| Could I be a Retail Wretch? Asking a question and then telling the respondents that they are incorrect is disingenuous, at best, IMHO, and akin to trolling.If your original question was rhetorical in nature perhaps it should've been framed in such a way that it did not requi... | |

| JBL L5 - Frozen Voice Coil (Woofer) Use a multi meter to check the DC offset at the speaker output terminals on the amp. DC will weld a voice coil quicker than my cat will tear up a sofa. | |
| Best way to pay for audio purchase? Bitcoin? | |
| Skeptic or just plain hard headed It’s interesting that folks refer to these things as belief systems. Does the Earth being round, or flat, for that matter, become a belief system? Either something is, or isn’t. It’s rather independent of belief. | |
