| Improving bass from a front ported speaker The bass output has more to do with room and less with the speaker. Where they are, where you are, where the boundaries are all the important questions. I would start from scratch with speaker locations before anything else. My favorite is the Sum... | |
| CD Players: Stop breaking down I recommend the Oppo 103. Solid performer on its own and a great transport. Great company and great service. You can buy an extended warranty if it makes you feel better. Or as Elizabeth says go with a cheaper unit like the Sony SCD 595 changer fr... | |
