Seeking speakers under $3K for 10x12 ft room and driven by 20wpc tube amp
chenry OP is planning for a small 6’ listening triangle, that might be a bit close to that model JBL. He mentioned a new Black Ice integrated tube amp, I presume, like me, tube heat in small room, a low powered one. I see they have 12 wpc and 25... 
Seeking speakers under $3K for 10x12 ft room and driven by 20wpc tube amp

Low Volume Speakers to pair with Gato 150
At Low Volume Listening: on average, human ears hear mids best, less well the highs and lows. We hear them all equally at ’normal’ volumes. Maintaining awareness of the Bass player in Jazz groups is what keeps low volume listening ’involving’ for...

How To Control The Eager Beaver
you can make a quickie overhang/null points protractor if you can punch/drill/cut a hole in a piece of stiff paper to fit onto a spindle, then simply draw a line across the center of the hole, and make some marks where you want them. overhang is ... 
How To Control The Eager Beaver
rather, inward skate, inward pull, happens naturally for any pivoted arm, on any smooth surface, no groove needed to make/see it happen. anti-skate, which we apply, counters the natural force you want your stylus ’floating’, so it drops down int...
