| Frequency Response Just use your ears and listen. Placement is important but not measurement. | |
| Intriguing inquiry, are floor-stand speakers always better than active speakers? preston - If you haven't heard of floor standing active speakers you haven't lived! I've had fully active floor standing speakers since 1976. Good luck. | |
| Frequency Response My opinion is yes and yes. I was surprised how much low bass is present at 30Hz. or below. I'd say try at least one sub, you can always sell it, and if you buy used you won't lose $$ should decide it's not for you. | |

| 2SJ77 / 2SK214 replacement Yes, you may be able to find some on ebay. But do NOT buy from China as they are most likely fakes. Be patient and they will eventually show up. I continue to look for V-Fet's and occasionally find them from old stock or used from an old amp. | |

| AR-2ax. On the Prowl. Typical Issues??? I think you probably already know. Woofer surround, I don't recall if they were foam or cloth. Change caps in crossovers. Not very efficient but a darn good sounding speaker. To my knowledge, no problems with either midrange or tweeters, Just be s... | |
| Damping Factor Agreed, if the cone doesn't move much then DF is not as important. It's all about control of the diaphragm. Some people like loose and some like tight, I'm in the tight Fanclub. | |
| Is rectifier tube arcing a problem? Sorry dekay, I will refrain from participating in a tread you are part of and would appreciate you do the same for me. | |
| Does anyone play two pairs of speakers at the same time? Not anymore! Your clarity and detail will suffer. | |
