    High end internal speaker wire and birch ply where to get

    Hey The treaded inserts are easy to find. You get those even at Galmar at minimal cost think under R2 but the spikes are more difficult. Once bought inserts for swivel chair from Galmar and had them machined at engineers to be spiked. Worked well.. My experience is that you should first...

    My bad luck continues... Help please

    Know the feeling of relief. First rule of thumb, switch off equipment then swap interconnect sides left to right...... If problem persists say a prayer Then switch off again and swap speaker cable behind amp..... If problem swaps to other speaker then you have a problem.

    AC power consumption of a power amp

    From all i have been studying and told by some really knowledgeable audio guys is that the more power the amp has the more the control it has on the speaker just as a 1.3 l engine is less comfortable at 140kph than a 3l engine. If the reserve is not there in the amp the sound may not be optimum...

    Speaker longevity

    Wouldn't use water on speakers especially near drivers. The grommets are the easiest thing to replace and not too expensive but should not give in after only 3years
