    Pls. don't laugh !!! how do I protect your HT from EMP

    I actually know something about this topic. There is shielding that can help your system: it resembles a metal box, completely sealed without any cracks, in which both you and your home theater must reside to be protected - quite expensive. Unfortunately, you also must eliminate conducting...

    Need speaker grill cloth

    I got my speaker grill cloth from "G Street Fabrics" in Centerville, Virginia (or is it Chantilly, Virginia?). Call (703)555-1212 for their number. They carry Black and Brown, not tan that I recall. I puchased off-the bolt quantities there for covering large in-wall openings in my HT.
