How does a REL subwoofer add dimensionality and depth to a sound system?

DISCUSSION: "It only comes out at night". Does anyone else have this experience!?
@kmckenn I also have a power conditioner but maybe it has less to strain out at night. I don’t know. But There is probably more to it also. IE, even though I am retired I find it hard to get into listening during the day. I feel like I need to be... 
DISCUSSION: "It only comes out at night". Does anyone else have this experience!?
Its said to be because the power grid is not as congested at night due to closed businesses. Therefore the grid has less pollution. As to cars running better @cd318 , I hadn't thought about that since I was a kid with my 1st car. Indeed that car ... 
What, in your opinion, should the rules be for YouTube Reviews?
@rsf507  It's worse than that. They didn't even have a sample to listen, so they only used pictures of the inside. This according to the OP. I agree with his assessment and yours. You cannot judge the sound by listening to a YT video or looking a...

Higher powered but efficient amp with the imaging of a Pass XA-25?
I agree with @ghdprentice . You are all over the map You have gone from 25wpc to 250wpc and from 97db floor standers to 85db bookshelf speakers. You are trying to fill a big room but that won't be done with bookshelf speakers. Changing amps isn't ... 
TV Mounting Dilemma
Tapcon concrete screws. 1/4 " x 2 3/4 . hex head or flat head, whichever suits the bracket (probably hex head.) You won’t need longer than 2 3/4 because you will likely hit a block core.. Go through the wood into the block wall. Drill hole straigh... 
How do you know when a stereo sounds good?
Stereo sounds good If I am engaged with the music, Engaged means, Not reading, Not typing & Not watching a movie, etc. IOW you are into it. How do I know if I'm into it? I move in time. I tap my feet in time. I play drums on my chair arm. If ... 
Bought the wrong subwoofer!
I think bass is one of the last things audiophiles understand I remember a time before subwoofers. Never had a sub nor needed it til 15-20 yrs ago. But I remember back in the late 70's early 80's when the notion of taming down the bass so as to...
