I qualify flat frequency: IN THE ROOM, at the LISTENING POSITION.That’s one of the benefits of L-Pads, you buy from company sp... | |
| L-Pads. Speakers Awful Without Them, New Ones Ordered oldhvymecI agree, before I hook up a vintage piece, I take off the bottoms, tops, sides, anything removable, especially the face plates in my shop, You need face plates off for real access to the pots and rotating contacts.
