| Sealing ported enclosure to reduce boom "Sealing" the port is a bad idea. The drivers and crossover were designed to work with the port open, at least to some degree. The suggestions to play with positioning away from boundaries and partially blocking the port with foam or even a sock a... | |
| Buzz/hum from amps, NOT from speakers Did you ever fix your problem? Were you able to determine anything regarding the Belkin Power conditioner's performance beyond not being able to fix your specific problem - i.e. any positive or negative effects on the overall sound of your system?... | |
| Line Conditioner:To plug or not to plug Big Amp in Peter, very nice system. Great power cord solution, eliminating all but connection to breaker and one IEC connector. Talk about minimalist approach. | |
