Gonna want something twisted. I use a 500 ft roll of in wall cable for all my needs . Works as well as any snake oil.  
Eh hem!...Subwoofers... What do ya know?
I think everyone is on the right track relating to their own likes . I agree having lots of power to mains is important. My mains are 3 way bi amped . 150w solid state to the 15” woofer and 100wch tube to the horns, tweets. Asking the woofers to r...

As per the instructions i received . I put a powered sub on my listening seat and then played a 30hz tone . While it and only it was playing i went around the room with a measurement app on my iphone . I looked for hotspots reaching high and low e...

Best integrated tube amplifier, under $3,000.00. No phono needed. Could be used, too.d
The cronus mag ii is an outstanding amplifier .I highly recommend it . Very detailed with accurate imaging .  I’m fed up with buying nos tubes . Its a total crap shoot. I am going to stick with new after this. New mullards sounded woody with rolle... 
Diving into the world of tubes...help needed!
I also agree with going rogue . Service from Nick is spot on and the quality is top notch . Glorious sound stage .

I would get the new one on a discount anyways. Unless youre too angry . Been there ,you buy one or two each of the big three. Then you go to mercedes after your done playing games.

I have 6 subs aligned now . And i can see the benefit of more of them. I set them in the obvious spots as per Tims suggestions. Unreal. I could see having 2 more still. Especially being it is a large room and they have to all be set quite low comp...

Preamp with HDMI inputs
I used to be in the same boat looking for an extractor . There were no essence available at the time . But as i got researching , i think that unit has had other  names and packaging. I may be wrong but no name made in china. I came across the nad... 
$30K DAC in a $70K system - wise or ridiculous?
Imo 30k for a dac is a giant waste of money. There is remarkable equipment for a quarter that price. There is probably an 800 dollar one that sounds the same to your system. If i were to throw that money away i would save a life or give it to fami... 
Can you put a Krell in an apartment?
You will get all the legally allowed low bass extension you desire . And likely will not draw more than 8 amps anyways. I’m waiting for the electric utility to switch my panel so i will have the 2x 20amp plugs available . Right now i am running 60...

I went around my room today with one sub running a 30hz tone placed in the listening chair . I went around the room and identified all the hotspots with an iphone app like a spectrum analyzer. I like being able to reach around high and low to see ...

Yes Tim two 18” and two 10” .  In front of the 18s requires no augmentation from the 10” Its what they do for the rest of the room. By having them faintly adjusted so they are invisible to point at, creates sort of a swarm effect in areas that fel...
