| Most expensive Audio disapoinment? Jeff, thanks for the compliment. I sold off most of the stuff in virtual system, but hope to one day build another system in that messy room.I've never tried the Stealth Varig but have read a lot of good things about it. I'd like to hear how it co... | |

| Powered sub into Power Conditioner? A lot of people including myself even keep their power amps off their confitioning units because they sometimes restrict dynamics. I'd think a subwoofer amp would benefit from going directly into the wall as well.Best thing to do is try it to see ... | |
