I was set on svs, demoed the couple of svs and for music the rel t9i sounded far superior. Went to another audio store, demoed the t9i against comparable JL model. For music, rel wins for me. Have not demoed in HT. Rel just sounds tighter and more musical to me and wife agreed. Guess it's all personal preference.
subwoofer to digital music and movies
I am a bit confused on how to best play music and watch movies with my new subwoofer. My recent purchase was an Earthquake Supernova MIV 15 inch sub. My 2 channel music listening is all digital via Benchmark DAC1 used as a preamp and for home theater using my Marantz AV7005 preamp. Question is: how do I best connect the subwoofer such that it is part of the 2 channel listening experience (Benchmark) and playing movies using my Marantz preamp?
