| Not Sure If This Is OK Here, But Here Goes I am suspicious as a general rule. But in this scenario, as long as you are being paid securely up front, and provide no personal info, it's on him to get your speakers shipped securely for the final leg of the transit. | |
| How do you know when a stereo sounds good? "How do you determine that you enjoy listening to music through your stereo?" How do I know when I am enjoying anything? Let me start by checking my pulse to see if I'm alive. Geez, I am not a therapist. | |

| Two surprising things I found that improved my imaging and staging... Since I moved from a 1200 sq ft listening space in NYC to a 550 sq ft listening space in The Hudson River Valley, my speakers give me the greatest natural balance, detail and spaciousness when pointed straight out, not toed in, and when making the... | |
