Bookshelf Speakers Sitting On Dual Subs?
@dutchdutchna  You answered some of mine. Thanks for the great information.  
Happen to you? Gear chasing because the fundamentals were wrong.
Not understanding the frequency spectrum. Thinking that a flat room response is the ultimate pinnacle.  We all know how annoying peaks in the bass region can be, but I have since discovered that small peaks (around 3 db) at certain frequencies, in... 
have only speaker level out to sub ... svs micro3000?
I believe that SVS offers speaker level inputs as an option. You need to contact them or a SVS dealer directly.  
Bookshelf Speakers Sitting On Dual Subs?
What is the end goal you are trying to achieve? Louder over all playback levels, more thump? The 8C’s appear to have a sub out, is it full range or do they have low and high pass filter capabilities? The drivers in the 3070’s appear to be on angle... 
Add sub to 802D4s?
Unless you plan on integrating your subs with some type of external crossover, preferably an active one, you will be throwing your money away by adding subs to your current system. If you are not planning on using an external crossover it is usual... 
Best Connection Method for a Sub(s)
When I purchased my first sub I used the high level inputs because it seemed to be everyones recommend method, but just for fun one day I tried to the line level connection and found it to be a better way to go. I found the sound to be a little mo... 
Bass- at what frequency does it change from sounding like a string to just a low tone?
The part of the audio spectrum that makes a note sound like an instrument rather than just a sound is contained mostly in the harmonics. Depending on your crossover point a vast majority of the harmonics are going to be reproduced by your mains an... 
How do you high pass your main speakers?
Ideally you would want to insert a high pass filter AKA electronic crossover, between your preamp and amplifiers. If your amp is an AVR this feature I believe is built into most of them. If you are not using an AVR you have a few options at varyin... 
What is the proper loudness for listening?
At what ever volume makes you happy, but as others have said, louder volumes can produce hearing damage, so if you do play at loud to very loud volumes take frequent breaks and keep your listening sessions short.  
Subwoofer - thoughts on Rythmic F12
In my opinion and experience, you are better off using a line level input. A speaker level signal will have a little more distortion and it will be converted back to a line level signal by the subs speaker level circuitry anyway, but it will still... 
Subwoofer - thoughts on Rythmic F12
In a word, Yes. I have Rythmik, SVS and REL subs in my system and I am currently considering upgrading to all Rythmik subs. The Rythmik is a little tighter than the SVS and much tighter than the REL, which is due to the servo in the Rythmik instan... 
Best €2500 sub purely for music?
I don’t know what brands are available in Europe so I can’t recommend a certain brand. I am also not sure what synthetic music is but my guess is that it is music where the musicians create it by using synthesizers rather that traditional instrume... 
Are big subwoofers viable for 2 channel music?
Normally I would say that if you like the gsg then I would go with the gsg. But your case may be a bit more complex. It appears that the gsg subs are passive so depending on what amp you use, you may not even have low pass capabilities not to ment... 
un-becoming an audiophile
I understand what you are saying. I love listening to music but I have a very difficult time listening to music that has poor SQ. Fortunately there are tools available in the market place that can alleviate and possibly eliminate the issues that ... 
More Bass
I would have thought with the 7" woofers and a rated frequency response of 22-30K Hz, there would have been a bit more bass Mr. Yachts, You mention that you thought there should be a bit more bass, does this mean that the bass is non-existent ...
