| “Real” bass vs. “Boom” — how do you know which? Yeah, its all "real", the question is how much is the right amount?"Beyond the Missouri Sky" by Haden and MEthany is another recording that represents a special challenge. If the bass playing on this one comes in clear and defined throughout (no "... | |
| Who's your guitar daddy now? "JM has a LONG way to go before being considered "guitar daddy"Is he even old enough to be a "daddy"? | |
| “Real” bass vs. “Boom” — how do you know which? Headphones as a reference is a great idea! | |
| “Real” bass vs. “Boom” — how do you know which? Reb,Wood floors can be tricky with the ports on the 100s located on the bottom. I've had Walsh 2s (older driver, same size) in rooms very similar in size and layout to yours in prior residences.Try loosely plugging the ports on the bottom by rolli... | |
| How is it ? that a tuner smokes the table ??? Well, surely no tuner can sound better than the table or CD used at the station to playback whatever is being broadcast, can it? | |

| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Rebbe, yes that ELP recording is a good one, one of the best I think in that genre.I noticed John S. had only one other posting and it was today also, so I'm guessing he's a new active poster here. | |
| Who's your guitar daddy now? "Atkins couldn't play an ugly sound even if tortured to do so."That's a great line! I'd have to agree with that!I think he was the first guitar player I took notice of on records when I was a kid and he set a high standard | |
| After some upgrades, where is the weak link I don't see any weak links.Looks like your in minor tweak/tuning territory at worst to me.A tube in the source might be a tweak that could soften the digital source up a bit perhaps if needed. | |
| Monitors on Short Stands Yes.Doesn't work well with more directional drivers like many tweeters, etc.Works better with more wide dispersion designs. It can help get more bass out of a smaller box when it does. | |

| "Watts" Versus "Current" Good stuff. | |
