Dedicated circuits
I’m very sorry for my lousy proof-reading of two replies before. OTOH how spell check got “bracket” from “breaker” is beyond me. regardless the take-away is KNOW your panel’s brand or, like me, bring a picture w/you and ask a CSA for confirmatio... 
Dedicated circuits
@immatthewj  ”make sure that [breaker & box brands match.]” Yes. In my limited experience in my previous & current domiciles, I think the wrong brand bracket won’t fit/work. I’ve always brought a picture of the box to avoid that mistake....

What does a subwoofer solve?
Your question is “What does a subwoofer solve?” Answer: your midrange. If you can still borrow those subs, set the XO frequency between 100 & 110.  Yes, depending upon its F3 it can extend your system’s low end and [should] improve your low e... 
Power Conditioning on the Cheap
I’ll add APC (H15) to your list for consideration.   I got mine used. It’s a long story, suffices to say it save my previous pre/pro at a rental w/“ISSUEs” even a dedicated 20A wasn’t enough.    
Why don't upgrade the wires and components inside our units?
Seems to be almost as many opinions as listeners… To name a few tweaks: I’ve rewired speakers to include adding banana jacks to one pair. I’ve replaced DIN jacks -> gold plated RCAs on a mid 80s Meridian. A little later upgraded the wiring for... 
Is Outlaw Audio going to make a new low cost surround sound processor?
@auxinput: I’d love to learn the details about your 976 “…massive modification and recap.” I “graduated” from from a Rotel RSP 1068 pre/pro dying a slow death, one channel at a time to the 975. Later, from the 975 to the 976. Each change was an u... 
Is Outlaw Audio going to make a new low cost surround sound processor?
Important differences/improvements I forgot to mention… the 976 is 4K ready - it’s far more than a 975 w/ balanced outputs. Comes w/two sub outs both XLR & SE though they really just save the user from having to buy/use a splitter More HDMI ...

Ok. I’m sorry I did not know about having to subscribe to my own thread IME when one “starts” a thread, one is automatically subscribed - a new experience compared to the 4 other forums to which I frequent.   
Help, which preamp to buy from my shortlist?
Avoid the Meitner PA-6.  a friend's Meitner PA-6 failed, unrepairable RC circuitry rendered it a $$$$ paper weight!  He loved the SQ but...  
Who Tried Power Conditioners Over The Years and No Longer Use Them Today, Any Why?
High end power cords? I wholeheartedly agree, heavier is better. Beyond that; maybe, but... Read my "compromised hearing" explanation from my previous reply.    I recall from another forum a member having "ah hah moment" from, he claimed,  bass r... 
Who Tried Power Conditioners Over The Years and No Longer Use Them Today, Any Why?
"Ignorance is bliss." in a nutshell, unless your CERTAIN your power feed's voltage is a +/- under 5% 120VAC, I urge you to consider a conditioner w/voltage regulation. My APC H15 SAVED my previous pre/pro from my former* home's electrical system....
