...literally. CD player direct into my old Crown Power Base 1 right into the Theater 4 pis. No controls. I walked around the room with earmuffs on looking for places that might rattle or boom, and happened to look at the surround of the woofer during a female vocal passage (Bjork). The internally mounted crossover was lighting up bright enough to see in daylight through the surround! Way too loud to be safe in the house, but now I understand why I had to put in those gawdawful big resistors. Knowing also that they're clear and dynamic below a watt gives me great respect for the design.
Sorry for the gush, had to share.
I wonder what kind of power level at what freq is required to incandesce those lamps?
