Do Mono Block amps provide better sound ??
I run both a stereo amp and mono blocks, not at the same time. The stereo amp is excellent and offers the following advantages...a single amp stand, a single power cord and the ability to hook up one subwoofer with no issues. It also takes up less... 
REL subs with Acoustat 1+1s?
@audiorusty Thanks, that makes sense. I am not sure why you would want to route the signal through the sub x-over and then to the mains vs. off the amp terminals to the sub, and thereby not impacting the main speaker signal...to the Acoustat 1+1’s... 
REL subs with Acoustat 1+1s?
 @james633   Please explain this..the REL will not limit the signal to the mains. Just the sub???? What are you talking about? If you buy a REL, it comes with the ability to adjust the x-over point. 
REL subs with Acoustat 1+1s?
Lot of folk have not heard the new REL subs. The new models are able to keep up with almost all speakers, including stats. The smaller models are IME even better than the larger models, but all will work well with 1+1's. Using the high level conne...

Question is whether 'Better Records' really are better records. To their ears maybe, but does that apply to your ears? One thing is certain, you will pay dearly to find out. Presumably they have a liberal return policy?? If not, then i would keep ... 
REL subs with Acoustat 1+1s?
REL subs use a high level connection at your amp and take the signal off the amp terminal. That is then adjusted at the sub with the x-over on the sub amp controls. You do have the option of using a lo level signal, but the preferred method is the...

Lagonda, your are lucky that your above post has not been 'sanitized'...i certainly believe it should be. Both Raul and I have the same opinion -- you clearly have a high level of frustration, distress and anger...that doesn't belong here.

@geof3  Indeed with the right set up i have heard big Wilsons sound very good in less than enormous rooms. Although like any large speakers, they will still limit you to the room size, albeit less than a lot of other very large systems.

@rauliruegas  Another thing to add to your post, would be to attempt to listen in the room that the speaker is actually going to be placed in. IME the room makes such a huge difference, that anyone who is contemplating buyer a speaker at these pri... 
Best stands so baby doesn't knock speaker over
The other day, i was reaching for an album in my record storage and as I was moving back, momentarily lost my balance and shoved up against my left speaker! This nearly resulted in the speaker falling off the stand and doing God knows how much dam...

@geof3 The new Alexx V is going to be a real contender, because the old model Alexx was a serious step up over the likes of the Alex 2 and XLF, IME. I would think it will need a big room as well, although MF seems to be pleased with the old model ...

@rauliruegas Thanks for bringing to our attention the member from WBF who goes by Lagonda (kps25sc over here). As you well know, he is a major besotted disciple of the guru over there. As you also mentioned, seems like Lagonda had the temerity to ...

Why would I do that? WBF turned into one big YAWN. I still have a few friends who are on the site, but even they are about to leave...too many better ways to spend their time, lol. You just keep on hanging over there....with your guru and the rest...

Like you have posted your information and your avatar...as Raul told you, we don't need another WBF troll here...so go away.

@kps25sc  So they banned a young lady, confusing her with me, nice!! Go away little WBF troll.
