Ok I tested polarity and everything is ok. Is it normal, even at say high 80’s dbs for the woofer to be barely moving?

My ceiling is 10’ high. All speakers are working. As for the battery test I’m a little unclear as to your directionsi could reverse one speaker connections to see if the bass improves, but assuming for the moment the highs are wired correctly and ...

Hey guys. I’ve been struggling with getting decent lower mids and mid bass with my 2.4s. It always seems tilted towards the highs, as if the bass control was set to -6 dbs. They are in a 16 x 21 room on the long wall about 3’ off the front wall to... 
TUBE or SS PATHS
Who says high end audio is only about trying to “faithfully reproduce and amplify the input signal”?i think high end audio is to reproduce a sound that makes you connect with the music to the greatest extent.  There are many roads to there.  
Ceiling fan in listening room?
What you want is a VRF ( variable refrigerant flow) Mitsubishi unit. Itsa cassette unit that mounts on your wall. No ductwork required. Dead silent and the condenser can be located up to 1000 feet away.

 I ended up running by a hobby store tonight and picking up 500,000 weight silicone and added it to the queuing arm, all as well!

So I purchased the correct probes to set the bias, the kind that extend out from a long insulated sleeve and can lock into the small capacitor legs. I had AR email me the instructions. One thing I’d like some input on is there appears to be only o... 
What Sonically is the Difference between a $1,500 CD Player and a $10K-$25K One?
I don’t really have any mega bucket equipment, I simply can’t afford it. But like anything in life it’s in the details and this is what you’re paying for.  Generally.  For me it’s akin to looking up at the night sky on a full moon night. An inexpe...

No biggie. I found many videos and write ups explaining safe ways to do it. It’s not too complicated.

If I wanted to discharge the current caps, is it simply done by leaving the music on, turning off the amp, and waiting for the music to fade out until there is zero sound? Then unplug the system. Or is there still residual voltage in the caps?
