Turned Off My Subwoofer ... And My Speakers Sound Great
Get a pair of small REL subs and hook them up to your stereo outputs per REL. Place them on diagonal corners. Fantastic SQ. This was recommended to me by Jacob at the REL helpline.

I was told by a reputable source that the previous owner/designer of Metrum re-purchased the company.  Cees Ruijtenberg

Well, I bought the Vitus RI-100. It's a monster 300WPC integrated amp that weighs-in at 88 pounds. Sounds great with the Revel 228Be. The next upgrade is speaker cables and PC. I have ordered a used Inakustic PC and will be auditioning Audience AU...

auxinput, thanks for the explanation. This helps explain why a fuse retails for $125.Thanks to all for the great suggestions, much food for thought. It is so hard to decide when you can't hear the sound with your own ears.

Jetter, that's an interesting 'cheap' experiment to consider. I am using the DAC2 as a preamp currently. so not sure how the SYS would connect.Auxinput, also a relatively inexpensive to try with a fuse change. I never heard of a fuse change making...

soix,  I spend a lot of my time  listening to female vocalists. Daina Krall, Patricia Barber, Eva Cassidy, Tracy Chapman, Karen Carpenter, Mary Black,  etc. I like a nice focused center image, where I can close my eyes and she standing there in f...

Speedbump6, Thanks for the input. Is there a difference in SQ between the two set-ups or just convenience?

Yes, I just watched an excellent video by Hans Beekhuyzen on this product. Very compelling indeed and at an attractive price. However, I don't see a 12V power supply included or an option for purchase.

Thank-you, this might be better (and cheaper) for me since I have the Benchmark DAC2 already.

djones51, It took me a while to find it. Its miniDsp SHD. Have you heard the SQ? 
Looking for recommendations
Thanks,I will take a look at the Gold Note DS-10. Good point djones51 on the bi-amp limitations. BTW, the NAD is connected with XLRs and the YBA with RCAs.  
Time to upgrade DACs
Well, I stepped up and bought a pair of Revel 228Be speakers. Now I am looking for amplifier recommendations to drive these beauties.  I have two YBA Integre DT (dual transformers), that I will bi-amp them with but am concerned that the Revels wil... 
Time to upgrade DACs
Thanks for the feedback and advice. Sounds like the consensus is to upgrade the speakers and put off the DAC upgrade for now. That said I should have about $5,000 or so to invest in speakers. My YBA Integre DT (2) are 50-watts per channel class A ...
