I can't even begin to crank it up as the windows in my tiny music room start rattling early on. That's okay--keeps my lease intact!



Yup... I don't care how good the studio reference speakers are.... there are sometimes only a sub will get the job done.

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
