| Aquariums and Audio Equipment Salt? You mean from splashing? Certainly evaporation that boosts humidity can be a good thing in the winter months, and siad vapor is indeed salt-free, so it's ok.If you put the tank at least a few feet behind the speaker plane you won't damage th... | |
| Are NHT VT2.4's harsh, or is it just me? Your ears are indeed accomodating throughout a listening session, ESPECIALLY if you listen at high SPLs. I was at Boston's Symphony Hall last Wenesday for an open rehearsal of the BSO with guest Andre Previn conducting the Ravel Left-Hand Piano Co... | |
