Dear everyone I am Thomas, 23 years old, from the Netherlands and very happy to join this forum.
Music has always been a big part of my life, and in the last 5 years or so I have been getting more into improving my listening experience through better equipment.
My first experience with this were the Koss KSC75s, which I think some people may be familiar with.
As far as headphones go I am currently happily enjoying my Sennheiser HD560s headphones. My loudspeaker setup on the other hand leaves much to be desired. Which is where this forum comes in. I kinda found myself in the ownership of two 25L enclosures with 8" speaker holes in them, that I am looking to fill. So you will probably find me on the forums lurking and asking questions on this subject.
Whilst I am not necessarily looking to make speaker building my next big hobby, I am looking forward to interacting with all of you and would like to wish everyone reading a nice day.
Kind regards, Thomas

Hey Allen, I don't want to annoy people with questions that have been answered a thousand times so I will be using the search function to the best of my ability before asking any questions. But in case I do, does this forum employ any sort of "questions that don't deserve their own thread" kind of concept? Like a place for short or simple questions?
You can always tag along with one of the current threads if that makes you more comfortable. It's ok to ask an off-topic question as long as it returns to topic soon enough.
If you want to start your own I'd suggest you go ahead and start one. If it comes to our attention for some reason we'll take care of it.

Welcome!
I don't think so. Subforums do have Sticky's, but they can be as simple as a photo topics, or sometims a favoutites listing of topics.
I have been lurking for some time now and find that there are three main catagories of members.
Pro's - with deep knowledge and find the time and joy to answer almost any newbee's questions.
Newbee's - that rely on the above.
People in the middle - like myself, that try to help (or unintentionally obfuscate) where they can, and are otherwise just amazed at the Pro's.
