Proac tweeter issue
Pbnaudio, I can assure you I am 100% anti-snake oil. You are correct about snake oil being rampant in the industry. I was recently reminded of the guy that could improve the sound of your system through the phone. I also remember the Kinergetics K... 
Proac tweeter issue
Pbnaudio, I did not suggest that at all. It is something you managed to create in your own mind. This is exactly why I love to see commercial users here. You think you know more than the rest of us lowly members.The fact is the original ProAc twee... 
More power for better sound at low volumes?
A good set of headphones is your answer.

Watch the bass. 
Proac tweeter issue
You can buy the correct ProAc tweeter foam from Modern Audio the ProAc Distributor. They usually have them in stock. BTW, they aren't just there for looks. 
Speaker cables for 4 ohm speakers
"I am using a Coda CSi Integrated amp that has a pushed bias of 45w class A to about 600 watts 4ohm rating."Can somebody tell me what this means? 
ADS L810 speaker terminals
Are you sure the sound is cutting out because of the speaker wire connection? Is your wire the correct gauge for the connector? Keep in mind, by changing the connector you will change the sound and it may not be for the better. 
Can any one help identify my speakers

Can any one help identify my speakers
Mechans, The lens you mentioned is for improved horizontal dispersion of the midrange driver and the slot tweeter is actually acrylic, not glass. These drivers are typical of JBL's 1970s products. Also, the OP's speakers look nothing like JBL Aqua... 
Please help a noob
If you want some advice check out Von Schweikert VR-1 monitor speakers and a Marantz PM8004 integrated amplifier. The VR-1s are lively easy to drive speakers with excellent bass and the Marantz is the best sounding 70 watt integrated amp for $1000... 
Can any one help identify my speakers
It doesn't resemble Bose at all. It looks like a kit using L300 components in a homemade cabinet. JBL offered separate components with crossovers and specifications for cabinet designs. Many people took advantage of this because it cost less to bu... 
Safest way to trade ?
Onhwy61, I guess it depends on what you are selling. If I am selling an expensive item, especially tube equipment, I am willing to send it in for inspected. It helps the buyer know what he is buying and it relieves me of liability. It's a small pr... 
Safest way to trade ?
I would have the preamp sent to Audio Research for inspection. When Audio Research tells me the preamp is ok I would send payment. I have done this in the past and it works out well for both buyer and seller. 
Ideas for Krell-ish sound, but less heat?
Slikric3000, Bose is more of a tube sound than a Krell sound.
