The conclusion I've reached about speakers
Speaker now or forever hold your peace (or piece). atmasphere Does have a point but there's fun to lob a few lines back at the old Kenjitster I think Kenjit’s spiritual center is derived from this Lewis Carrol poem. Speak roughly to your little b...

Power Conditioning / Surge Protection
Regardless of what you do have a whole house surge protector installed! Please. There are so many reasons to do so, too many to re-list here. I use an Audioquest Niagara and can’t hear any difference verses when the Amp is plugged into the wall. A...
