| Front Ported v. Rear Ported Speakers Thanks Rockadanny for sharing your experience. I think I might give it a try and play around with plugging the ports. I think I'm also going to purchase a couple room treatment panels and play around with them too. | |
| Front Ported v. Rear Ported Speakers If I plug the ports on a ported speaker, will that change the sound characteristics to be more like that of a sealed box? Or is it not advisable because of all the other design considerations, i.e. cabinet shape, crossover, woofer attachment and e... | |
| What music do you use to assess your system? Dave Grusin's Two For The Road. Not only is it enjoyable to listen to, but it contains exposed portions which really make it easier to judge a system; female vocals, piano, brass, percussion, and bass. | |
| Good speakers to be placed close to rear wall What about the following alternative? Is it a realistic solution?*look for the best speaker I can afford and use in combination with a sub*if rear ported, plug the port*place the speaker as close as necessaryI'm wondering if the sound characterist... | |
| Good speakers to be placed close to rear wall I too have been looking for front ported or sealed speakers which I can place close to the wall. The main difference for me when compared to the OP is that my budget is closer to the $1K-$1.5K. My short list right now includes the Focal Chorus 706... | |
| Suggestions short 3' tall floorstander? How far away from the wall will you be placing these speakers? Front / rear port on the speakers could be a significant factor. | |

If you are in the 'business' of selling (gears or anything else), then you should already be registered with your state and ha... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD I had the 4th, 5th and 6th symphonies of Tchaikovsky on CD by DG. One of the pieces (I confess that I can't remember which one now) sounded like the trumpets were recorded in a studio and poorly mixed in. It just sounded unnatural and improperly b... | |
| Legacy audio classics Only YOU can determine what "classic" means to you. | |
| It's all over now, baby blue. Or is it not? I've really enjoyed reading the responses. I too have children and have chosen not to move my rig. Aside from safety issues (securing equipment so that it can't fall over) I wouldn't change anything.Interestingly, the marks and scratches on my spe... | |

| As I look at all these posts Calloway, I don't think any one here is arguing that it is wrong to make a profit on cables. I think Mulveling says it best. | |
| As I look at all these posts Elizabeth, should you start your own cable company, please let me know. I would like to purchase some of your cables. | |
| What should I be auditioning? If I were auditioning speakers right now, I would certainly give the new Ultras by SVS a listen. Free in home trial for 45 days and free shipping both ways. Really don't have anything to lose.And, if you don't have a sub yet, pick one up while you... |
