$4000 BUGDET - YOU ONLY HAVE 2 CHOICES - YOUR FEEDBACK MUCH APPRECIATED
What amps do you have?  
How did 70s rock music transition into 80s music?
One 80’s group I for some reason like is The Cure. I walked into a record store that had converted to all CDs. I found the guy with the wildest hair and a vest full of buttons (flair). He handed me "Seventeen Seconds" and I've been a fan ever s...

Basic question about power/watts
A 40 wpc amp isn't going to get any Maggie working. Also, have you pulled them out 5 feet into the room? Tweeters in and pointed at your head?   
What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers?
My take on this is, that if you are not stuck with worrying about keeping efficiency then you can use components and crossovers that may provide a flatter frequency response without compromise. Often you have to compromise the response to keep the...
