How does bi-wiring work?
soggy sonic sponge wire i see @tomic601  , can you expound upon that?  
Finally...subwoofer that's aesthetically pleasing!
  Is "I used to look like Cary Grant" more your tune? Before all those pies? I hate to say it, @dekay  , but the tune a piano/tune a fish thing induced a REO Speedwagon flashback, and I freaked out.  Thankfully the internet exists and I was b...
