| The best Subwoofer If you don't mind providing your own amp and crossover, Dunlavy has some not inexpensive Tower Subs that use the same drivers (and cabinets)as the SC-IVa, SC-V and SC-VI with four (4) 10 inch, 12inch or 15 inch drivers per cabinet (depending on mo... | |
| dcs sound Pls1..If I remember correctly, you use a SigTech room correction device. If that is you and you get an upsampler, make sure you modify the SigTech filters to output 24 bit words instead of the dithered 20 bits. | |

| HT vs. stereo pre-amps again Actually, ther is an answer..the Theta CasaNova or Casablanca. If you get the version with digital out, you also get an external black box that is used for volume control. Your output (e.g. from your DAC) can be directly connected to the "black bo... | |
| New formats, same old story? Get 4 identical speakers, full range. Add a processor that supports circle surround (un-encoded) or similar (both Theta and Meridian have music surround processors that apply), turn off the center channel and the sub and you now have a sound syste... | |
