| Speaker recommendation I would think that a pair of mmgs + pair of 12" powered subs would go as loud and clear as needed if teh crossover is done in a manner that offloads most of teh bass below 50-60 hz or so to the subs.Do you know if that is how you have yours setup?... | |
| What speakers for 10k? "Anyone who tells you how something is going to sound just by looking at a spec sheet is full of it. "I would agree with that. However, a good engineer will know how to put those specs to best use in order to meet the goal. | |

| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... If it were me I'd go for the larger woofer and higher efficiency to best hedge my bet against clipping. Clipping is always public enemy # 1 of good sound. Its the kryptonite to the amps Superman. Goal # 1 should be to keep it out of the picture. T... | |

| Amp and preamp on same outlet? Jea,I will agree that sound quality usually benefits from proper power conditioning. There are many ways to achieve that effectively. Best approach will vary case by case. A dedicated circuit can introduce its own problems associated with groundin... | |
| Db Power Amp - is there a better ripper out there? I wipe the CD clean beforehand if any visible indication of smudge. It usually results in more reliable rip faster than otherwise if smudged to start. if a CD is not clean and/or defective, it can take many rereads for DBpwoeramp to confirm a good... | |
| Kanye West - Grammy comment, re Beck The flip side of the story is that wea are a much more diverse country these days and putting Beyonce and Beck in teh same category for any award shows how clueless the US music industry is in terms of how to deal with it effectively. Someone need... | |
