Can I mismatch subs?
I'd save up and get another 113 or sell and match the 112's.If your system is 2 channel then smaller is beter.Less depth but and dynamics but more tonal accuracy.Placement and integration is a bitch no matter what and mixing and matching probably ... 
Best Used under $300 2 Channel Amp
I sold Adcom for 6 years.Good sound for the buck.B&K is also good.NAD I am not sure about the series.Never a Carver guy.Newer version of amps pre's your talking those names.One question is how much use they got and if older if caps have dried ... 
Modern day female jazz recommendations
Forgot to mention Carrol Kidd in last post here.I like a lot of Tracey Kent and her husband tenor man Jim Tomlinson usually backs her and she shows up on his CD's-very Prez/Zoot/Harry Allen line of as opposed to Webster/Hawkins lineage).Roberta Ga... 
Subwoofers for Magnepan 20.1s?
You didn't mention price but with Maggies,Quads,NL's without built in subs you have a need for speed.You'll be happier if you give up octave or epth for transparency.I have been fan of REL's older series (or a spin off company MJ Acoustics) becaus... 
How Important is 240hrz processing verus 120 Hrz?
Thanks Mark.You seemed to make th picture clear.But it's like computers get in at price point that is high or not wait for an end to development or not and it never ends.That really is nice about standard 2 channel no BS audio.You might get some n... 
WHAT'S THE BEST SOLID STATE PREAMP FOR $3000 ??
In your case Brytson.But that Placette is suposed to be a killer.Going to replace my KRC2 when I get chance but want tubes and polarity so BAT is best for me.I would sound killer with your rig s well but you said SS.CheersChazz

Pathos Classic One MK2 or PrimaLunaDialogue ll ?
Also just read about Prima Luna.But at some pint you could add second Pathos for I think 170 wapc.Get to tube roll too.Chazz 
laptop headphone socket out to amps
Check out Audiomagus for cheap DAC's.They have the KingRex which has T amp for sens speakers and built in DAC.But you can get one for $89 that is better than one on sound card.Also check out APE MP3 format as alternative to FLAC just to know what'... 
Bi-amp vs. Mono
You'll need x-over for horizontal.More power from vertical as usual the power is doubled whereas horizontal is 150%.But if your not real power hungry speaker wise bi-amp can be nie.Been wanting my buddy to bi-amp his Maggie/Bryton combo with their... 
Which separates would you choose Adcom v Anthem?
I'd go listen.I sold Adcom for years and while I don't think their build quality is always up to snuff (not so much in amps/pre but especially thier Cd players but some electronic contacts could be better).I just didn't think Anthem was all that g... 
dali vrs. harbeth
Check out the system with Helikon 300 monitors in systems.Guy has like 5 times the price of superb gear.Harbeth is superb but going and listening to both would be best.I'd throw Usher 718's in their for bang for buck.But Harbeth people are like Sp... 
Upgrade from Benchmark Dac?
No names on these PC's.Being the cable skeptic I'd like to hear some names.Biggest bang for lest buck given match with this unit?Chazz 
David Byrne & Brian Eno
Gotta listen again but wan't blown down.Not that "Bush Of Ghosts" was anywhere near TH's "Buildings And Food" or "Remain In Light" which is TH's Magnum opus (damn I wish I hadn't missed that tour with Worel,Belew et al. led ot paired down great Li... 
Which used Merlin VSM offers best bang for buck??
Thanks again.Bobby told me (less sarcastically) that best is best.Said that used MXe is way to go if I can swing it as though there is the ability to upgrade and it will improve 100% lead out of sp[eaker or Super isn't possible.Guess I would shoot...
