| How much power needed to drive 91db speakers? @billstevenson "Ask yourself what is it you really seek to learn." I'm curious. Did you watch a lot of "Kung Fu" when you were younger? | |
| Unusual countries for audio gear @gano I appreciate the apology, but to say that Canadians have "no pressure to be outside" only underlines the stereotype you apply to Canada as a whole. I live in Vancouver. It is on the west coast, about 2 hours north of Seattle. 65% of Canad... | |

| Any thoughts about the RR-888 Weird and more than a little creepy. Not sure I would take the plunge, regardless of favourable reviews. If I want to alter my reality, I think I will stick with a nice red wine. | |
| Where is the bass on my B&W 802d speakers? @kofibaffour +1 Room EQ Wizard The first thing to do if you want to fix a problem, is to determine exactly what the problem is. | |

| Exceding recommended power rating @twangy57 "That’s what I thought as I have read quite a few people who own these say they routinely put 600 watts through them." Using speakers with a 600 watt amp, doesn’t mean you are putting 600 watts "through" the speaker. The only way you ... |
