Will line conditioner do anything for the other receptacle in a duplex?
If true then this tells me something about the Niagara 1200. Because there are things out there that work this way. Hate to say, this also means not only the second outlet in the duplex but all other outlets in the house. Good luck figuring that o...

Speaker Recommendation
You are right to question proto55, 40 watts and 90dB is nuts. What you want is more like 96-98, then you will be fine. Tekton Lore Reference is 96dB, 8ohms, and on sale now $825. https://tektondesign.com/product/full-range-speakers/mid-towers/lore...
