| High Pitched Frequency From Speakers, tried everything - - - Driving me crazy, help! @mijostyn Thanks, unfortunately my DAC does not have a volume control. I could possibly connect a laptop to it and monitor the output volume of that, but not sure how safe that is for the amp/speakers? | |

| Need more slam! Help! Thank you everyone for your replies. It seems so far consensus is adding a sub. I’m not opposed to that, and I’ll ask more questions down the line. I guess I’m curious what folks think about the amount of power I’m giving the vandersteens and if m... | |
