    SP-2500 placement

    Should these speakers be positioned flat on the floor or do owners use speaker stands? I have a pair 8" off the floor with a 5° back tilt. The dual tweets tell me a recap might be :n order. The mids & highs aren't as detailed as my other speakers. Cosmetically, they are museum mint. Thanks..

    SX-3800 from the 'Bay

    The wife bought me a 3800 sunday nite. The seller was morgan. It arrived yesterday am with a large dent to the box's side. So we all know the sinking feeling that comes from witnessing such. But morgan's packaging made all the difference. The blow came to the back of the unit, and it appears...

    Loudness Used in CD Recording- Clipping

    STA-2100-D No Green Light

    This unit came off the Bay last week. Overall, I'd give this unit a 7.5 before cleaning. After using camel's hair brushes, alcohol, and End Dust, she polished up to a very nice 9+ w/a classic satin finish. No dings,dents, wood top and panels are very nice w/no scratches. The Lights are on...
