Fathom 113 no highpass filter
Hi Bob,and that's a good thing correct, as the active high pass would relieve the mains of bass duty(or most)and let the mains do more of what they like efficiantly,correct. 
Fathom 113 no highpass filter
Thanks guys,the fog has lifted somewhat,Kal your right as I use a Arcam AV-8 for movies and I use the arcam's X-over instead of the other JL's(4) which also go thru the 50a's.For some reason I keep thinking I can't use an ext X-over with the 50a's... 
Fathom 113 no highpass filter
Kal,Okay,yes it can be bypassed but should a person use a ext x-over with the subs even though I have passive x-overs in my 50a's.I can see using an active X-over with speakers that don't have crossovers in them. 
power conditioners
That's why the Torus is a keeper for me,it's not a little improvement,it's a huge improvement,I use to use separate hydras for components amd amps all on dedicated lines.Now two Torus(s)20a for components and a 60a for my amps.Best investment I've...

Using 2 Subwoofers
I found in my 11X15 room,one sub was nice,but with two it adds a real nice blanket of bass for the music to lay on.It definately sounds complete.I also noticed alot with one sub DD-15,if you moved from your listening spot even 6"the bottom end wou... 
Best Subwoofer you've ever heard???
I really like my JL 113s,I did have two DD-15's ,I only had one f-113 at the time and I have to say she musically blew my DD's out of the water musically.One JL 113 did that, I was so impressed I purchased 3 more.I could only imagine what the JL g... 
Bryston pro series SST2 amps vs.r regular SST2 's
If you bought from a pro dealer they would be cheaper just as the consumer models,you can save quite a bit going that route. 
Looking for better Power Conditioner than my Tice
35,000,I dont' mind paying 3-5000,my Torus(s)do me just fine. 
LessLoss Signature vs Synergistic Python CX
You don't have to pay for all the major advertising either,plus delivered to your door.I haven't used the latest Shunyatas,but the lessloss DFPC smoked my Anaconda helixes and python helixes,they definatelycleared the way musically.In fact,I chang... 
best cd player to match Bryston 4bsst square ?
I did audition a ARC ref-5(I liked it a whole lot)I do use a BP-26(I like alot)they are both really good,but totally different in their presentations.I'll probably keep the 26 and hopefully get a ref-5 comewinter.Nice to swap them out depending on... 
best cd player to match Bryston 4bsst square ?
Interesting,as I have the 28s also in my setup and she soundsgreat to me,perhaps we all hear differently,that other CDP was over 8000.00(not that price makes it)and I had wanted that one for over two years,but it was my ears that sold me onit.Have...

Did you audition a BCD-1,believe it or not I preferred it over an AR,and that was the one I wanted for quite awhile.I'd see if you could do a home audition. 
Subwoofer placement
I agree with with Tom as that is where YOU sit.If you move from that spot(even a foot)you will hear a big change in the bass.Two subs even out the layer of bass,so if you move,it sounds more consistent.I'd never go back to one sub.try putting her ... 
oppo 83 se or oppo 83
I went with the SE as my Arcam AV-8 doesn't have HDMI.I use the analog outs of the SE to my AV-8 for Bluray,It has excellent sound and I use the HDMI out of the SE to my TV.Superb picture and sound,quite a big step up compared to my 139 Arcam,whic...
