Using Two Subwoofers with Two 2-Channel Amplifiers.
My vote would be "yes" to using two sub woofers.In my previous setup I had a "Y" cable to combine the left and right preamp outputs into a single feed to the sub.  That worked well.But with my latest setup, which is much higher end, my dealer and ... 
DAC Selection
I have enjoyed a PS Audio DirectStream DAC just a few weeks after it was introduced and though I've swapped out this-than-and-the-other component in my system over the last 4-5 years, the PS Audio is "a keeper".Besides having great sound quality, ... 
Magico A3 vs. Focal Kanta 2
I have had the Focal Sopra No2's since they first came out, driving them with a C2500/MC452 and am absolutely smitten by the way they sound.  I listen to mostly classical, some rock & roll, some jazz, some world music, and find the Focal's don... 
Can someone explain to me why : Accupahse Equipment is that expensive ?
What is anything "worth"?  Probably what people are willing to pay for it.  It almost sounds silly to say that, but if you look at the resale values for lots of items on Audiogon, most other brands depreciate much faster than Accuphase and McIntosh. 
The 10 Best-Sounding Concert Halls in the World
My wife and I have enjoyed concerts in #1, #2 and #3 on the list from that article, and concur.  We took a quick weekend trip to Boston, heard Anne-Sophie Mutter and the Boston Symphony Orchestra with the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto played at the ... 
I've got the Summertime Blues. Power conditioner necessary?
My system has all digital sources, and I've found that the better the quality the AC power is, the DACs extract more detail with less distortion.I used to have a very nice, modestly-priced Furman unit.  When I upgraded to a PS Audio P10 Power Plan... 
Speaker Upgrade Time...Great Experience.
cbucki,Congrats on the new system!  I spent about a year auditioning all sorts of speakers, when changing from my excellent Totem Fire monitors (just wanted a change).  I was absolutely smitten with the Focal's...so much so, I ordered "sight unsee... 
Sellers adding for PayPal use is plainly BS
I have found that listing items where I include the PayPal and Continental U.S. UPS shipping, takes those two items "off the table", and makes items easier to sell. 
TEKTON OWNERS
I have auditioned the Double Impact speakers, not my cup of tea.But my son in law recently purchased a pair of Mini Lore's and I really like the way those sound. 
Worst Rock Band Ever !!!!
The worst concert I've ever attended, the 1969 Rolling Stones concert in Baltimore, MD.  They came out on the stage at 10:25pm, took their time tuning up their instruments, seemed to be so drunk and/or stoned that they were out of tune, and the co... 
Best audio companies and dealers

Enhancing low frequencies for my system
Do you have access to a decent laptop?  One that you could install software on, and one that has a good-quality USB port?If so, I'd recommend you download REW (Room EQ Wizard), which you will find at: https://www.roomeqwizard.com/  I would also re... 
What is the best HEAVY METAL speaker?
Just to be "funny" I'd say look at Magico speakers, they are constructed with metal cabinets and are quite heavy.But seriously, not my cup of tea, but back in the day I used to sell Klipsch speakers, very efficient and very much loved by "rockers"... 
Which Subwoofer would you choose?
Either of those subs should "fit the bill".  Please note that the Velodyne company is no longer in the subwoofer business.  If you enter "velodyne.com" into your browser, it takes you to the Velodyne LiDAR website, they apparently are in the drive... 
Integrated Amp to match with Magico A3
I evaluated the S5's in my search for a new pair of speakers.  My local Magico dealer had the S5's attached to a powerful solid state amp with an extremely high damping factor, when pushed hard, the S5's "came to life".  When their "high end room"...
