| Purchase breaks well within 30 days It is a real bummer when this happens (breaks soon after receiving it). I think you are lucky that it will be repaired, no charge.If I were the seller, completely unaware of any problems, sold it. I would not accept a return. Simply because it wor... | |
| Monoblock setup inquiry Are there any audiophile friends in your area? Might be best to have them take a look and offer options. It's not difficult, but better to have someone with experience to help you out as you set things up. | |

| Think fast: What would you take? there is no METHodto this madness...especially as we appreciate the lack of wind ( high winds caused the fire to rage last week) but what is needed to blow the smoke out. Typical humanoids, we want it all! | |
| Think fast: What would you take? Threat of fire in Portland is manageable. We are safe. It is extremely smoky, making an eerie scene in Portland where any sunny day would bring families out of their homes to enjoy the nice weather. But, the streets are empty. Reports of “worse ai... | |
