Here's what I think is the general consensus on HiFi two channel speaker classifications and associated costs. It seems relevant considering some of the prior posts in this thread: Entry Level $500 to $2,000 Mid Level $2,000 to $5,000 Hi End $5,000 to $15,000 Ultra High End > $15,000. And there...

So, I'm thinking a bout a secondary bedside system consisting of a HD650/600 and an amp. Any recommendations? Here are some considerations: Would like to buy used But not old (<3yrs) Price <$400 I prefer tubes But tubes are not required If I DO get a tube amp, I'd like to leverage my...

Oh, and BTW, seriously, how good are the Tigers? How can they go from the laughing stock of MLB to this??

While not a common tube, I have read that this tube will work well in many designs. The problem of course is the limited supply of good NOS American made tubes.

Jon, thanx much for the awesome answers. It has been an adjustment for me - I'm used to Hockey which is super faxt action non-stop. But, it is really is interesting.

So, I'm primarily a hockey fan, followed by college football and basketball. However, I'm from Detroit and so, am now following MLB a bit closer. I watched a National League game last night and have the following questions. 1. Why do pitchers bat like they do? I've never played fastball...

Sorry I can't help you but, please do some searches on re-cabling or hard-wiring the K1000s. I just can't remember where, but I've seen step-by step articles. Of course the removing of the screens would be of value to you. Good luck. BTW, were they like this when you bought 'em??

Although I've never done it, my impression from many articles, posts, etc. is; if you thought getting 'em off is hard, wait until you try getting 'em back on! Think about getting a can of compressed air first and giving 'em a good blowing. You won't believe the junk that comes out (uggh.)

What's a secondary account?

I'm not a newbie.

Maybe it's an age thing. I'm 38, two small boys, two dogs and a house. Last year I used a small radio while doing the lawn (NPR) but always felt like someone was sneaking up on me. Other times in the yard, I just like to listen to "nature." Don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE music...
