| Who are some of elite sub woofers? JL Audio. All the adjustments you need to perfectly integrate, a flat response that covers the notes in music (not just one!) and powerful amplifiers that get the job done. | |

| Ahhh--Problem solved. Adding a REL sub-bass unit... Subs definitely have their place and I am reluctantly becoming agreeable that two are needed - some room arrangements more than others. I disagree that "no system" is complete without a subwoofer. Some systems are so rich that adding a sub is just... | |
| Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K Legacy and The Spendor towers sound incredible with tube amplification. No offense to the people recommending Tekton Encores - I bet they sound great but they look absolutely hideous and will never see the light of day in my listening room. Ther... | |
