| Missing the forest for the trees Michael Green and others have stated points that are all so true. Listening to music and enjoying the experience that is true to oneself is the optimal end. There is no shame in making a sound system the best it can be. Upgrading equipment, tweaki... | |
| Neil Young - Guitarist While I do like Neil Young's music I don't see anyone, especially Rolling Stone, ranking him in even the top 100 guitarists. There are many artists that accompany their singing with a guitar and many do it very well. Like Jackson Browne, Willie Ne... | |

| Sub Integration Thanks wtf,My system isn't quite the same as yours. I have two 10" Klipsch subs but one is sealed and one is front ported. That's why I considered plugging the ported one to bring the two closer in performance. Yes, I am using the ICBM in stereo s... | |
| Sub Integration yogiboy suggests that sealed and not ported subs are better for music and ported are better for for HT. My aim is for music. I have read opinions from others that this is true. Originally I had one sealed Klipsch sub. The second sub I added is als... | |
