Why wouldn’t you buy a sub from a speaker company? Here’s one for audiophiles: if you want real good sound look at studio equipment rather than expensive hifi stuff. A high end studio interface plus a pair of full range studio monitors will sound more accurate than any hifi setup.

And another one: listening experience is 95% acoustics. Don’t bother with speakers above say 2k if you’re not willing to invest money and space into proper acoustic treatment.

The day a full price is asked is the day a finished project should be expected.

Just because a government subsidises sports (for example for health benefits) does not mean there is some nefarious plot to keep the populace from being involved in politics

Ehm no? What person or institution or organisation do you imagine going “harrr let’s get kids into sports so that they don’t bother to learn about politics harr!” exactly? Because it’s for sure not schools that are doing that. Most schools even teach about how politics work even.
