Separate conductors for separate frequency ranges in cables
Many (including AQ) claim that skin effect is audible in audio. Perhaps because of that they use hollow conductor for the tweeter, In my opinion it would be sufficient to use wire gauge 18 (100% skin depth at 20kHz in copper), but there might be s... 
Hum!
If your amp has ground plug it means it was designed to have it. DO NOT use cheater plug or cut ground wire - it is dangerous. It might be ground loop or something injecting noise, but it can also be filtering caps in power supply getting old (dry... 
The awful truth about CDs, do they have the same shelve life as LP's ?
Hard drives fail fast (in comparison) and the new solid state drives are no better and some worse than the spinning platter.Backup drives, that are not in use (unpowered), almost never fail. I keep two backups (drives are cheap), in addition to ma...

Have you tried to rip them?  Perhaps it is possible to recover them.Sometimes the issue is the sun shinning on particular place on CD rack.   
Need Help Ripping My CD Collection

A speaker that looks like a driver or a driver that looks like a speaker?
OP said he was "presenting" to us NoLimits speakers, followed by the link to his website. That’s advertising. He doesn’t need our opinion to modify anything since it is final product. If he cannot see how improper it is, then perhaps administrator...

Be real - even your last post sounds like advertising. In addition you called tpreaves comment "rude", when he expressed his opinion.I only hope it was your last post here.

Not only, that this product is plain UGLY, but two other products from this company (Bouquet and Firebird) are much worse. I wouldn’t put any of them in my living room - even if they cost $0.I also believe that commercial advertising on this forum...

Thank you Al. So this huge magnet and membrane on the back is for this 11" opening?Also, max power rated for this speaker is only 150W. 
A speaker that looks like a driver or a driver that looks like a speaker?
I’m confused. "About Product" describes woofers as 280mm, far less than 4 feet. Midrange is described as 124mm but they appear to be 1/4 of the woofer diameter.
