Mcintosh - Love Em' or Hate Em' ......Why?
Their car amps are very good. Actually that is what popped in my head when I read the title to this thread. I was not haapy when my CA dealer stopped carrying Mac. Cited the reason as Mac not being hip or cheap enough for the kiddies. I am not as ...

Can you help or do I have to get divorced?

Inexpensive Amp and Speakers
Hey, I am with you. NIN is a personal fave. It is not that your room is too small, what struck me was that two of the dimensions were the same (15'). You may want to do some research on room demension and bass and the integration of a sub with mon... 
Inexpensive Amp and Speakers

Thanks, I was always a little curious how the big ticket exchanges go down. 
What can the front baffle for spkrs be made from?
Paul Hales used concrete for the front baffles for his earlier speakers. He later switched to 4" MDF (at least for the revelations, not sure about transcendence), which, and i think i remeber this accurately, was reported to have the same or simil...

Sounds like it's broken to me. A relay, maybe? Time to contact the proper authorities. 
Need advice in coming out from the analog dead
I think there are way too many combo's for anyone here to give adequate suggestions. Nice stereos can be suggested, but it is a craps shoot for you. An easier approach would be for you to audition and find a speaker that grabs you, and then ask fo...
