Subwoofer insight.
FWIW - I’m running a pair of SVS SB1000 subs alongside Totem Forests (2 ways and similar sensitivity as your speakers). The subs are receiving a speaker level signal from the amp. Both subs and Forests run "full range" via parallel runs of speaker...

Thanks to @Mahgister.Chopin Nocturnes - Ivan MoravecIf the world were really ending (as some seem to think) this is the music to be listening to:  sublime beauty, order, and transcendent peace in the face of uncertainty and chaos. 
What are you streaming tonight?
How does that work, u? Why does running tape at high speed make a difference??I’m guessing less "information" per cm^2 of tape is a good thing???

Van Morrison - Three Chords & The Truth@dougsat I think you are right about Three Chords....seems like it's gonna bear up to repeated listening. Van KNOWS how to pick a backing band. Great arrangements (as per usual with him). Excellent sonics...

@bdp24 Thanks for the comments.  Another case of "concert-envy".  Well, 2 out of 3 ain't bad.  Don't get me started about Steve Winwood.  Agree with you - one of the greatest rock vocalists (and not a bad GITtar player either...not only organ).  D...

@dougsat Have not heard Three Chords.  I probably have more Van Morrison than any other artist (well, except maybe Dylan) but not that one.  The latest Van M. I spent a lot of time with was Keep It Simple (2008).  I have Born To Sing from 2012, bu... 
Modern Fusion - worth a Listen - Aaron Parks
@mrdecibel FWIW - It seems the aforementioned Jazz Pistols were/are fans too of Weather Report and Heavy Weather in particular.They’ve covered Birdland, Teen Town, & Palladium on various of their studio albums and all three are included on the...

Van Morrison - MoondanceHaven’t listened to this in ages. Sounds as good as when first heard on FM 50 years ago. Timeless.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EW2TfQsSA7Q 
Modern Fusion - worth a Listen - Aaron Parks
@aniwolfe Thanks for posting.  Sampled both.  The Donati, in particular, a tough listen.  Dave Holland's Prism a little friendlier to these ears but lost patience with the longish, slow paced intro.  Horses for courses....From Special Treatment (2...

I'm interested in hearing what "the best" systems sound like, where to go?
Found on Amazon and purchased.

Thank you, mahgister.  Duly noted.  I'll see if I can find the Moravec Chopin.  That's probably of most interest to me.  Best regards.

@mahgister & @pkg1 Okay...I'll bite.  Do you have a currently available piano recording on CD that might serve as reference?  Label, artist, composition, please.  THANKS much.

Thanks for the comments, u. I am new to IQ and not exactly smitten (yet?) but willing to invest more time. Came across them only recently, probably by way of a "similar albums" listing on the AllMusic Guide. I’ll be certain to check out Nomzamo an...
