prof,My sub gets the signal from  a PX05 passive crossover for the 2.7s. I hooked it up, placed the sub between the 2.7s and haven't done anything since, except upgrade the preamp and amplifier. Music source is an extensive classical CD collection...

Should I still buy a CD player? Suggest one?

mr-billI spent several weeks auditioning the 3.7 vs the 2.7 speakers using a collection of my classical CDs.Like prof, I ended up getting the 2.7 speakers, but added a SmartSub SS2.2 to extend the bass. IMO, both the 3.7 and the 2.7 needed bass ex...
