| Why has audio become so specilized over the years? Here is a link to old Radio Shack catalogs. Beside their house brand, look at some brands they carried in the '50s and 60's, plus variety of gear choices. Yes, they had real brands back then.

| Why has audio become so specilized over the years? I got involved in audio in 1971 when I bought my first system: Sherwood 7100 receiver (there was no remotes to my knowledge yet for receivers); Garrard SL95B turntable with some level of Shure cartridge.

| How Is Bass Divided Among Speakers If No Sub? That headroom mentioned by Drew_eckhardt helped out finding more with Google on my end. Some THX processor has some features that others don't.

| French Doors On an inside wall, packing 6" of insulation in a 2" by 4" stud wall makes a good difference too. Double the 1/2" or 5/8" sheetrock helps a lot. The wall has a thud type of sound (knocking on it), instead of that hollow sound. It's not the best, bu... | |
| Misconnected interconnect Probably and hopefully not. But it's a good idea to unplug everything, before changing interconnects, and speaker wire too. Some equipment has some voltage build-up on the chassis and the RCA outer shield ring, when it's plugged in and even turned... | |
