Hello everyone, My wife and I are in the process of downsizing, and will be moving to a considerably smaller home next month. As a consequence, I'm forced to...
... There are a couple of technical reasons why passive subwoofers, espeically those that are implemented on a tight budget, don't often work out very well. ...

Ryan, I can confirm what Fred said. I built one several years ago before the availability of low cost plate amps. Any quality cross-over will cost more to...
Here are some neat images, with an amazing story - vinyl recordings copied onto X-Ray plates and sold on the USSR black market. Makes me feel spoiled with my...
Dear all, I hope anyone who attended the meeting enjoyed very much. I always have something to take care just before the meeting... By the way, could you...
You can find buyer reviews on Amazon.com. The ones I read were generally positive, but most buyers of mass market speakers don't really understand what a...
Also, be sure to look under "Specials". Right now they have a pair of X- SLS towers in satin black for $239 and a pair in an exotic veneer for $299. The tower...
Again, I confirm that I can have the best answers from this forum! I just got the right and the best answers. Thanks Fred! BTW, do you know any local shop...

I've seen a pair of used Dali Megalines for sell on ebay by someone in Houston. Although I'm not in the market for speakers, I can't believe these have not...
If it seems too good to be true it probably is too good to be true. That was the demo pair at Esoterick, Inc. They stopped selling recently and are liquidating...
Thanks for responding. It sounds like a good opportunity though if someone can actually check them out (including listening for an extended period) prior to...

I heard the Megalines at Esoterick's after a HAS meeting at Audio Concepts. I my ears they were better than the MBL's in the back room. If someone wanted a...
Shipping would be expensive, but for someone living in Houston they wouldn't be bad to handle. Each speaker column is in two pieces so that they are very...
Anyone in the group an expert on AC surge protectors and power conditioners? I'm planning to have dedicated AC lines run to my A/V room and plan to buy surge...
Dave, I'd give my opinion, but it would be blatant self-promotion, since I manufacture large power conditioners with toroidal transformers (up to 5kVa). You...
... One of our members, David Stanard of Silver Circle Audio, manufactures them right here in Houston. Dave has a standing offer to loan a conditioner to any...
David: I am not an expert on the power conditioners so I will leave it to those that are to respond. As to the 20 amp dedicated line, I would suggest you...
David Sanford Thank you for your questions about power conditioners and surge protectors. It is a topic HAS discusses from time to time and there seem to be...
