Now for my question. Ideally I would like to use my Kenwood receiver that is 15 year old. What willl I...

What is the advantage or purpose of having your headphones always plugged into the TV? John

If you mean character, I disagree as imaging is a big part of character and the room has as much to do with it as the speaker. So does tonal balance. if you mean ultimate capability in...

If you want to go out of your way to...
