@mswale I have the foam and cork, if I just stuck it together, could that work?

Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods?
@mapmap I take any explanation I can (other than everyone getting rich from drug money) On a positive note, I don't see the fewer part. There are so many new and new-ish cars on the roads, the wealth is well-spread. Not just in my fancy city, I s...

@imatthewj  update: I added the 100Hz high filters. So now the mains aren't singing as they used to but they are not overlapping either. I am OK with the sound, not enthusiastic, I guess the placement game shall begin. At least it sounds clean a...

Is it better to invest in a separate, standalone unit? By "invest" you mean better quality (best performance/value for the money), resale value, easier to upgrade, etc.? Usually the lower the price range, the more likely integrated will perform...

@immathewj I would have a hard time placing it behind the listening position. I would have to rearrange the room and get long cables. And I guess it wouldn't solve the main limitations. Next time (there won't be a next time, my wife would stop m...

@immathewj so you are right in your questions, we discussed most of it to death. But the big question is - regardless how I set it up, how it will sound. Sometimes less is more. When I wrote high pass/low pass filter, I meant: external, sorry for... 
Do your ears deceive you?
