Wow thank you so much Alan, that was an amazing response! For comparison, do you have any ballpark idea of what 10 ft away from a cigarette would measure like? If my speakers are usually hanging out in 003 and that's not hurting them at all, then 005 seems like it wouldn't be too bad either.

Hello, I've recently acquired a pair of reQuests, which I am loving. My girlfriend and I live in a small apartment, so there is only one room for leisure activities, and this is where the speakers are. I've heard that cigarette smoke is very bad for the panels, but most people seem to...

Ok I'm definitely going to find something then! Do you have any idea how I can tell if a given amp is powerful enough to be an improvement without auditioning? Due to budget constraints I have to look on the used market, and with the COVID-19 situation any kind of auditioning is very difficult now.

I could stretch up to $800 in the short term if that's really necessary, that would let me pick up a parasound Halo A23. Do you think that would be an improvement? If not, what used budget do you think it would take? Do you have the ability to audition the A23 before buying ? If everything is...

Thanks for the response! I'm using it in 4 channel for movies, but 2 channel performance is my main concern. I care more about music quality than movie quality. Also, another amp came up, what do you think about the NAD c-375bee? specs here...

Sorry for the bump, but one of the amps I've been looking at is the Parasound Halo 23. I'm a bit concerned, because unlike the 23+ (too expensive) the 23 is not rated stable at 2 ohms. Despite this, do you think it would be a significant improvement over the SR6007? How would it compare to a...

Hey everyone! I just became the proud owner of a pair of reQuests! Original owner vacuumed them twice a month and they seem to be in excellent condition. I’m really loving them so far. I’m wondering if anyone has any general tips or advice on these babies but I also have a few specific...
