Carl Sagan said: Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Maybe Brandolini was channeling Sagan.

Apparently someone did... but it was not me. I've always enjoyed reading Amir's reviews as well as the comments following his reviews. His and others' reviews have saved me money as well... thanks.

I just suggested that people could look at ASR measurements for good information regarding audio equipment.

That ASR guy Armir likes to test equipment using 4 times the input voltage that it is rated for then says the equpment is crap..he is the one full of crap... hnash53 (that's me) responded to a post in another popular audio forum regarding audio cables and warming up solid state amps/receivers...

Might I suggest getting a pair of DevTech bookshelves that are tuned to match your center DevTech?

It's possible that a previous owner glued the woofers in place... but given that the surrounds are rotted means that they are likely the originals. So, the woofers are probably not glued in. Since the magnets are so large on these woofers, you might need to get a small screwdriver under the...

What's wrong with watching Andrew Robinson?

Seems to me that the original poster has been overwhelmed with all of the suggestions/admonitions...7 pages of it. Plus, much of this thread has gotten way off track. If it was me, I'd be lost.

"...a sizeable and noisy minority has always been distrustful of science." For that sizable and noisy minority... please turn in your computers, cars, electronics, paint, metals, smartphones, medicines, ad infinitum... all of which were developed through the scientific method.

Sounds like (pun intended) that you're getting significant room interaction with your speaker placement. If it sounds good on the floor, it is good. Go with it. Floorstanders might sound great.

I found this art deco Zenith Chairside Radio circa 1939 and refinished the cabinet and put in a wifi speaker and a replica of the Zenith clock. Some people thought that what I did was pure heresy.

I'm a late comer to this thread... what a trip!! All the lovely ladies! Thanks!

Oh my!!
