| Buying Used Speakers @paulcreed I watched the UNITED PULVERIZING SERVICE guy free drop my brand new Wharfedale 12.4 speakers off the truck onto the driveway, then flip them end-over-end up my second floor stairs... Lucky all that was broken was one of the floor stand... | |

| Dog pissed on speaker As an experiment I once took normal black plastic trash bags and slipped one each over my Reference 3A DeCapo I speakers (in response to WAF complaint). Could not hear any change in the sound, not one bit of difference. The plastic trash bags se... | |
