| Auto-Tune, Snake Oil, Fuses, Cables, Room Correction, Best DAC, Measurements & Tekton Why is this crapola being posted on the forum? | |
| Placement of Single Subwoofer Affecting Sound of Main Speakers If you only have three (?) locations for the sub that "work" (WAF at work here?) but none of them really work, get rid of the sub unless you're willing to find the actual optimum position for the sub sonically.
