| Upgrading Speaker Components Yes, it is necessary to change the crossover. The best way of upgrading the crossover is to replace the parts with the same values but higher quality. BUT this will not NECESSARILY make them sound better. I am facing the same question and it is no... | |
| Accuphase or Musical fidelity for Focal Micro Be I would not worry that the M3 is ten years old. It is actually the newest amp I have. Yes , 10 years is a long time for digital players.

| Help: Speakers to fill Exceptionallly Large Room? A Fischer table radio to be exact. They had a famous law suit the went the the US Supreme Court over Consumers Report's description of their sound.

| How to isolate bookshelf speakers on a bookshelf Go to a place that sells foam rubber mattresses and get some pieces of scrap foam. They should be cheap/free. Put them under the speakers and see if it helps. If it does you can use them or pursue a higher tech solution along same lines. Have you ... | |
| LP12 suspension susceptible to acoustic feedback Have you considered just getting a wall shelf? I don't think the marble and glass are a good idea and I would try it without them. I suspect that they are reflecting back the energy when you tap the table. You would be better off with a support th... | |
| planter bass traps by Real Traps My bad, mine are the READY traps, not the Real traps. From Ready Acoustics. Check these out too, I imagine either would do a good job. | |
| planter bass traps by Real Traps Yes, they work very well and my wife likes the way they look. Easy to install also. Really improved the sound and the price is good. No connection with the company except that I am now using 9 of their panels. Two bass traps and 5 on back wall and... | |
