So, Ozzy, you managed to do the calibrations without help from DEQX?I am reading the manual. It is pretty detailed, but seems doable.(I still haven't finished reading it completely). My biggest concern is interpreting the graphs. Not so much the d...

Thanks Al/Ozzy.Since were still encased in snow here in the NE, GardenerBob hasn't been doing much gardening. So, after a sunny Friday afternoon, I have been aquainting myself with the DEQX. I still have to go through the Agon thread, but it reall... 
Cables for rear surrounds

Add a Subwoofer to my Vandersteen 1ce s or replace with Revel Concerta2 F36

@mac,Oh, must everything be flat! 
Used Preamp on a budget advice please.
You could also get a used McCormack Preamp. 
Others experience re: subs and Magmepan 20
+1 for Akg. I think the Vandersteen subs coupled with the crossovers will be the best possible combination for your Maggies.But, since you were asking not for recommendations, but opinions regarding subs, I would have to say that whether ' they f...

@2channel, I thought it was funny.@bigkidz , I wish you would spend some time with John Rutan at Audioconnection. He isn't like a dealer, but a kindred spirit.B
