| Tilting B&W 802D speakers slightly forward or backward This is an excellent question, and the answer is you want the tweeter to point at your ears or above your ears. Not below. The exception are speakers where the tweeter is not the top driver. The B&W speakers in particular just sound better... | |
| b & w 804 s Is this happening for both at similar times? | |

| OT: Espresso machines @rhg3 Those look very nice, I will look for one without a grinder though since I already have one. The Bambino has been recommended to me as well and looks like a solid contender, especially for size. Nice to know affordable replacement parts a... | |
| OT: Espresso machines AHhh, ok so I don't want LED/LCD diplsays but I was thinking of something with a built in water tank, milk frother. Not thinking about the mechanical types, but if others want to discuss sure. | |
| OT: Espresso machines @whart by hand pulled, you mean the one's that literally have a lever on them you pull to push the water through? | |
