Help me set up my new (to me) Dunlavy V's
There's definitely differences between speakers, but very few in terms of the process in getting them set up, which basically boils down to trying lots of different setups and going with the one you feel is the best trade-off. The method I learn... 
Does anyone collect something else other than music.
I don't collect. I accumulate. 
Sub for stereo receiver?
1. One guy told me I can run cables from a sub into the speaker terminals along with my main speakers.Some subs can be connected this way.2. Another guy said just run cables from the sub into a Pre Out jack.This is best. Your receiver has 2 pre-o...

Will upgrading Umbilical cord power supply to preamp improve sonics
Cables everywhere else make improvements for me through out my system. Indeed. My experience has been every inch matters, and I mean all the way back to the panel, and beyond. How much, and at what cost? There's the rub. 
Is room treatment a science?
That Geddes book is a gold mine! If only I had known- and it had come out a dozen years earlier! Lol!  Oh well at least I got the solid wood exterior door with weather seal!!

Ahh... Well there was nothing vague. And the assertion was never made. But "in the spirit of goodwill" it'll do. 
Why do you guys pursue a flat frequency response when you buy a subwoofer?
There's always a different way to reply. Could be he was so enamored with the alliteration and proud of coming up with Miller's myth he just had to use it even though it had nothing to do with anything I'd said. Could have asked about that a lot o...
