Miller??? you know what he means, (non-directional)🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️AC mains changes it’s direction 60 x a second (60hz) so it’s impossible for a fuse to be directional, unless it’s behaving like a diode!!!, then your in real big trouble if it is trying to...

Doubt those Monsoons will be the same quality or be a slip in replacement especially what Infinity did to the xover to make the Emim work to their satisfaction, that’s not a simple xover.https://ibb.co/tJdT1bWDid you dismantle the Emim to see wher...

Your thoughts on active loudspeakers
Not all active speakers contain op amps. Defenitely not referencing the Kiis with that statement. Digital domain active xover is even worse than analog active xovers to my ears for sterility.And yes I have heard the Kii’s setup by the trained impo...
