    Goldenear Customer Service Remains Top Notch!

    I wanted to start a thread to tell others of my recent experience with GE customer service, and this is all good news on their part. I have had my GE T2 towers for about 10 years now, original owner, and bought from authorized dealer. Unfortunately, my authorized dealer was bought out by a...

    Any Rec on a Wood Chipper / Leaf Shredder?

    Anybody have a wood chipper / leaf shredder rec for me? I'm on a property of 1.5 acres, and about 0.5 acre is just "wild/undeveloped". I would like to clean up that area a bit, but I also have loads and piles of oak leaves every year that I have just been piling in the undeveloped area until I...

    JBL CF100 (What's the Lowdown?)

    All you vintage JBL fans, please educate me on the JBL CF100 A friend has these and seems to be a bit underwhelmed with the mid-range. He says his AJ Pio towers are much more clear in the mid range. Are these CF100 any good? How are the crossovers' longevity? Any known problems? Im pretty...

    Give Me a Crash Course in Acoustic Measurements!

    Could a few of you that are experienced with in-room measurements provide some info here for a quick crash course in measurements? I'm more or less at diminishing returns on my electronics and speakers, and there almost has to be low hanging fruit in my measurement and room treatment options...

    Questions on Horizontal Center With Passive Radiator (i.e. DCM TP160C etc)

    I have never seen a center speaker design such as this. It "looks" like a conventional horizontal CC, but there is only a single woofer, while the other one that looks like a woofer is a passive radiator. So, in practice, it seems to me like a "normal ported speaker layed on its side"...

    Budget 5.0 Speaker Set for HT?

    I'm just starting to kick around some ideas for a full set of 5.0 speakers. Actually, I'm thinking this will be a 5.2 setup with a pair of subs, probably HSU subs or maybe SVS for the slick cylinder form factor. But, let's just focus on 5.0 right now. Let's put a budget of $1000 to $1500 on...

    Sennheiser HD600 (~$300) vs. HD650 (~$375) vs HiFiMan HE 400i (~$219)

    Title says it all! I was just browsing some headphone options, and all of these prices look like some smoking deals! What is BEST for the price??? I have never heard any HiFiMans, nor have I heard a planar magnetic can. I currently have Senn 598 and AKG845BT. I used to have AT-M50 but those...

    ATI Class D Amps!

    If anyone had any doubts about the current state of technology for Class D amps, I think it should be clear that the technology is mature now. ATI has started building Class D amps. Interestingly, they chose to use a linear PS! I very much agree with that design decision, but you don't see it...

    I know we have several avid bicyclers on here, so wanted to get opinions. Does anyone already own a Fatboy Bike? Something in the range of 3.5" to 4" wide tires? What are your thoughts? I already have a very nice Specialized XC Hardtail that fits my riding habits very well. But, I like the...
