    • The purpose of a business is to make money , the price of a product is what the market will bear. Anything higher it won’t sell . In this case a great deal of effort has been made to make sure the product will sell . I think price gouging is when a company tries to sell products  or services for outrageous prices under circumstances that fall outside the normal boundaries of   supply and demand , like during a crisis , a pandemic or war for example.
    • I agree with everything you state here. Heritage is just better with Heritage. They never came up with a center per se. Three alike across the front stage is always a good idea. If you just can't make it fit physically, you might have to make a little saw dust fly.

    • Hello all. Had some questions that I figured I should bounce off everyone here first. Background first to be thorough.   So we have a Denon receiver, not at home right now, so not 100% sure on the model. We have Klipsch front tower speakers, center, dual subs, x4 Monoprice speakers for ceiling speakers, and 4x R41M for side and rear surround channels. Had to have a separate Monoprice amp because we were lacking a couple channels on the receiver, so that powers the front towers.   That all out of the way, I believe we bought the speakers in 2019 or 2020. Have absolutely loved our speakers so far, coming from sound bar and small sub or TV speakers before this.    Last night, we were watching YouTube videos, and the receiver was in auto, which put it on TV Stereo. I can't for the life of me remember if that receiver duplicates stereo to the other speakers or not, but I don't think so.... it has been forever since I even paid attention honestly. Only pay attention when I am gaming or watching movies. Anyway, while it was in stereo, there was a low almost a little muted pop from one of the rear R41M speakers, then the receiver went into protection mode, flashing the status light red. I cycled it to test, and it started booting, then did the same. Being as I could tell which speaker, I went and unplugged it, and the receiver was working fine after that all night.   Fast forward to today, and I brought the speaker with me to a family gathering so I could borrow a multimeter (kids hid mine somewhere apparently). Back of the speaker says 8 ohm, multimeter on the wires and terminals tests 3.6 to 3.8. From what I have seen, people say it is normal for the speaker to test lower on a multimeter, and that 3.5-4 ohm is perfectly fine. I hadn't noticed last night, but when I went to test the leads at the terminals, the screw on the negative was loose. The speaker wire wasn't moving around noticeably, and it wasn't cutting out or anything beforehand or intermittently testing open at all when testing from the wire wall plugs. The kids did have some books they moved on to that bookshelf that was possibly pressing up against the wall plugs, but I don't think it was enough to bend the plugs over enough to touch.   Ok, sorry for the long read, but if something were to briefly short the wires and the receiver protection triggered quick enough, would the speaker possibly still be fine? Especially since it was in stereo at low volume. If a single wire is loose in the terminal, but isn't moving around enough to short... just enough to cause distortion and cut-out... could that trigger a receiver's short circuit protection? Is the 3.6 to 3.8 ohm tested on the speaker terminals actually fine? Should I be alright (assuming the measured resistance is fine) to plug the speaker back in, ensuring tight connections and nothing pressing on the wall jack, to test if everything works still? Obviously primary concern is to not end up damaging the receiver that would cost a couple grand or more to replace. (Was $1800 on sale when we got it.)   Again, sorry for the long read. First time we have had any issues with the system, and this isn't something I have a ton of background in. Thanks in advance.   Matt
    • Lil laff watching the VT/MN football game in the Duke Mayo Bowl  Yea, I get it w/the Duke's but man those two announcing didn't seem to enjoy it too much on frozzen ice cream bars.  Couldn't believe they showed him on cam grabbing a wastebasket and spitting it all into it.  Funny.  So they close it w/the  winning coach getting a big jug of that stuff dumped on his head at the end of the game?  ANYthing but a jug of mayo I don't care WHO makes it!  It's ALL about the money!  lol   Rain and snow moving thru in the next couple days.  4" to 4' it sounds like.  Bllah, what do "they" know anyway?  Just gonna turn it UP!    Maybe nekkie snow angels if I'm feelin it!      
    • I hadn’t thought about it, but makes me less afraid to take mine apart!
    • I am making my own but it’s misleading when people try to justify price gouging, there’s no excuse for it. 
    • While they're both bass reflex speakers and the Chorus was intended to replace the Cornwall, they're really quite difference in terms of overall performance and execution. In theory, a Chorus coulda, shoulda been better. It was hamstrung in terms of frequency response, although boundary/corner loading can improve that overall compared to the spec sheets. Simply increasing the cabinet volume could lead to a considerable performance increase, given the same components.
    • To add on to Heinze's post above, he is pointing out the difference between wood screws and machine screws threaded into T-nuts. My La Scalas and huge MWM cabinets used t-nuts. They act like a captive nut on the back of the speaker baffle. I'm pretty sure the Belles also use t-nuts.   Four are enough four each woofer.
