Dollar to Satisfaction Ratio not met.

Larry, Michael you do pose a solid question and sound reasoning. While I did find synergy with certain pairing of my equipment, I'm searching for a solution that would allow satisfaction with all pieces I choose to pair at any given time. It's just one of those things and I do thank you for your input, but I couln't part with theses pieces, it's truly nice equipment. Al, thank you for the ' Burson ' suggestion. In having read somethings on it I think it's worth a try. My sub ( HSU UL-15 ) connection is XLR out from the BAT to XLR in at the sub, at 21' per XLR cable. I do have a Behringer DEQ 1246 (?) RTA/DAC/EQ that I was thinking about placing between the preamp and sub since it has provisions for subwoofer/s. I admit I'm not much in the way of calculating impedance curves and such, just one who loves this audio hobby to the last breath. Any ideas regarding the Behringer additions? I will continue reading about the Burson, and I'm pretty sure it will be added soon. Thank you all for your assistance, this is what makes this hobby a true joy, audio friends!!!!!!

My fellow music lovers, thank you all for the hard truths, great realities and lessons within the numbers that I have yet to formaulate as a second sense. But in time that too shall come to past. While the suggestion of more research, which I can only do to the best of my mere understanding thus far, is my best alternative, I do not have the luxury of hearing any gear due to my geographical location. Also while it is true that aditional gear ( as a bandaid ) may or may not get me closer to the musical nirvana I'd like to reach, I have decided to enrich my equipment list with matching pieces from the companies that I have already assembled my electronics ( pres & amps ). From what little exposure I've had to BAT, McCormack, and Nuforce, I've come to like what they offer when they're in their element. The sub while useful, is something I can delgate to home theather, and not miss much in what each of my speaker systems offer. But trust me when I say, not one bit of you alls time an input is in vain. I now have to do a little more in house component matching, which I'm truly excited about ( more toys/candy ) because in the end with this sound advice I'm now more on track than before. I did communicate with Steve about matching a VTL preamp with the DNA, which could be a future option, but I'll be scanning the Gon for a BAT amplifier to begin with, do feel free to contact me with reasonable offers. I have a sound track record here ( & Ebay ) as fast trouble free payment/purchases. Thanks everyone, I'm taking my lumps in stride, after all I'm fortunate and blessed in being bale to purchase something of the things that I like, an in that I am grateful for that aspect as well as all comments that I have read here. Hard truths can be good truths if applied in realistic truth I suppose, thank you all........
