Modestly priced bookshelf speakers for cabin.
You buy a powered sub that has high level ins ( speaker terminals ), which connects from the speaker outs of the toshiba just as it were a pair of speakers. In most set ups, the Toshiba would feed the sub, the sub then feeds the satellites, were i... 
I like my system flat, no tone controls, no eq..........what is your preference, and why.
Why are a few of you suggesting that I am stating tone controls or equalization is stupid ? I am just saying " for me ", at this time, not needed, not wanted, not necessary. But great we are all here. Thanks......Enjoy ! MrD.

As a Klipsch Heritage fanatic, I am not crazy about the low end Klipsch. I actually think the lower end Polks are much better, and are always on sale on ebay. If you want, you can also get a small powered sub to supplement the Bose. Considering yo... 
Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open.
Roger, this is a GREAT thread, thank you. I agree that all of the nasty comments and bickering should be kept out of this thread ( as well as all threads ). This thread is about learning, as I see it, and I am learning a great deal ( maybe underst...

Like I said, to each his own, no right or wrong. My powered subs do have eq controls, so I suppose I am not eq free. I have been reading about the Loki, and it does remind me of the 5 tone controls on the Mac preamps, of which I have owned several...

@douglas_schroeder I knew someone with your same name, when I managed that store, that came in often and he became an audio reviewer. I believe he worked for Sony in the R & D division. He told me I was wasting my time, and I needed to go out ...

@heardthat, I am really not preaching eq or tone shaping is bad, and if it appears that way, I apologize. I am making a point that for me, it does nothing. At this time anyway. I wanted some feedback from others, as I thought it would be an intere...

Thank you all for the feedback. Douglas Schroeder. Yes, I agree, as shown in some many products. Are you familiar, from the past, with an a/v store on 45th street, East side of Manhattan, called Grand Central Radio ?                               ... 
Dunlavy SC-IVas speaker grill reupholstering
Looks good ! I know the Dunlavy speakers were designed with low diffraction material on the front baffles and with grills on. Any difference in sq with the grills off ?, as I always preferred the grills off when listening. Enjoy ! MrD. 
Hornshoppe "the Truth" preamp - any opinions?
Not trying to stop the Truth party, believe me. I promise to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.... For my requirements, I purchased a Luminous Audio Axiom II, Walker Mod, 3 pr. rca in, 2 pr. rca out, with remote. Everything... 
Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord?
I believe Mark and Lynn will provide either product or refunds to those who have patiently waited. Mark, Lynn and their family suffered this past year with unfortunate health issues ( no joke ), and was unable to complete obligations, nor, properl... 
What will a preamp do for me?
To the OP, I will chime in....." Loud rock sounds flatter, less dynamic than I’d like ". Loud rock is not Thiel territory, and, with a tube amp ? Not to sound crude, but you have it all wrong. I am also a convert to passive, as I no longer want to...

This is not in a bad way. " First I'm not using this post to sell amplifiers, that is up to you. " Exposure, soft selling, putting the puppy in my arms. Genius ! All good. Love the thread ! Enjoy ! MrD.
