| What tests would you like all speaker reviewers to do for their reviews? @djones - thanks for the link! strange that stereophile doesn't publish something similar for their measurements... | |
| Dedicated power I did a 30a line, only one, and it's great. Don't worry about these people needling you for going big and don't use some flimsy transformer. Good wire, good outlets, good power cables, etc. Worth it. | |
