a Power vs Volume Question
Actually, if your speakers' sensitivity are 85db/1W/1M, then, of course with 1 watt of power at 1meter, you'r SPL will be 85db. Since you'd need to double your power to increase your SPL by 3db, you'd need 536,870,912 watts to double your volume t...

While I think this article hits ONE nail on the head, I think there are many more nails holding this hobby together. I can think of a few reasons why someone might buy a $7,200 pair of speaker cables: 1) Some people just have more money than they ...

Klipsch Speakers for a low power tube amp.

What do you think about this statement
Yeah, great idea. Invite him over, slip into something comfortable, poor some drinks and dim the lights. Then, put on the Barry White.Yeeeha. 
Mono blocks are better or Stereo power amp?
For "trance/techno" music; no difference. 
What do you think about this statement
So, if I said I prefer an all JVC/Bose system to an VAC/Von Schweikert system, y'all would just chaulk that up to personal preferences?If someone said that to me, I would be thinking; they must have a tin ear. Because, the VAC/VSA combo is clearly...
