Do you feel articles on DIY should be a part of Stereophile?

So many into DIY and the older mags back in the day used to run test on DIY kits .Why not now? Is it due to the fact that modern man cant do for themselfs? Or just no perceived interest. So many Kits and times are getting hard might be more folks willing to do some work to get better performance and save costs.I also feel that this would be good for Stereophile. There are many companies to get as advertisers and it might open up the mag to new folks.I have posted on this in the past on the asylum and I know theres a mag or 2 that does DIY.

Help matching a sobwoofer to my system for classical music

Forums

I'm almost embarassed to post this, but my listening music genre has changed slightly, so I'm looking for a logical way to meet my listening needs while maintaining my budget and prolonging my marriage. Here is the deal. I have modest, simple though technically adequate system for music listening and since I am now listening to much more classical music, I need more bass. My system is a Conrad-Johnson 2300 power amp, a pair of B&W 802 Matrix speakers, and a Theta Miles CD player; i.e no vinyl or changer in my set-up.

I first heard the Totem Acoustic Tab&#249; loudspeakers at HI-FI '96, <I>Stereophile</I>'s Home Theater & Specialty Audio Show at the Waldorf=Astoria in New York City last June. A startlingly realistic vocal recording drew me to Totem's sixth-floor demo room. Vincent Bruzzese, the speaker's designer, was playing Michael Jonasz singing "Si si si le ciel" from <I>la fabuleuse histoire de Mister Swing</I> (WEA 2292-42338-2, imported by May Audio Marketing). The small, two-way Tab&#249; cast a holographic, palpable musical image with clear highs and sizzling dynamic pace. I was bitten, and set things in motion for this review. And two other things drew me to the Tab&#249;: its capacitor-less crossover and its similarity to Totem's <A HREF="http://www.stereophile.com/standloudspeakers/820">Model 1</A>.
