| Replacing Blown Meadowlark Blue Heron 2 Tweeter The tweeter is just stuck because its been in the same spot for years. Get a couple of really small allen/hex wrenches. Put the short ends of the allen wrenches in 2 screw holes opposite each other. Straighten the allen keys out so they are pointi... | |

| Atlantic City casinos closing... "07-17-14: GoldeneraguyI am an Atlantic City High School Alum.Pre the Gambling Era.By 1960 A/C no longer had anything to offer.It has even less now"Not true at all. In AC they can serve alcohol until 6am. Its 2am for the rest of NJ and PA. | |
| Cleaning lady and vacuum Get one of those electric shock collars that they put on dogs. If the dog goes past the perimeter you set up, it gets a nasty shock. Just put one of those collars on the maid and set it up so shock if she gets to close to the speakers. | |
| Magnepan 1.7s in a 10x13' dedicated room? I don't know why, buy I liked the MG12's better than the 1.7's. I know most people would rather have the bigger one, but if you really like the Magnepan sound, the 12 may be better than another type of speaker that wouldn't be your first choice. I... | |
| $10K or less speakers for 20x20 rm with open back "07-16-14: SeanileSo far it's pretty close between the Focal 1038be and the Aerial 7T. Going to listen to Revel Studio 2's on Friday. Hopefully after that I will be able to make a decision. Then comes the fun of picking an integrated amp and figur... | |
| Transparent Cables and Bi-wiring to Vandersteens "I appreciate others' testing and experiences more than opinions. Who has compared Transparent speaker wire to other brands? Who has experimented with their bi-cables and bi-wiring? What other brands would be on the same level as Reference MM2 and... | |
| Price for NEW set of Revel Ultima Salon 2 Unless its an audio store going out of business, that's a pretty odd find. If they don't let you look inside the boxes and check the speakers out, I would bid very low. At the very least, the serial numbers are probably printed on the outside of t... | |
| Headphone amps with remote volume controls The Oppo looks like a decent choice, but you would be paying for a DAC your don't need. For me, the deciding factor would be whether it digitizes the analog inputs. I'm not sure if it does. You would be giving up the dac in your Ayre and running y... | |
| Atlantic City casinos closing... "Now that working for a living doesn't cut it anymore the sure way to realize the American dream was buying that lotto ticket, going to the nearest casino, or driving slowly by that all night 7/11 wondering if you have it in you for that quick sma... | |
| Hales transcendence 8 tweeters Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't see how this can work unless you get very lucky. The speaker was designed with the original tweeter. There's a lot of variables to consider. The new tweeter may be more, or less sensitive, which would alter volume and ... | |
| Most overrated audio manufacturers? "07-15-14: PlasmatechI would have preferred a more focused question of which manufacturers over-promise and under-deliver, and cite at least two instances of this occuring."Its an interresting question, but how do you define over-promise and under... | |
| Breaking in Integrated amp with DAC You need to play music (or whatever - i use white noise), to break it in. Also, unless its tube or class a, you should probably leave it on all the time. They usually say in the manual if leaving it on is OK. If not, ask the company just to be safe. | |
