| Replacing driver screws with brass screws OP if it's the same density, sending a controlled tone you can hear the difference. This is just in stereo.. You can use just a tube and put it to your ear over the securements. Hit the tone, and listen... Tighten for a higher pitch...., Try not ... | |

| What speaker has the best high frequencies? Magnepan 3.7 WOW I forgot about that speaker. That is a really good speaker. I heard the 3.7i with Mac C50 and SS MC601s (I think). He was selling the C50. I was really impressed. Did't buy the C50, sure was tempted to make an offer on the MG... | |

The comps at the time were Bose 901, Infinity, had a few cool ones to choose from. AR (not much info on them) But very popula... | |

| Tin Foil Hat Audio nonoise6,116 posts08-08-2020 2:59pmI think we give too much credence to naysayers. It's been my experience they're not really that credible. You hit the nail right on the head. Why do I find myself looking for what's wrong, other than what's r... | |
