DSPeaker Anti-mode 8033 ii works wonders with my new sub
Whart is 100% correct (as was I ;-). You can run two subs off the 8033, but both may receive only the same A + B (summed mono) signal, not separate left or right (stereo) ones. At $500, go for the 2.0 Dual Core. 
TX audio stores in Austin or San Antonio?
I would go to Rythmik Audio in Austin and listen to their great subs. 
mono block or bi-amps which would you pick?
If there are mono amps of which you can afford four, you can bi-amp with mono blocks. But not all speakers benefit from bi-amping, which has more to do with the speaker's crossover than the amps. And not all speakers CAN be bi-amped. Many bi-amper... 
DSPeaker Anti-mode 8033 ii works wonders with my new sub
For stereo subs, the Anti-Mode 2.0 Dual Core is necessary. There are a number of them available used right now for around $500. 
mono block or bi-amps which would you pick?
What does "bi-amps" mean? Are the speakers bi-ampable? If so, you can do so with either two stereo power amps or four mono blocks. Mono amps and bi-amping are not necessarily mutually exclusive.

Exactly, winoguy17. But since jnorris made an overly-broad, sweeping generalization (that all LP's are made from digital sources, and that all new albums are recorded digitally), let me refute that allegation. There are many, many new albums being...

Recordings with incredible effects or imaging that we may not know about
Absolutely, slaw! Once Ry (my favorite living guitarist) heard his first Water Lily recording (which prompted him to ask "Why don't my albums sound this good?"), he was determined to be recorded by Kavi Alexander, the label’s owner and recording e... 
Vinyl from Barnes & Noble
From inside the record business:At the end of the original LP era (the late 80’s/early 90’s), retailers like Tower were allowed to return a certain percentage of their LP purchases (THEIR purchases, not those of their customers) to their distribut... 
Equalization
What a great product, George! It was the nature of the filters in the Quads that made them so useful---shelving vs. roll-off, etc. I'm going to look further into the  
Whats playing on your system today?
Oh man, ozzy, Quicksilver's version of "Pride Of Man" (a Hamilton Camp song) is KILLER! They were good live too, one of the best SF bands of the late-60's. 
Set me straight, don't pull punches
I knew a band with a kiddie-ride (the ones they useta have in front of grocery stores) in their living room. They then added a "Big Boy" from a Bob's restaurant to the décor. They were a hard-drinkin' buncha guys, and would go furniture "shopping"... 
Audio Horizons fuses.... won’t buy them again...
Chow charges to repair an apparently defective (at best; it could also be just a poorly designed one), two month old product? We have not reached a new low?!
