    Shocked by the bass extension of Energy C500

    Hi Folks, I bought a pair of Energy C-500 1 month ago and found that it's my most satisfying speaker in terms of bass extension, especially in a tiny floor case. I don't even need a powered subwoofer to reach that low frequency which I guess is around 40Hz. I have a pair of Energy Connoisseur C9...

    Lost oomph after recap Marantz 1060

    Hey, I've just had a Marantz 1060 recapped, obviously I expect a slight sound change when that's done, but I don't think I was ready for just how much bass I seem to have lost. An old hiss is now gone, and the mid and highs seem a lot clearer, but I've also lost the tight punch and low end...

    Can I install passive radiators into a speaker box with regular full-range speakers?

    I'm hoping to build wooden enclosures for these PC speakers I have. The drivers I'll be using will come from 2 different 2.0 PC speaker systems, and I'll be putting one driver from each into each "new" enclosure. I would also like to put passive radiators into the new enclosures. I've heard in...
