Sam, are you aware that federal regulations prohibit a housing association from banning the use of individual satellite dishes as long as you mount the dish within your boundary, or sole use common area (such as your yard or balcony). You can look up the regulations at...

Randal, the cables are the least of your problems. The main culprit is likely to be the amplifier. 30W is not very much, particularly when the treble control is cranked all the way up. Under these circumstances you are very likely to be clipping the amp on transients, leading to the sounds you...

The decibel level for break in has a profound effect. If too loud then after 100 hours you are deaf and so cannot tell whether it sounds better or not :). Seriously, I don't want to get into the debate of the merits of break in, but would like to offer some practical advice. When breaking in...

As someone who has been in the industry for over 25 years, I thought I would add my comments. I think Patrick and Bill are very close in their assessment. In the real world, speaker design is a mix of mechanical design, acoustics, electronics and material science. No one course will cover all...

An altenative to tennis balls are squash balls as these comes in different grades of "spring" so you can fine tune.

Chris, I have experienced this problem before. I was Chief Engineer at KEF in England, many moons ago, and had a customer complaint of a very similar description. In that case it was not vibration, as you have proven by simply lifting the speaker off the tv a few inches. It is not current...

Colin, not all shielding problems result in color changes on the tv screen. Mild ones can just cause darkening, as you have. The problem does not always manifest itself directly under the speaker, it depends on how well shielded the tv screen is. Try some experiments as follows:- turn off the...

From personal experience I would advise caution when dimming low voltage halogen lights, and make absolutely sure that the dimmer is compatable. I know this to my cost as I fitted low voltage halogen lights in my bathroom that had an integral step down transformer (magnetic) in the can. The...

Hi Patrick, the woofer is not actually glued to the cabinet. We sued a semi-liqiud gasket that gets squished in place when the woofer is screwed to the cabinet. If you are careful, by using a flat blade screwdriver, gently prise up the woofer frame at a number of positions around the perimeter...

Patrick, the tweeter used in the Infinity RS3 is a custom design, designed by Infinity and originally sourced from Asia but in later models redesigned and sourced from Audax. It can be removed by unscrewing the baffle and carefully pulling the baffle away from the cabinet (it is partly held in...
