    Why are chip amps often described as having "tube sound"? What are the similarities between them??

    Isn't the similarity that the signal from a class d gets mangled through a coil and that from a tube amp through a transformer?

    B&W speakers

    DM 302. I've never heard them myself. They are a budget model, but quite popular and get mostly positive reviews.

    JBL Control 10s as studio monitors?

    http://www.jblpro.com/pub/obsolete/Control_10.pdf JBL says they have 'forward voicing', do you want that? They are designed to go very loud and cut through noisy environments.

    Vintage “bass reflex” speakers.. no bad! Anyone got them?

    I have a pair of Akai sw-30. I like them. Bit of coloration from the pipe. But I use them on my desk, close to an exceedingly heavy wall in a smallish room. The biggest downside imho is not even them being lean on the bass, but that they beam like crazy.

    Unusual thrift finds you didn’t not buy ?

    Saw 2 ok looking Dual CL 137 for 7 euros. But I bought bigger more upmarket Duals from the thrift before and I ended up giving those away again. And the few reviews say something like not bad but not great either. And the magnets look smallish on google pictures.

    Unusual thrift finds you didn’t not buy ?

    Last time I dropped some stuff off at my local thrift. I saw a pair of Rogers ls8. But when I inquired, the gentleman told me: these have just been brought in. They go to our central depot first to be tested, then they will be sent to one of our multiple locations in the city. Never saw them again.

    What are some of the best tiny speakers out there?

    Kef 101's are much more affordable than the small BBC monitors, I don't know how rich the flow is in Texas.

    Goodmans maxim tweeter repair ?

    Do you have the old ones? Or the remake? The old ones are very desirable, but I know nothing about the tweeters. The v2's use an audax tweet that's pretty common among budget bookshelves of that era.

    Should I use sound dampening?

    I have cheap stands that resonate strongly at certain frequencies. I found out by sliding around: https://www.szynalski.com/tone-generator/

    Cheapskates: What do you use for speaker stands?

    I think they're made from recycled xylophones.

    Long vs Short rear ports?

    You don't have the 'blanking-off plate" they mention in the manual? As I read it, long port is normal, short is extra bass, blanked shut is decreased low end.

    Explosive Damage to Cerwin-Vega DX-9 woofers

    Sorry for being hung up about the stratocaster. But a new guitar amp seems in order too if a vintage receiver's mic input sounds better.

    Bose 4.2 series II opinions?

    I had to look that up, not really their style. I think there is some venting going on. Edit: Oops, that was already mentioned. Carry on.
