Years ago, when Harry Weisfeld was running VPI and probably before son Matt was yet born, there was the Magic Brick. The Magic Brick isn’t all that complicated.

Howard, I have a pair of JBL L100 Century speakers. They claim they are bookshelf size. 37Kg and big. Are they kidding? First – 37Kg per pair, not each! Well, sort of.
