Intriguing inquiry, are floor-stand speakers always better than active speakers?
@holmz   LMAO , thanks for that one   
For all you Bose 901 Haters!
@mrdecibel  Unfortunately I will unfortunately need to take the 5th . I remember the "SABA" name and know there was a German MFG of the same name. However looking at images on-line none look familiar . It was a very solid and basic wood plinth whi... 
For all you Bose 901 Haters!
:) ^^^ so sorry @mrdecibel . Being 40 years ago I certainly am unable to be 100% accurate on the name. So, Ampzilla seems to be closer .....and no I was not a fan of the movie . Hmm... I didnt even spell GAS correctly . My memory and my hearing a...

For all you Bose 901 Haters!
thank You @waytoomuchstuff   I needed a very good smile put on my face today  You were kind and on certainly on point  Bose 901 owners probably had more fun with their systems than we had with ours.  And probably still do.  They were cooler than...

Room Acoustics: Where to place the squares?
All written above ^^^^ is good advice, I went with ATS panels - found them on my local CL site. Spending the $$$ without sure of the outcome was questionable for me at first - where to start, so I went used. May not be the best choice if your musi...

Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver
