumes. It is easy to drive inefficient speakers at low volume, also no... | |

| Vinyl goes green! interesting, thanks for posting, time will tell. 'cost more'? anything that costs more negates it's advantage if people have to work extra time to make the extra money, burning lights, running ac, ...... it takes a long time to balance these fac... | |
| Positioning B&W 802’s with spikes in hardwood? you need something like a transmission jack, a friend to hold them steady. roll in place, lower them down. | |
