| Subwoofer suggestion Next time read/quote my entire post. I already said it was not apples to apples. And to be more accurate, the PC12 was $1350 new in 2013. The ASW855 retailed $2200 new. I bought it used for $500. | |
| Subwoofer suggestion While it’s not an apples to apples comparison, I recently replaced a 30 year old Paradigm PS1000 with a very nice used B&W ASW855 for my second family room system. I have an SVS PC12 in my main system which performs respectably, but this B&am... | |

| $10K Budget for Speakers: Martin Logan Masterpiece vs Tannoy I’ve had a pair of Tannoy 638’s for over 25 years and they have never failed nor failed to impress me. With that said, I do have a ML center channel that is paired up nicely with those Tannoys. Let your ears do the deciding. Try to get at least a ... | |
| Time for a new a/v receiver could use some input! I Demo’d the 7013 and the Yamaha 3080 (same model that our moving company “lost” in our recent move to TN) and the Marantz is much more musical with a better soundstage and depth compared to the 7013. I ended up getting the 8012 because I plan on ... | |
| Quick and free fuse tweak On steel vs silver or gold fuses, here is my explanation on the theory of less resistance for higher end fuses.The whole idea behind a fuse is that heat causes the conductor to melt. If the fuse is made of silver or gold vice steel, since both sil... |
