| Things we cannot be bothered by anymore I can't be bothered reading this post anymore.... Oh wait, damn I just read the whole thing. EDIT: I can't be bothered with weather or not I contradict myself. I'll just open my mouth. Maybe my contradictions will start a meaningful conversation. | |
| Dual Sub-woofers paired into two sets of speakers - connection option. Thanks to all. @audiorusty Thank you for that. I’m now feeling more like this experiment is not going to yield any appreciable gain. To that, I did hook up one set of speakers (speaker A) from the speaker binding posts to each sub and did not hea... | |
