| Dude, where's my bass? Oh, lost to stiffened rubber surrounds...who knew? +3 on Millersound.Bill listened to my speakers, and immediately felt the rubber surrounds hamstrung them.

| Speaker distance @geoffkait , "I would be remiss if I didn’t say that there’s an infinite number of speaker locations for a given room, so obviously the ye olde trial and error method can only get you so far. You can NEVER find the absolute best locations that way... | |

| Store auditioning and then buying on-line from others. How do you feel about it ? Of course, turning around to buy used is going to happen. But those are onesies and twosies kinds of things. It's really dealers getting their sales poached by other dealers that's a huge burden upon them.When I imported high-end audio component... | |
