Medical emergency, I need the money and it's..well it is what it is

Pro audio stores are the only ones that sell them. I got mine on Reverb from legendary audio pro in NYC. I bought them blind based on reviews and measurements. I figured they would be an easy resell. Maybe you would like Janszen speakers if you li...

Dutch and Dutch 8c, forget the sub you won’t need it in that small room. You won't need the amp or preamp or DAC either just a source.

If you want electronic equipment made to produce highest quality sound with no other concerns try Genelec 8361 or Neumann KH420. Dutch and Dutch 8c or Kii3. Cost a bit more than $10K but you can ditch the amp. If you want to stay with passive Reve...

Looking for a vinylesk sounding DAC
Since you're open to other options get  a Topping DX7 Pro , ditch everything else and implement some software filters on your computer to give vinyl sound. I can't believe all this pile of components for headphones.  
Best way to hook up REL sub with single RCA input to preamp/amp combo?
What I meant was what the crossover was set to on the subwoofer. If you connect only the left or right out you are getting either the left or right stereo channel. If your crossover is set for sub bass it doesn't matter since that's mono. Some sub...
