Young audiophile metal head looking to level up speaker choice
@killingforcompany  Unless I missed it, you never stated a budget.   
Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp?
But there is a quick setup button on the back of the sub.  @rwwear Are you sure of this? He is using the DD, not the DD plus. There is an auto-eq function that can be done pretty quickly using the remote on the DD. I don't see anything in the m... 
Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp?
It has composite video out for on-screen display. It does not connect to a computer. The computer connections are for software updates. It does require the remote and on-screen display to set everything up. It runs frequency sweeps that you can se... 
Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp?
The microphone connects to the plate amp. There is also a video output that you connect a monitor to. You would be best printing a copy of the manual for the sub and following what it says. The manual for the SMS-1 is pretty similar. There is a lo...

WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR?
@calvinj  I know that we met a couple of years ago. I am trying to understand why you let what other people think of equipment or how much others spend on it impact you in any way. If you do, that's on you and you need to look within and understa... 
WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR?
Why are you so triggered by what others say or think? And so much so that you have to repeat the topic over and over. As you say, we are all grown men, so grow up and get over it. YOU are the only one in control of how you react to what others say... 
Do you think driver “break in” is real?
https://gr-research.com/driver-burn-in-facts/ Danny Richie includes multiple measurements of drivers at differing states of burn in / use. This article would certainly support that drivers do "burn in" over time.  
Can you touch the tubes?
I heard that licking the tubes will give you deeper sound stage, and better channel separation! but you can only lick them counterclockwise Ahhhh!!! A man of experience. Lick one tube and you're a tube licker for life. You and @tubebuffer must... 
pricing Classe SSP 25 (Esoteric DV50S)
A review of sold DV-50s on HiFi Shark shows them going from between $800 and $1200. and the Classe between $300 and $600. Having sold a DV-50s within the last couple of years, those sale prices are in line with reality for what you can expect to g... 
Integrated Question
Don't spend a penny on new equipment or cables until you have verified your set up is not the problem.  It could be as simple as the speakers, subs, or your listening seat are in a null. It could be that there are phase issues between the mains a... 
Legacy Audio I-V2 anyone?
I owned an iV-4 Ultra and an iV-2 to tri-amp a custom pair of Signature SE using their Wavelet 2 processor. The amps are uncolored and very powerful. I moved up to a pair of internally tri-amped Aeris. Had I stayed with the Signatures, I would hav... 
Legacy Audio Focus SE Bi-Amp or Not Bi-Amp
Sounds like you need a line attenuator for the Peachtree amp to balance the outputs.  https://www.behringer.com/product.html?modelCode=P0C9G This would be an inexpensive way to try it out. The pre out of your Luxman would need to be converted to... 
Does it make sense to "ignore low ball offers"?
I respond to every offer I receive. If I find the offer really low, I will just say "No, thanks for your interest." If they are really interested, they will make a better offer. Negotiation can start from there. I have made more than one sale that... 
Fun With Cable Risers
 using risers simply doesn't hurt anything. Worst case scenario, your cables are better organized.  Bingo. Having a bit of OCD, I like things organized and looking a certain way. I spent next to nothing on them and they accomplish what I want t...
