    Thinking about that 2x2 corner box, but likely 1x15. Have enough horns already.
    Picked up a Harmon Kardon receiver that does 5.1, thinking about corner boxes for front channels. Straight boxes in rear and center. Nailed a 55 inch Samsung that had a cold solder joint for $100. Yes I'm a cheapskate.

    But it seems only natural to use Altecs for movies.

    Which edition?

    Typical '70s, etc., ***censored*** tech manual. Surprised you'd waste any money on it.

    could have sworn i posted a reply. (in this case i believe i have a bad cat6 line coming into the house)
    first edition 11th printing 1975 copyright 1966, paperback. i only paid 7$. i find it interesting.
    the binder on the otherhand is pretty cool. and i didn't pay 80 bucks for it. but that's between me and Bryan.

    Re: Speaker Enclosures Their Design & Use

    Haven't seen any beyond the 8th ed. for sale [my last copy is 9th/'72/144 pg. paperback], so I wonder what, if any, updates it has [he asks rhetorically]. Does it discuss T/S box alignment theory?

    Re: Speaker Enclosures Their Design & Use

    No clue unless you're using a laptop mouse pad where you may have accidentally dragged the pointer over its 'hot' link. This is my first time using one and have already found out the hard way about this 'feature' numerous times and that the several different laptops I've tried all perform differently, especially WRT finger tap pressure and varying atmospheric effect on the skin/mouse pad surface, not to mention some sites have 'hot' links that need a proper mouse pad button/rocker switch to activate without having to 'hammer' it with my finger[s]. Also, my left index finger has no fingerprint and won't work except when 'hammering' the pad, so overall enough aggravation for me to warrant getting a wifi mouse next time they come on sale at BB, etc..
