| I finally added a second REL Sub Just went this direction, and am waiting for delivery of two Rythmik subs. I have a REL now and may sell it or see if I can either add it as a third or use in another room. | |
| Who here has a Raven amplifier and what speakers do you have paired with it Apogee Full Range. I remember sitting about half a foot away and really enjoying the headroom. | |
| Tube vs. Solid State Amplifiers @ebm I'm with you on this one. This topic has been covered to death.Perhaps a thread on chocolate vs. vanilla could break some new ground. | |

| Cary SLI-80 or SLI-100? Here's a reply I got from Billy at Cary Audio half a year ago when I asked him about the difference:"The SLI-80HS is a versatile amp. You can switch from triode mode to UL mode on the fly. A lot of people cannot discern the difference in sound qua... | |
| Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed? Has anyone compared the drivers on the Tektons vs. the Salks mentioned here? Above and beyond design, how do the parts compare? | |
