AVA Vision Set 400 v Belles SA-100
I'm about to jump on a used SA-100. What did you end up getting?  
setup
RCAs from the Denon pre out section to the Arcam inputs. There's an option on the Denon to turn off it's onboard amps.  
Matching Dali Epicon with these amps?
I have the Opticon 8. They're quite good. Also thinking about giving them a little more power.  
Super fun and silly video

Be a little difficult to give an honest review when the friendly customer who was nice enough to drag his speakers in to be tested is sitting right there watching you! He did his best though. I liked the ’if you like that sort of thing" with a sli... 
A perfect song? What are your choices?

Dumbest cable question
@noske I would hope you are being funny but these days you never know. Is this from the same science class that says men can menstruate and have babies?  
Homage to those who are pleased with your audio rig

My subwoofer trials and tribulations.
@soix I really don't know! This one bit of instruction would have saved me literally months of frustration and bad feelings. I was even beginning to think I was deaf to bass! @ohlala I think I'm pretty close on placement but of course willing to ... 
Can anyone hear the difference when you add REL subwoofers when playing two channel
I am going to expound a bit on my original statement of a year's time to integrate. I had never had subwoofers in any iteration. Not in a vehicle even. I had followed RELs instructions in the manual for setting these up. Using the hi level speakon... 
Hey - What Happened to the Beware of Viking Acoustics Thread
@nonoise you mean like lies about the origins of a certain virus or the efficacy of alternative treatment options than the ones prescribed by the government?  
Hey - What Happened to the Beware of Viking Acoustics Thread
Now maybe some will consider the dangers of shutting down speech, even that which you don't like. It always comes down to who decides what '"truth" is.

Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding
When I first discovered old Pink Floyd, you know, before DSOM and The Wall I thought it was self-gratuitous overindulgence and bizarre. Today I can't get enough of it. With the discovery of streaming, I have been opened up to a lot of things I nev...
