| Does port location make a significant difference with regard to speaker placement? I have another question that may fit into this post.... Have a pair of PSB Imagine B stand mounts (rear ported to enhance bass). They are placed about 3 feet from the wall. I do not need the "enhanced bass" since I am using 2 subs for that. Q... | |

| Turntable isolation platform Recommendations? One thing hardly mentioned here is the construction of the dwelling where your system exists.

| When Everything Comes Together Obviously, responses from those living in weed legal states. But, there is a lot to be said about listening experiences. Mood plays a big part. Whether it's a nice drink, a good smoke, or just a quiet time, mood is the factor when you've listen... | |
| Recommended cheaper vintage SS Integrated Amps? While not truly vintage and not an integrated but a receiver, I have a Harmon Kardon HK 3480. Am the original owner.
