Dec 18, 2009	Sub blowing Christmas lights? Hello,It is not the sub doing it most likely as it is simply the amount of load (in Amperes of current) on that particular circuit. Plug less stuff, whatever it may be, into that circuit and use others that are less loaded down already if possible...

Maggies have very low voltage sensitivity, somewhere around 85dB or so based on the model, so they require high wattage or at least cu...
Dec 18, 2009	best monitor speaker under $2000 Try right here on Audiogon for a used pair of Usher Be-718's with stands if possible. I have seen them as low as $1200 or maybe around $1400 or so depending on condition, age, and finish color. If no stands, try them at partsexpress.com and get th...
