| Sub woofer naive question day Speaker level inputs on the subwoofer would be the best way to go. A lot of good subwoofers have speaker level inputs. | |
| Most recent concert Vietnam doesn't get much international music. Steve Vai and before that Jack White. Both excellent | |
| I found a way to get around tariffs that will raise the price of audio equipment. Enjoying what you have now is the easiest way to avoid the impact of the tariffs on the hifi part of the hobby. It won't doing anything to prevent the descent into authoritarian fascism though. | |
| Do You Unplug Equipment During Thunderstorms? When I lived in a free standing home in the country side, I often would unplug my gear. Now I live in a high-rise apartment tower with multiple lightning rods on the roof, so I don't bother. | |

| What's the weakest link in my stereo set up? I live in a townhome, so limited on space. @vrikkian to the side should be perfectly fine. Google "subwoofer crawl". Bass is somewhat omnidirectional so putting it between the main speakers is often not the best position for the room. | |
| What's the weakest link in my stereo set up? I live in a townhome, so limited on space. @vrikkian You can play with subwoofer placement since deep bass is somewhat omni-directional. I use a SB-2000 non-Pro along with Revel F208 mains in a high rise apartment tower and have never had any complaints. That said, I don't play music at ... | |
| Perhaps the most annoying myth in audio of 2025? Talking about Loudness! @jl35 is correct |
