Den, Tornadoes miss us. Actually, I was on my way to Dallas for the Lone Star Audio Fest dragging a 5x8 U-Haul trailer behind my Ranger when I passed through...
Bob, I'm glad all is well with you and family. Scary stuff especially the loss of life. These storms seem much more frequent and earlier in season than I...

Hey Bob, I'm thinking about a change to the DX3 driver in my LT-2000s. A while back I read some old posts about the some of the sound differences between the...
Jim, Basically, you will not hear much degradation in the bass when you move to the DX3. You will have to add a couple of ohms of series resistance, but other...

OK Bob, thanks for the input. It sounds like what I want. I'm not in a rush because I'm satisfied, but always looking for more, so at the right time, I will...
Hi Bob, Hi all, After having spent a lot of time on numerous forums, tech docs and MJK MathCad sheets (not so easy to use :-))), I have eventually decided to...

Hi Bob, What I was thinking is that Fermacell, in addition to reducing wall vibration, has some acoustic absorbing property which Hardi Backer probably hasn't....
Hi Bob, I am on the way for starting gluing this evening. Reading further your instructions, I came across two points raising questions : - I am very much...
I have to make this comment about the Brines FT1600II's after listening today. Kind of a reaffirmation, a wake up call? You have to do this once in awhile. ...

Francois, ... connection : do you really use only ONE pair of cat5e per enclosure, that is ONE of these very thin copper wires for each terminal ? I thought...
Bob, Have you experimented with SEAS's new driver? I'm wondering if the hype is real or not. Thanks. Jim...

Jim, No I haven't. ALL new stuff gets a lot of hype, which sort of reflects on the "look what I just did" approach of the DIY world. However, let me say that...
Hi Bob et al, Today one of my stereo channels went dead. I'm suspecting the F200A driver on the left side was blown somehow. Before ordering a new pair of...

As you may know, for my personal use, I use a computer front end to a DAC then then to the amp. I have removed the passive filters from my speakers and do the...
Bob, Thanks a lot for sharing a way to digitally EQ the drivers in place of the passive filters. Like you I also rip my CDs onto HDs in WAV and FLAC formats....
