Has anyone considered rebuying a speaker you once owned??
Thank you to all who responded.  Every response is interesting informative, and confirms I am not nuts.Of all the replies, I think member "Prof"  hits the nail on the head several times. Many of us including myself are driven by that desire to NOT...

What commerical audio system tweaks provide sound quality improvement??
Thanks to all who have responded since I advocated for safety. To toddverrone, Good point, that is what I thought that a few inches in height would not make that much difference. I could even try those 2"x 2" squares that have a cork center and ha...
