| Do I need a subwoofer? The B&Ws will be doing most of the work for the bass you like to hear but subs will fill in that lower frequency weight that subs do well. Stereo subs facing forward are the way to go if you don't want to spend the money on a set of woofer tow... | |
| RCA Splitter to convert a single RCA output into two 90-degree coax connectors are not a good thing. Better is a sweep corner. A "Y" cable will work fine and they are very affordable, but you have lots of buying choices. | |
| Passive vs Active...Again! russ69 +1 now that's funny! :-) Not really. If loudspeakers don't sound good in the most likely environment they will be in, the designer failed. That is not to say the environment can't be improved with treatments. | |

| Soundsmith Strain Gauge Dang...even for MC that was a wall of text. I had a Win-Labs strain gauge back in the day, a weeks salary at the time. A Dynavector high output moving coil bested it for about the same amount of money. | |
| Band Member Changes Over Time Pink Floyd: This was not so much a replacement but a missing member when Rodger decided to move on. The real missing member is Syd Barret (he smoked his brain on LSD). | |
| Would you sell for cash? LOL, OP doesn't want cash. Do you know how many businesses are cash based businesses? Lots. I pay everything in cash that I can. Everybody loves cash. | |
| Tannoy Stirlings on the way! ....is obligated to provide all its citizens with Westministers. Who is with me?? Hear! Hear! | |
| yamaha cr-800 FM Mute eliminates inter-station tuning noise and only allows strong and clear stations to emerge from the silent background. It's possible that the muting doesn't work, or the switch is broken but the tuner will work fine in wide band mode so ... |
