Sony Playstation 1 for a CD player ???
Tried 2 older ps1 again. Still no magic just ok sound. Used good cables units are in good working order. Both sound the same. We will use for linkied ps1 games as a cd player not so good. But as with all things cheap in audio folks will say best e... 
Low volume kind to low frequency?
At low levels your brain rolls off treble and low bass. Since not in the tiger hunting human range we dont need wide range at low volumes. 
Ultimate DIY speaker design?
Jack Hammer has very poor transiant responce due to massive excursions not so good for music mostly used for SPL compitions. Plus its cone is far smaller. MTX needs far more power because its very inefficent unlike fostex 31.5 in at 96db 1 watt 8o... 
Opinions on Full-Range/single driver speakers
Wonderful Electric you came to this conclusion after only hearing 1 pair of fullranges? And that one only used a wee driver and greatly over priced? Keep in mind many dont suffer so from the problems you list. The wee little wide bands dont have t... 
Opinions on Full-Range/single driver speakers
You still should beable to order f200a from madisound. They have become popular again maybe I shouldnt talk them up so online;) I would suggest a 90 liter BR or TL. f120a is also a great little driver but best for near field or use as midrange. fe...

First Watt F3 or Red Wine Audio 30.2
Having heard both same system same day owned the f3. I would say F3 is the better performer I just couldnt get behind the red wine 30.2. Still as far as small SS amps go my YBA was a step up over the f3. Still enjoyed my time with f1- f3 f5. Nice ... 
Woofers firing at an inside wall Why?
Woofers horn loaded. Lascalas are not known to have deep bass responce design was for sound reinforcment. Maybe a k-horn would be better choice for you. I never enjoyed my time with lascalas. You might want to research horn loading on audioasylum.... 
SET with inefficient speakers
Agree with Darkmoebius. Many of course not all of the SET posts that are - are coming from folks who expect SET to run most any loudspeaker. Sure some guy will post that his SET drives maggies or 80db 4 ohm BBC monitors. Sure they do music will co... 
What do you see as the downside of tubes?
Tholt, The mastersound amp he was thinking of buying was mine. And no he couldnt get enough cash up. Times are hard for many it seems. No worries though I love the se300b and its running as I type in my office system.

Suggestions for 'filling the port' of bass reflex
Want a bit less bass pull loudspeaker out from wall or corner. Why mess up the tuning your designer choise. And if you think its wrong sell the loudspeaker.
