Schiit Saga and headphones
Yep, use the second set of saga outs to go to a headphone amp of your choice. Magni is great, as well as JDS Labs Atom and Monolith liquid spark all come to mind for under $100. Have fun! 
Adcom GFP-710 to Schiit Freya - upgrade?
Yes, got in my saga a couple days ago and right off the bat the build quality is very very good for the price, bigger and heavier than you think. You can tell the thing is quality stuff. Gonna have to wait until next week to plug it in though! :( 
Do audiophiles hate large subwoofers?
OK, so seems like not a problem at a fundamental level, but perhaps more of a perception and aesthetic issue (kinda like the pro gear vs. audiophile gear). 15/18 inch sub woofers are big and you can't necessarily hide them in the corner like an 8 ... 
This Schitt is totally refreshing in the world of high end audio!
Just got my saga in last night. Haven't had a chance to hook it up yet, but my oh my I am impressed with the build quality. It's bigger than I thought, as well as very heavy. This is a substantial unit. If it sounds as good as it looks, I will be ...

Audio Doctor goes to Axpona observations so far
That's disappointing to hear about the Vandersteen 9. Was it just not pressurizing the room? The bass is supposed to be State of the art.

You check out the Vandersteen system nine? 
Considering Vandersteen 3a Signatures
+100!!!!I'm of the opinion that a used pair of 2cs or 3a Sig's with  pair of 2wqs might be the greatest bang for the buck in high end audio. 
Schitt turntable anyone?
Hey Cel, what cart were they using? Also, I assume the Mani Freya aegir monoblock combo? 
I feel bad for speaker manufacturers
Yeah the DCM time windows look a lot like the vandersteen model 2s and 3's. Not surprising since I believe they were built on the same principal -time/phase correctness...

Considering Vandersteen 3a Signatures
The 3A Sig should have the better mid range driver (that is being used in the quatro and Treo) than the 2ce sig 2, as well
