Vandersteen 2Wq subwoofers with M5-HP crossovers - help needed
@bondmanp   Surprised you would be so cavalier as to use the setting on the M5-HP sticker! 😈 As I posted previously, you should realize ample bass and good integration with your main speakers by setting the crossover to 10k.  You can then adjust t...

@sgordon1  What?  Love the sarcasm.😆 
Why do many discussions about sonic performance disintegrate into technical discusions?
@david_ten   I believe you are missing the point!  The Greeks under Alexander sought to "uplift and civilize" the savages of the East by imposing the superior? Greek culture on Eastern societies.  That was the whole point of the Hellenistic Age.  ...

@innaI believe Elizabeth was referring to the far east...specifically China, India, Pakistan. Not mush contact between classical Greek society and those folks!😲

Amp away for 20 year upgrade...back-up amp to the rescue
That sounds like a good approach.  In all of my modded and stock equipment, I have opted for the modifiers or designers who emphasized the robustness of the power supply.  Music has an "effortless" quality to it through such gear. 
Speaker audition recommendations?

Amp away for 20 year upgrade...back-up amp to the rescue
@whitestix   I hope you post the results of the 5400 project. There are quite a few A'Goners who are prejudiced against modifying gear as they fear it will reduce the resale value when they decide to move on to other gear.  Perhaps some will rethi... 
Amp away for 20 year upgrade...back-up amp to the rescue
@whitestix   The Adcoms are ripe for modifying. They are a good, solid, robustly built amp with room inside for a modifier to work his/her magic.  You are fortunate to have a DIY friend with the expertise to do the mod.  It was many years ago that...

 @minorl            Congrats on owning so much fine gear! Those are some amazing amps in your bullpen.

@stereo5   Glad you posted here.  How is your cj amp doing?

@arcticdeth   Good question about faceplate.  I saw pics on the SMc site where the faceplate is changed.  I guess I'll leave that to Steve and Patrick.
