Spkr size vs. Room size
It just seems that the better I acoustically treat the room the smaller my speakers sound.I think it is voiced quite well with good decay times and it isn't overly absorbed.I followed a live end, dead end theory and happy with the results.Just won... 
Boomy bass in home theater room
Pick up an old ashly analog parametric.They are very user frienly.This will remove the bass bumps.Digital parametrics are difficult for the beginners.Get yourself a test disc and a ratshack SPL meter.Put the sub where it sounds best and go from th...

Thanx nighthawk. 
subwooferability ???
I love the guys that are in awe of other peoples work and lack the ability to develop them,themselves.Almost like the guys who call NFL teams,"my team".Nothing like a good cheer leader.Keep cheering for the other guys and leave the work to people ...

A little more info...I sit about eight feet from my stand mounted mini monitors.My room is about 13'x15'.My amps are about a hundred watts per ch.I use three for HT.I am looking for new monitors that give me a bit more headroom. 
B&K ST-140 - Older vs. Newer versions?
I'm not an expert but I run three in my HT system.The original had 70wpc.The next two versions had champagne rack handles and gray face plates.The fourth version had blue lettering.I like the gray with champagne rack handles.Serial #2300.Good luck 
Where to start with room acoustics
Warnerwh,we must have the same room.Live end ,dead end.Jon Risches tube traps...I made a whole bunch of acoustic panels and my rear wall is covered with homemade sky line diffusers.They are blue until the weather warms up and I can paint them out ...

How to upgrade from Aragon 4004 mkII amp

anyone biamping with B&K ST-140?
That darn sean!I thought that I was the B&K man because I use three in my HT rig,and have a spare in case one craps out.My serial numbers all range around #2900.They have a very warm sound that makes it quite easy to sustain three hours of lor... 
ASC Sound Panels
Save yourself a ton of money and build your own.So far I have built Jon Risches tube traps,my own acoustic panels and ,skyline diffusers.I did the whole room for under 500.00.If you have the money to buy the real deal then go for it, if not I woul... 
Active vs. Passive ?
The fact behind the designs are so worth while.To design one to mate so well with the other is almost stupid proof.Chasing amps and speakers separate is like shopping for a car and then a motor.Thanx. 
Favorite integrated amp?
Musical Fidelity B-1.35 watts per ch. , pure sound!
