Bought the wrong subwoofer!
anyone banging on in absolute terms should be dismissed summarily Precisely. That's why I summarily ignored your post.  
Listening to music I don’t particularly like
I occasionally (infrequently) listen to recordings that I either don't like or didn't like the last time I listened to them, just as a reality check that what I heard the last time is still true.  Personal tastes change over time, not to mention o... 
You Cant Buy It but you Can Build It
This thread cracks me up; so much effort on the back end, but relying on an old laptop's sound module?  Give me a break!
