Who positions their speakers straight ahead (zero tow in) and why.
Aimed at my shoulders to balance center focus and soundstage.   
Stereophile review of the new Wilson Watt/Puppy
“Too refined for rock music” lol!!!!!  
Which subwoofer should I get?
Taking it one step farther, Wilson and JL both use their own active crossovers with their subs.    link to wilson’s.    https://www.wilsonaudio.com/products/activ/activxo    
BEST SPEAKER THAT COMES TO LIFE AT LOW LISTENING LEVELS
Large efficient speakers are what I would be looking at. Horns with big bass drivers.   
Which subwoofer should I get?
I have a few thoughts as a sub user for 20+ years now. I have heard the brands you are discussing and many others. I am firmly in the camp that all systems improve with prosper implementation of subs.  short answer, will the SVS sound as good as ... 
Auditioned Wilson Sabrina X vs B&W 803D4 and Shocked
The MAC needs to be on the 2 ohm tap for the wilson’s to be optimal but really should not matter. I had the older 802D3 and the Sophia 3 in the same room/system for a direct comparison. On that day I liked the 802D3 better for similar reasons you... 
JBL 4367 = Sleep Denervation
Butros791, Good to hear, I have not heard the 4349 but want 4 of them for surrounds... I watched a YouTube video about their Synthesis home theater speakers and one of JBL’s engineers (I forgot his name) said the 4349 was his favorite speaker due... 
SVS SUB BETTER WITH LOW PASS FILTER OFF
One things for sure… I need to see pictures of the yurt hifi room!   I would think your room would be almost 100% null free other than ground bounce. the La scala having very poor bass extension I am sure aids in the higher “crossover” point.   ... 
SVS SUB BETTER WITH LOW PASS FILTER OFF
If you play just your subs you will probably hear male vocals in your subs this way. If it sounds fine… no big deal. The slope at your amps 80hz might not blend well with your mains. Maybe try a different slope if possible. If the slope is 12db fo... 
I can’t hear the Difference in the change the low pass filter or the volume on my SVS subs
If you are not highpassing your mains every chosen lowpass with make different nulls. You might just be hearing your mains. Run the subs by themselves and see what you think of the different settings. Pull your speaker wires out if needed to run t... 
Selecting Rear Surrounds for 5.1 system
Atmos sends full bandwidth to all speaker channels. So there is justification in using good speakers on all channels. If you highpass to a sub you only need to get down to the crossover point (normally 80hz).    it is just a matter of how much yo... 
Room is way too bright.

Starting my showroom again
Honestly no I don’t. Most places in business now are places that specialize in full theater installs and are more construction based. 2ch in metro areas seems fine as there are so many people and people with money in the area. the online retailer... 
My high pass filter experiment and a couple of questions
There are a number of digital active ones. Something like the mini dspSHD being one of the cheaper options.   If messing around on a computer turns you off a good and cheap analogue model from Sublime Acustics is the K231 ($600). They have a no q... 
My high pass filter experiment and a couple of questions
Honestly not sure I followed your setup wiring or know your equipment. But I have a few thoughts.    #1 I love active crossovers and the ability to highpass. I would not run a system without one these days. If does not improve your system then th...
