Aggrivated tinnitus from speakers?
@daveteauk - totally agree with you, but I gave up on being frustrated or irritated by it a long time ago; it will never get better.   
Nowhere to hear speakers and amps anymore!
@qwaszxxx - there is that about Audiovision, but the $250 charge will minimize people wanting to waste their time and effort setting things up but who have no intention of buying anything, so I'll cut 'em slack there. I paid the $250 fee but I kn...
