| AGI 511A Preamplifier I think Sean had one that he modified to good effect. | |

| Are reviewers biased towards equipment they own? Let us not forget that reviewers typically are given "accomodation" pricing unlike the rest of us poor slobs. This of course further erodes credibility if it existed at all in the first place. Richard Hardesty speaks well to this. Just my .02. | |
| Review: AMC CVT1030s Tube preamp 150 mV in, 1V out = ~16.5 dB gain. | |
| Passive biamplification questions You're still sending full range signal to woofer and tweeter. Better to crossover Actively with an inexpensive Behringer, or better yet a Rane. More work but an order of magnitude in improvement. | |
| How do you listen your system? Front, mid or back Many spkrs do not gel at less than eight feet, it's all in the design. Some say if you're not in the concert hall, it's All NF! | |

| Echo Muffs I recall that they were effective but only down to 200 Hz, and many problems lie below that range. But not to discount your use of these. If it sounds good, wear it! Echobusters may be a good source for this type of product. RPG, too. | |
