| NEW Tekton Design Speakers - The Bonnevilles I actually like their industrial, pro sound reinforcement look. I have no idea how they sound. They are big, but they are certainly no uglier than any number of Wilson designs. | |
| Audiophiles and De-cluttering -- your journey toward both psychic and sonic improvement There are really good soundbars out there. They won't equal the better 7.2 and above dedicated systems, but they are so much easier to use, take up less space and cost significantly less. HDMI, wireless surrounds and subs are a gift from the Gods. | |

| A question about trim rings around speaker drivers It's worth doing, but be careful not to over tighten. You can also check the loudspeaker's binding posts. They to can come loose. It cost you nothing to inspect. | |
| For those who miss Geoff I use four Room Tunes. Two in corners and two to attenuate sidewall reflections. They have to be thirty years old. | |

| Tweaking Your Speaker Placement An 1/8 of an inch -- does that mean you have to keep your head in a vice? Such precise placement of loudspeaker and listener should not effect tonality or dynamics, but it might provide some soundstage/imaging info on some specific recordings. P... | |
| Can you damage your speakers by plugging bass port vent? Wasn't there a "Macgyver" episode where he did that and improvised a bomb explosion? I'd have my Swiss Army knife ready. | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato These are four singer/songwriters/guitarist who have been doing it at a high level for decades: Dave Alvin, Janis Ian, Richard Thompson and Joan Armatrading.
