Speakers
Wisdom
- If you want vintage speakers, make sure all the surrounds are ok and soft.
- Large speakers with large sized woofers make better bass
- Most speakers benefit from a subwoofer, no matter how large
- If you don't have electronic room correction, don't waste money with new speakers, 75% of the sound of a speaker is the rooms influence
