| Ultimate test of your system image I can go the 10$ Sounds like a kick. I still remember the ping-pong recordings that came out when stereo was new. | |
| Speaker Help Required Same problem, compounded by Magnepan dipole issue! My room even tosses in a few 45'angles! WAF Institute approved panels are on tap. With the sub x-over at 45hz, i don't think that's an issue and I have yet to detect bass problems....so for now, I... | |
