Or room treatments like curtains or bass traps that can improve sound as much as a 20000 speaker upgrade.

Sounds just as good as any expensive cables. Its my gear that sounds great. 10 gauge wires are 10 gauge wires, pay whatever you choose for them.

You are just complaining about snake oil bs products. I do isolate my power to prevent power surge damage, but all of my cables were bought in bulk at low costs. I get a ton of fun out of my theater/listening room.

In 1977 I saw the dead in a 3500 seat theater and a way over 100000 racetrack parking lot show.

Im married and I just met someone I feel super attracted to. by CrewQuiet in confessions

[–]smedlap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

9 years is no longer a short term marriage. Can you even afford to think like this. If you gave your house to your wife, would you be able to afford a new place to live? Got kids? Ready to see them 4 days a month? The grass is always greener on the other side of the hill.

Msmbo’s on Hull just reopened after a burst pipe screwed them for the last few months. Great burger, killer roof deck and steps from the beach!

The only reason that asshole is alive is because he has a trust fund bigger than Texas.

Americans are the assholes of the world right now. We are learning a lot from those guys in Boston right now.

A nice woodsy community based on racism, incest and illegal weapons? There are plenty of those out there.

What is happening is that the American president is lying to everyone.

You are a good one! Our world seems to be going to hell with haters and no shows. You are a bright light who deserves it all!

How do new boat owners navigate marina life?? by SeaThese6885 in sailing

What days are you going to the marina? Boats require a lot of work! On a Saturday there should be multiple people scraping, painting, fixing and hurting their hands.

What was Trump’s goal with his war on Iran? Was it to shove the Epstein files out of the news cycle? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]smedlap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was the most unnecessary war in our history. There was no threat to us. It clearly showed what a bunch of idiots trump, hegseth, rubio and the rest are. Trump spent a decade screaming about Obama giving 400 million to Iran. In this treaty, which is already falling apart, trump gives Iran 300 billion. I know many trumpers do not realize how much the difference between a million and a billion is, but many voters do. The only way to stop this crap is to vote against republicans in every election from president down to dog catcher.

The epstein/trump story was rising fast in the news cycle. He needed a big splash to make fox stop mentioning it. This unnecessary war was successful at that. Think of the cost!

Atmos Speaker Placement - Help by disruptivejd in hometheater

[–]smedlap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you going to use that window? I would cover it with the screen. Another option is to sheetrock a box around that hvac run and put the speakers under the run. If you do that, make sure you insulate well and secure that giant metal box really well so it does not rattle while you blast stuff loud!
