Small Speakers For A Large Room...
Don't know if 4' is too tall for you, but Zu might still have available the Definition 3 right in your price range. Very efficient, will fill a large room no problem, and only takes up one square foot of floor space. Has built in subs so no need f... 
Aluminum Foil test for Audio Desk Vinyl Cleaner
Had the 16.5, have the Audio Desk now and I'll never look back. I thought the record noise was at a minimum before, even (much) better now! Ad to that just putting a record in and coming back 5-8 minutes later to a completely clean and dried recor... 
Zu Druid & Definition Roundup
Just when I thought I had my Def 4's dialed in, I just lowered the low pass filter to 30 and volume at 4. OMG, the bass is still there, but now you can't tell where it's coming from. Before, you knew it was at the speakers. Just saying, keep playing. 
a crazy free audiophile tweak
It might be easier to just move your speakers so one is facing each ear. You know, like your head is the meat of a sandwich. 
Why do some audiophiles beat up McIntosh?
Nothing against McIntosh here. Had a MD7007 CD player that sounded pretty darn good, and I have an MR 78 tuner that sounds exceptional. Harley's underperform? I think not. What are you comparing them to, crotch rockets? I don't think Harley owners... 
Khorn room size
Congratulations on your find. Can't say about your size room, but I had mine in a room almost twice as big, and 6 watts of power filled the room without breaking a sweat. Hey, if it doesn't work out you can always turn around and unload them witho...

Sounds like they want to get rid of the garage sale stuff. 
What is your most beautiful component?
I'm a sucker for vintage so I'll say my Technics R2R and my McIntosh 78 tuner.

Agree, leave the amps on. Except during a lightning storm or extended absence. 
Zu Druid & Definition Roundup
Charles1dad,I had the PX25 myself with both the Def 3, & now the Def 4 and can verify that the amp ran out of steam at concert level volumes (with rock type music anyway). I would say my room is sort of on the large side with vaulted ceilings.... 
Can we increase dynamics?
Be careful of your settings If you end up with a DBX Dynamic Range Expander. I had one years ago and it took out a woofer on a pair of JBL's I had. 
Nakamichi ZX-7 Cassette Deck - - - Dubbing Problem
3rd on Willy Herman. He knows Nak decks inside out. 
The issue of lowballing... What does that mean?
Simple. The seller doesn't want to sell for a bargain price and doesn't want to deal with lowballers. So why don't you just respect his wishes and just move on. 
How to protect against burglary
"Smith and Wesson etc type signs motivate, not discorage, thiefs."IMO, I don't think so. Thief's generally don't want confrontation. They want an easy, quick steal.Just make up some phony alarm signs and attach them to the front of your house. 
ZU CAMPFIRE CHOW DOWN
You're not trying to get out of treating me to dinner are you (McDonalds, remember)? LOLI actually haven't hooked it into my Zu's yet. I have it on my "must do" list, before my son takes it away. I think I read somewhere that you can feed these De...
