Handyman. Yes, I have managed to salvage some of the individual resistors in the cluster as well. You are correct; not all of them test faulty, and it's easy to salvage the good ones to make another group.

@klooker That's crazy. I still cant get that that kind of detail, no matter how hard I work on it.

Handyman: Forgot to ask, have you ever had resistor issues? I have replaced the 5.8 ohm A LOT!! I do tend to drive them pretty hard after a couple of beer though :)  Cheaper to replace a resistor than a driver !!

Handyman: Yes, I followed the correct upper cabinet set up as outlined in the manual. It didn’t seem right to me, so I tried different angles, but quickly went back to factory recommended settings. I guess the good folks at Wilson know what they’r...

@handymann  I must completely disagree with you. I too have the Max 2's and they were a real PITA to set up. Lucky for me I knew the hassle expected, as I have had WP's before(and still do), and knew what I was getting into in regards to placement...

@michaelgreenaudio I too am curious about this tuning method that you reference. I am always open minded to any possibilities, and look forward to reading your posts, once posted. As a guitarist, I disagree somewhat on your comment on tuning being...

Soooooooo many possibilities...!
@audioglow I have a Steelhead and am quite happy with it, although it is kinda goofy looking. The remote will only control the volume, and no other functions, and only in the variable output configuration. It is by-passed in the fixed configuratio...

Brand new to vinyl: Help!
Set-up is crucial. You seem reluctant to do this yourself, and truthfully, there is a bit of a learning curve, so find someone in your area that can do this for you in your home. You will learn a lot about set-up, and will probably feel more confi...

Thanks folkfreak. No, I have not tried it with the lens guard removed. That may just be the ticket. Thanks for the tip.
