Setting up a swarm
As long as we're swarming: My main system now has two powered subs. Was wondering if the four woofers, built into my main L/R, count as part of the "swarm"? They only go down into the 40hz range but do contribute.Played my Joni Mitchell "Cotton Av...

I think The Cable Company does PCs now. They built their business on lending. 
Integrated for Legacy Audio Focus SE's
Start with a BAT VK-3000SE (150/300 8/4 ohms). If this doesn't work, add a VK-220/225 SE and bi-amp (doubles your power). Bi-amping is extremely easy with the BAT integrated using its pre-outs.BTW, great sound as well.

What I'd like to know is: Why is pro gear better at putting sound onto media than home gear is at taking it off? Steve Guttenberg had a YouTube video yesterday titled " The LAW of DIMINISHING RETURNS is BS". The video was about how uber expensive... 
Are your current amps and other gear the best you've ever had?
My current is the best SYSTEM I’ve ever had. I’ve had components that may-or-may-not be better, but never in an equally matched and balanced SYSTEM. Brown (BEL) 1001 Mk-V monos (on loan), Audio Artistry Dvorak speakers, ARC VT-100 III amp, etc.You...
