| What happened to my bass? during my speaker searching a couple years back I found that I had one song with a male vocal "grunt/growl/whatever" that was interestingly placed in the freq range such that on some speakers (same room and position) it was diminished quite a lot ... | |
| need to down size to monitors PMC DBi. if the small footprint units like Mapman suggested are a possibility than the smallest unit (GBi I think?) may work. May be too expensive though the DBi is in your range easily. Lots of good choices listed above. the pmc units leapt to mi... | |

| "The Heat Pipes are coming"... The Heat Pipes are Corazon you actually can reduce the temp of stuff without contact by ways other than a fan. Not helpful for us but radiative heat transfer only need a temperature delta and view to work. the old school arabs, before light polution, used to be able... | |
