Single Sub Position
I've never been a fan of subs because I just couldn't really get them to sound right / integrate the way I wanted, until, I placed an SVS PB13 Ultra directly behind my listening seat pointed at my back.  Omg, listening became a visceral experience... 
B&W 705s3 vs Kef Meta R3
Troy, most definitely bro.  This post had me stumped.  I think you might have been correct about the wiring.  I'll report back.   I have the 703 S2 that I got for next to nothing.  I just couldn't figure out why such a difference   I know what... 
Friends hi-fi system not very good, what do you do or say?
You're a troll...  
Best standmounts with a 7" woofer/driver
Check The Music Room (TMR).  Josh has a pair of Fritz Carrera BE's and a pair of Fritz Rev 7's.  They are outstanding speakers that utilize high end scan speak drivers.  They really are great speakers and Fritz is an awesome guy to deal and intera... 
Coda #8, Pass XA25, or Schiit Tyr to replace PS Audio M700
Hi, believe it or not I too have had the PS Audio M700 mono blocs. They were my 2nd venture into audio via desktop (yes, a desktop). 1st amp was a Schiit Vidar. The m700's were powerful but still class D amps. Take a risk, go class A or A-B. I hav... 
Seeking Bookshelf Recommendations
Great thread.  👍   LRS's are awesome in the right application but not what I'd recommend.   I've had the Carrera be's, original tweeter and revised, and I've heard pulsar.  For the money go fritz.  Fritz is awesome to workwith as well.  Honestly... 
Who actually uses digital speakers?
Actives will be the future. Bi and tri amped, crossover done in digital domain, eq settings.  Many times, actives will beat a hodge podge thrown together rig.  System synergy is hard to achieve at times  
Honest Experience on Effects of Subwoofer Please
I cross my mains over at 100hz.  I have an SVS Ultra 13, 155 pound behemothof a sub 12” behind my listening seat.  I can feel kick drums in my chest and even throat.  Music has become visceral.  My stereo can pound you into submission.  It makes g... 
Bookshelf dilemma
How about some ATC SCM 11 V3’s for $1200?  Theres a pair for sale right now  
How much $$ do bells and whistles add to preamp?
I had a Belles Aria integrated amp and loved it!     @rustler , why not go integrated?  Do you already have an amplifier?   I’ve heard Audible Illusions preamps are nice.  If going separates and just starting out, I’f look into tube preamps, id... 
REL Subwoofer to match monitor speakers similar to Raidho X-1s?
T9x would be great, maybe even the t7x.  I had a rel s2 sho and it was too large for the totem arros that I was trying to pair it with. The reason I say this is because the sub would go from too quiet to too loud with 1 click of the volume control... 
Beryllium Tweeters - Your Opinions & Comments ??
If you have the $, the Fritz Carrera BE’s here on Audiogon right now for $2500 are really awesome speakers,  I personally liked this tweeter better than the SB Acoustics BE (Neo magnet)…

Speaker Questions
Polk has had some great speakers in the past!  There only really good ones today are the reserves and the legends.   Lol @ the monitor audio remark.  I love monitor audio!  
OCD audio guy naming shady Audiogon dealers by name
I think the whole world has been on edge for a few years now and its taking its toll on some of us…
