Musical subwoofer under $2000
I own 2 JL e110’s in my setup and they work wonderfully with my Raidho XT-2’s. Highly recommend them. Bought them in high gloss for around $1,500 each several years ago, I think the price has gone up to about $2,000 each. I think you are right n... 
Was 1971 the high point of popular music?
I forgot one more: NRPS New Riders of the Purple Sage.  One of the best that year!    
Was 1971 the high point of popular music?
@tony1954 Yes, my bad, should have seen those, not sure how I missed them!  
Was 1971 the high point of popular music?
The answer is a big YES!  1971 was probably the peak in popular music. You left out the amazing Skull & Roses by the Grateful Dead!  So many great albums.  Why?  Because it was the baby boom generation. You also left out: Imagine by John Le... 
Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One.
@bob70  Damn that's a shame!  The show that I saw went smoothly, they were fantastic.  They did the entire album, then a couple of encores, the last being The Knife.  An incredible show!    
Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One.
Mine would be: Genesis The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. 1- Has to be a double album, more music!  2- It probably helps that I saw Genesis perform the album at the NY Academy of Music on Dec. 7th in 1974 (on Broadway!), in the 11th row (what a coin... 
SVS or REVEL Subwoofer
Re: high level inputs vs low level-- I would check some hifi blogs about this.  On whatsbestforum.com, the suggestion is that low level might be the better way to go.  Personally I have not tried this out, but Kal Rubinson, who is a senior editor ... 
SVS or REVEL Subwoofer
I would check out REL's HT lineup.  Obviously great subs, at a very reasonable price.  After my Paradigm sub ($2000) died, I decided that I didn't want to spend that much (just like you apparently) on something that might die in a decade.  The sub... 
Mazzy loves Little Feat!
Lowell George also produced "Shakedown Street" by the Grateful Dead.  I'm a big Dead fan and huge Little Feat fan, but don't like this Dead album, except of course "Fire on the Mountain".  
I Hate Moving
I have a similar situation.  I am moving out of state to a much smaller place (retiring).  I have 18 pieces of original equipment, everything from a Thorens TD-160 turntable, to a Sansui 7070 receiver, to a Monitor Audio 5-channel speaker setup, t... 
subwoofer buzz - how to eliminate it
forget the springs. all you need is the Auralex.    
subwoofer buzz - how to eliminate it
all you need is the Auralex.  the sub, including the feet, will sit on top of the platform.  simple stuff.  it keeps the sub from radiating onto the floor, which brings all kinds of issues, like rattling floor boards, etc.  it works very well for ... 
subwoofer buzz - how to eliminate it
hopefully you can fix the buzzing noise.  but you would definitely benefit from having a Auralex Sub-Dude-II isolation platform for the sub.  It isolates the sub from the floor.  great, inexpensive ($60) product that works.      
How do you find time to enjoy your $$$ speakers and system?
Retire!  And make sure that you have a room dedicated to music listening.  I have a dedicated listening room that I blast music and then in the adjoining room watch sports (muted of course).  It's bliss.  And the wife doesn't mind at all.  Because... 
Small, Effective Subwoofers?
Surprised that you would need subs for these speakers.  Maybe you don't have the right amplifiers.
