[okiepolkie]

The dumbest thing I ever did in audio was convince myself that I was unhappy with my current setup, then reconvinced myself that I was unhappy with the next current setup, then I reconvinced myself that I was unhappy with the next current setup.......

...bought speakers primarily based on size. Now I have an enormous set of Cerwin Vega's that have been collecting dust for years.

.....blow a set of tweets on a pair of old technics 3 ways. It was my first lesson in what "clipping" is.

[venomclan]

Hooking up speaker wire and interconnects to amps with the power on is bad:( . SPARKS and the lovely buring smell simply add to the home theater experience.

Hook my first set of polks to a cheap sony receiver and try to blast them.

Thank god for thermal protection, the rcvr. shut itself down every time and had to be reset.

Nice Karma.

in please

[billbillw]

Count me in please...
The dumbest thing in audio I've ever done is: Went with a pair of Infinity SM series floorstanders for my first home speaker purchase. Uncontrolled boomy bass, wishy-washy mids, and harsh highs. What was I thinking?

[labrat]

Show a 70's vintage receiver a 3 ohm load. I was dumb but got lucky - the rcvr is still working in the kid's room.

NOT in

[Shizelbs]

In please.

.... invest as much time as I have listening to MP3s. Uncompressed is oh so much better.

[AsSiMiLaTeD]

In please

Hooking a power strip into the outlet on your receiver isn't a good idea...

[masanz1]

In Please

was buy a receiver with no phono and no preouts

[Tour2ma]

1. Must have at least 50 posts.
2. Must currently or previously have owned at least two pair of Polk speakers.
3. Must complete the following sentence: "The dumbest thing I ever did in audio was____________."

1. Yup over 50...

2. Closer to 2 dozen...

3. The dumbest thing I ever did in audio was base my first speaker purchase on size.

Lafayette Criterion 80's were big, and, on sale, affordable for a college kid, but resided on the suck side of the street and were a horrible match sensitivity-wise for the Heathkit AA-15 I had built.

In please....

[Early B.]

One of (many) the dumbest things I did in audio was believe my system sounded as good as it can get with every subsequent upgrade.

[read-alot]

I once was lost

In Thanks

[jdhdiggs]

The dumbest thing I ever did in audio was buying into the THX hype.
