Incoming ... Joseph Audio Pulsars
Thanks. I'm using a JL Audio e110 Subwoofer with the Pulsars and high pass it to my power amp. When I turn off the cross over, the bass coming from the sub becomes louder. Is that because it's just taking a direct signal and doubling the speakers?...

Audio Envy Studio Prestige Interconnects
I had posted on AA and here looking for an IC for my FM tuner. One of the inmates on AA recommended AE. So, I went to the website, did some research, and decided to give it a go. The price was reasonable and there is a 45 day return policy. I have...

Is there a user solution?
Have you checked the fuses and the tubes in the left channel? 
Subwoofer to go with new BW 804 D3
I agree with the recommendation of the JL Audio e110 or e112. I'm using an e110 with my B&W N804s and it packs quite a punch. 
Question About Fuse Markings
Thanks. Any idea what the fuse voltage would be and where I can purchase them in the USA?  
How to replace FST Driver
UPDATE ... Success! I called B&W and they said the rubber surround might be sticking to the front of the speaker because of age. So, SWMBO suggestee that I use the eraser end of a pencil to push from the back and exert a little pressure. Bingo...
