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... 
Any Brands You “Hate” because of a bad dealer experience many years ago?
I'll see your Z1 & raise you a Yammy XS11 Special. Luxman is the brand that I see and just pass by hurriedly. Dealer had nothing to do with it. I bought it (R115 receiver) to replace a Harmon Kardon 730. I HATED it. No bass line but a thump. ...

Bought the wrong subwoofer!
@ozzy62  That's why I backed off of the idea. Call SVS. They should know  
Bought the wrong subwoofer!
I’m not sure that is a problem. The sub itself should attenuate the signal by setting the crossover and the gain/ volume. This is off the top of my head thinking but I have had my coffee. So I can’t even use that as an excuse if I am. BTW what in... 
Speakers for Hegel H95 that could use its full potential.
60 wpc is plenty of power for home stereo. Pick the one you like.  
Bought the wrong subwoofer!
