Magnepan 1.7s in a 10x13' dedicated room?
@Linesource- My present situation requires a listening room quite similar to yours(12 X 13). My listening tastes lean more to realistic SPLs, however. Even at lower listening levels; the room was easily overloaded by reverberation/slap echo, and s...

You still are trying to figure your power requirements on a linear scale. Did you even read the treatise I first mentioned? The first two paragraphs following the chart couldn't state it more clearly. Hopefully, Linesource will understand, and not...

To double the apparent loudness of a system by 2 times(10db) takes 10 times the power. 3db is about a 1.23 times increase in loudness and the increases are not linear, but- logarithmic. (http://www.cs.sfu.ca/~tamaras/digitalAudio/Linear_vs_logarit...

1/4'' ding / chip on a glossy black speaker
I've found a black Sharpie very valuable for hiding minor dings/scratches in black finishes too. The tough part, personally(being somewhat obsessive), is forgetting about it afterwards.

Not a problem, Zd! We're both trying to help the OP. Happy listening! 
1/4'' ding / chip on a glossy black speaker
Like I said, "Unless your cabinet is metal: forget about it!" That DOES allow for the possibility of the OP's cabinet being metal. In that case; he would have to have the entire cabinet stripped(sand blasted), as powder coatings cannot be touched ...

Enamels and epoxy paints can be applied to any other type of paint. Most enamels don't sand or rub out as nicely though(too soft). Lacquers have more aggressive thinners that will cause problems, if applied to other paint systems. Power coat? LOL!...

Quicksilver Gold contact enhancer
My Quicksilver has stayed fresh for over six years, thus far. The trick is sealing and keeping the small container airtight, with electrical tape, around it's circumference. I also keep my complete kit in a vacuum seal bag(air removed). These guys...
