1 sub? 2 subs?
Gthirteen, thanks for the clarification. I have a friend with dedicated home theater in a custom built room who uses two Sunfire subs. The sound in the room is excellent, without the subs calling any unnecessary attention to themselves. Your expla...

Dealer Bias: Do They Really Add Value?
Short story. My friend recently spent about $150,000 on two stereo systems. After buying the first system from one high end dealer we were having lunch across the street from another high end dealer that my friend had never been to. Strangely enou...

Forgot to mention Audio Physics' top of the line, damn good sound as well.

Gmorris, maybe you have heard the Sunfire in carefully set up surroundings, but I have heard it many times in 3 different well designed listening rooms in NYC, and every time it was more thud than tone. Now granted, they may not have taken the tim...

Dem, Can you give me a little more detail in your set up of the racing cones please? I have my Strata III with itsspikes directly into my wood floor and wonder if there is a better set up, (I can live with a few holes in the floor, but not dull so...

Replacing Rel Sub Cable

NoMoney, you make a good point as usual, I have considered switching to the 9000ES myself for the SACD playback, but was simply pointing out that the $500 difference can be an important factor to many people. As far as the CD playback is concerned...

Mikec is correct as usual. 
1 sub? 2 subs?
Milo, I have heard the combo of Sonus Faber Concertos and a REL sub, and have not heard a better match yet, especially for a music oriented 5.1 channel set up. As far as two subs, get one good one first (REL), see how it goes, and then consider tw... 
Absolute Best DVD Player?
NoMoney, GeeVee, I think we should clarify something. The Pioneer DV-37 is arguably in the top 2 or 3 whenit comes to video quality. It outperforms the "legendary" DV-09, and it takes a high definition projector to possibly see any difference betw...
