That's a topic best for car audio forums. :)  
Dual Subwoofers: close together?
@brf is rightBut if you can afford a HT system and dual subs, splurge a little and get something like OmniMic. :) There’s a secret though. Put the sub in your listening location, then move the mic around to try to find the best sounding speaker lo... 
New Parasound A21 VS Mark Levinson #23
The Parasound is a fantastic modern sounding amp in all respects. Robust, powerful, quiet, neither euphonic nor dry or sterile. I would strongly recommend it based on age alone. Best,E 
Horns: Why don't they image well?
@roxy54 Ooooh, my bad. I meant to post "Why do horns image SO well." I guess I screwed that up... << runs and hides >>  
Class D is just Dandy!
@maplegrovemusic I don't find good digital amps bright or fatiguing today. In the late 1980's I was listening to some digital amps that sure were though! I don't know how old the B&O/ICEpower designs are, but that's what I listen to every day ...

You get to have 3 pieces: 2 speakers and 1 piece of electronics + Turntable...
Oh, come on @elizabeth - Anything that large should have a built in 8-track. :) 
Does anyone know of an smps for audio...

Preamp break-in
Yes they need to play music, but the amps don’t have to be on. :)Set the volume level to normal listening volume.  
Parasound Halo P
The P6’s DAC is more of a convenience than anything special. The pre itself is meh. The Parasound Zdac and Integrated have much better DACs. The P7 is a much better pre overall. If you are sticking to 2-channel, consider the Mytek Brooklyn or Manh...
