| What are the limits of room correction/ treatments ? Took some Owens Corning 703 from GIK and started placing different thickness traps in various places. Bought around 24 sheets so was able to go as thick as a foot so far. When I found success I ordered a trap of that thickness from GIK. Working ou... | |

| Polarity of speaker drivers Having jumped into a two channel system head first I took the advice of some very experienced audio experts and went with what I felt were the speakers with the fewest crossover/phase issues that would deliver the audio signal across the entire fr... | |
| Happiness achieved For all the back and forth on subs it seems to me that the most likely lacking quality of full range speakers lies in the inability to get the bass right. The cabinet and it's resonances, the crossover and it's intermodulation distortion, not to m... | |

| RMAF 2016................Boenicke W5 I really need to get out more. There are so many speakers/products that I would love to hear. Being out of the hobby for so many years before deciding to put together a system I have missed the evolution of music reproduction. The Boenicke W5 seem... | |
| RMAF 2016................Boenicke W5 The surprise factor of an ultra small speaker talking big can be and probably is an element in the wow factor experienced by the OP. Admittedly, to get some great timbre and believable music from such a small package is quite remarkable. The price... | |
| THE WALL---Why? terry9,Have a BPT 3.5 Sig+ for my front end. Changed things substantially for the better. My 60 Watt mono blocks are across the room, into the wall. I'm sold on balanced power but what capacity do I need for the amps? My speakers are high efficien... | |

| Tube for a Noob ??? I would think it impossible to match CD/Music server quality for less that 5-6 K. IMO and coming from a person who is all tube/vinyl for the most part, that CD player I have comes close. It's only drawback is the vinyl solves the listener fatigue ... |
