OK. Count me in too. I'm in the 33624 sip code. If I can be of any help or support in some way, don't hesitate to let me know. Given enough notice I can usually be hwereever. Although, I am unable to drive. I can drive, but it's just not a good idea.

Is Bi - amping worth the trouble?
Ngjockey ... got it. Thank you.MarkphdGot it. As I was listening to the input you posted it started coming back to me... the vertical thing was the way I initially thought to go... with the same VK500 w/BP amps. Possibly bridged... though not at f...

the results are in... the idea about the upper bass driver not functioning off the BM's upper post is accurate. I'm still in awe... I am sure big enough to admit a mistake... I need to now, and I apologize for any issues I may have caused.Who'd ha...

Jdodmead...it would seem so. As I understand the posting, the plates are there only to hook up to the supplied umbilical... which is still another ten or so inches above the "mystery posts", (must have been a shortage of wire somewhere), and it su...

mfsodyou may want to have your speakers checked out. the 3 pairs of binding posts are connected to the respective drivers. tops are for all the driveers in that module.... next down are for the mid bass... and bottom most are for the low end drive... 
Von scheikert VR4jr what are you using ?
Mfsoa ...yes. All three sets of binding posts have speaker cables attached to them... the Signature 10 bi-wire set is attached to the mid bass, and upper module binding posts... low pass on the mid bass, and high pass on the upper module. the sing...

Need shot? Try your local "Trap & skeet" club (s).I use what I've got, and not done much experimenting with other amp & preamp combos. I run a pair of BATs... VK500 w/BP, and a VK5i preamp with different tubes than stock. I keep my seconda...
