Your experience of moving to two subs
What sounds good to me is what’s optimal in my system. For me, the saying is, What sounded good to me is what was optimal in my system, until I learned about how to improve it. While I don’t want to be on an endless hamster wheel, this is a... 
Frequency response measurement
REW and then search YouTube for how-to videos.  
Any Thoughts?

Older vs. newer REL subs
@shahram I got two Rythmik subs. In addition to the REL, I was able to position and adjust them to within +/- 4db between 20 and 400 Hz. Sounds excellent. The Rythmiks' adjustable phase was what made it all possible.  
Tyler Acoustics and Salk
@labguy The Ascends beat out the Salks, but it's important to be specific. The Salks I had were the SS6M -- and they beat out a lot of the other speakers I mentioned. However, the Be tweeter on that speaker was too much for my room, and so the RAA... 
Tyler Acoustics and Salk
I've compared Salk with Dynaudio, Martin Logan, Fritz, Ascend Acoustics, Klipsch RP 600M but not with Tyler. Tyler intrigues me.  
Why do almost all women today hate home audio?
Your generalization is as offensive as if I had denigrated you for watching MSNBC and/or The View. No. As recent lawsuits have proved in devastating detail, FOX is a right wing propaganda outfit. If you don't see that, I suggest you read up on ... 
Looking for high power warming sounding tube amps
+5 Quicksilver. I have the Mono 60's and they're delightful in the midrange. That said, I also have the Pass XA25 and its mids are luscious and intimate. Close your eyes and you might swear you're listening to a tube amp.   
Your experience of moving to two subs
The oomph is not the goal for me, either. The goal is evenness, tightness, naturalness. It's like having a room with two vents for heating/cooling rather than one. It is about distribution of waves, in either case. Guessing about subs is an infin...

Omega speakers -- mostly sold out, all the time?
Yes, I've heard they sound good. That's why I was concerned they were all sold out. All the time. I know better now.

This thread is like an MRI capable of revealing every troglodyte, misogynist, sexist, Fox-viewer, and neanderthal out there.   
How to connect monoblocks to a single REL sub with ONE RCA input
@linndec Don't be sorry if that's the way it seems to you. You're mistaken. At least for my room. And you understand that generalizing about this is pointless, since the room's particular dimensions are critical to the number of subs.  I've googl... 
Yes, digital cables matter too
@baylinor Did you get the filtering box too? The USB Cable IV is the cable?
