| Speakers On Wheels? fish23geeks glad they work for you, but ball bearings would definitely make tracks in my wood floor made out of 3/4" thick oak. More of them, to avoid making tracks, would move more readily than my 3 dual wheel hard plastic casters (photo/link... | |
| Subwoofer for music only ? glad OP’s sub sounds good, most of my yap is about larger spaces, not partially filled with a bed. rear surround, Sub(s) for Video is a different matter. earlier I wrote "Black Hawk Down ,,,,, Room filling Impact, not directional unless you have... | |
