How can I start to change the system?
Do the room first if you haven't already. What you'd spend many thousands on in components can probably be done for hundreds if you haven't done room treatments yet.You can mak the system anyway you want with reflective / absorbtive panels and bas... 
What is the lifespan of a good SS Amp

New home - shoulda woulda coulda's

What time do you wear?
Thorton – The misquotation thing is starting to render this thread a bit juvenile, but OK, I’ll bite one final time.I didn’t say ACCURACY was the ONLY thing that makes up value – check again - one last time –“I said my opinion was that PERFO... 
What time do you wear?
Brian – Maybe I’d take your admonition more seriously if you didn’t appear so officious yourself in your addressing and correcting “us” in your posts – along with your freedom to use presumption and assumption when convenient in addressing m...
