| Music bleeding at zero volume Volume controls do wear. I have an older Krell KBL that has the same problem. This is not a definite answer but a possibility. | |

| Have speakers really improved within the last 20 years?? No. They've gotten worse. | |
| Do you use a Subwoofer when listening to stereo? I use two Velodyne DD-15's with no xover for the mains. I can turn them off with the remote if I want to but usually keep the on. | |
