| How expensive are best NOS tubes ? And how difficult to find ? Not all NOS tubes are expensive. And IME, with the few tube pieces I have, I’ve found that high priced NOS tubes don’t necessarily equate to best performance. As usual with audio gear: it depends. For example, I had an expensive pair of NOS tubes ... | |
| New and searching 4. don't worry about a square room since you have an open floor plan Ugh. I agree with this. Sorry, forgot it was an open floor plan while writing my response. | |
| New and searching Starting out can be overwhelming. While not sexy or fun, if your room has no treatments at all some basic treatments can provide a great return on your investment. I suggest contacting a company (such as GIK Acoustics, for example) and discuss you... | |

First time was for several months when we put our home up for sale. Boxed it all up and put in storage so as not to offend any potential buyers' delicate sensib... | |
| Subwoofer failings and their use-related reasons I've owned my pair of ACI Titan subs (12" driver; plate amp) for many years, continuously powered on, and have not had any issues (knock on wood). However: I am no bass freak, their freq. response are set with intent of being flat; I don't use the... | |
| How important is component “aesthetics” to you? Not at all. I would run a pair of paper plates as speaker drivers connected to a potato as an amplifier if it sounded better than my current gear. Although I admit I haven't yet tried that combination. | |
| Lee Morgan Documentary Awesome! Thank you for the heads up on this Mitch4t! Will watch for it. | |
| Zu def 4 are they the best speaker made? Answer to original post: No. My opinion (with my ears, brain, etc.), of course. | |
