    So, ever since I spotted, Klipsch's home theater line of speakers for the masses, I've wanted to try them. I remember seeing them all the way back in the 10s. But they were too expensive back then for my budget. Fast forward to today, and I'm sitting across from them setup in my living room. I'm...

    Installing Crossover for Pioneer S-HF21-LR

    I'll put my question up front and backstory is below the schematic. Do you think I'd get an improvement if I were to install a proper crossover into all eight of these speakers? (not really asking about is it "worth it" since I think I know the answer to that based on the cost and labor) There...

    The mystery with Onkyo E-100 and E-200 speakers

    Onkyo in the 1981/2 years brought their E-100 and E-200 speakers to the US market. According to the onkyo marketing ad to dealers, these were positioned as affordable but still high margin. Yet there is almost no signs of these speakers now. Would anyone had heard them? Thanks.
