| What's up with lousy bass on classic rock recordings? @gosta thanks I will check it out | |
| Something other than Harbeth SHL5 stereo5 maybe cause the next/top of the line 40.2’s are $22K vs $8K for the HL5 I feel like I have to play the SHL5s loud to make them come alive. I auditioned the 30.2 XD and the newest HL5s and went with the 30.2’s and 2 REL T/9x subs. I fe... | |

Click on the down arrow next to your user name (top right) click edit account (2nd to last in the drop down) Click on the down arrow next to your user name again and select My Virtual Systems - from there you should be ab... | |
