| Isoacoustics Orea vs Townshend Seismic Pod on Components It might be an Android. I don't know. Note mechanical is only one part of the energy going into walls, there is also acoustic energy. Main point I'm trying to get across is measured modes are not always entirely due to the shape of the room and ... | |

| Why Are People So Concerned About How Others Spend Their Money? Capitalism 101 is college level. These people flunked out of kindergarten lemonade stand. | |
| Basis Audio Fans Somehow I get the impression that you like Origin Live. Certainly a lot less expensive than Basis, and for some reason it has never gained traction? I wonder why?? The longer more complete answer is I think marketing. The truth is the be... | |

| Isoacoustics Orea vs Townshend Seismic Pod on Components Modes are calculated based on wave lengths and room dimensions. This is a gross simplification.

| When to Amp it Up? More power better? If the first watt isn't any good why would you want 200 more of them? Bi-amp? If the first amp isn't good enough don't add, replace. Pique peak, then than, watt's the difference? | |
| Mark Levinson & Others A better question is how was ML able to get a good reputation in the first place? And yes readily available used is a bad sign. | |
