Subwoofer solutions.
Thanks for the input Steuspeed and Mdhoover. I should have mentioned that back in my two channel set-up, I had a B & W ASW 675 placed inside the armoire. There were no problems with extraneous noises. However, If I placed one sub here it would... 
2 subwoofer???
So, can someone list ways to set up two subs to run in stereo, or does this just mean that you connect the subs via rca or xlr into your pre-proc and then eq them. 
Help Choosing Subwoofers
If you liked the ASW-675's which I had and also liked, then the ASW-750 takes it up a serious notch. I really liked the 750 and if I had the bucks and the space I would have no problem getting two of them. My room is small, I am agonizing over sub... 
B & K AVR 507 S II or Sunfire Ultimate Receiver II
I am probably going to have the Monitor Audio RS8 Silver 5.0 speaker system with a B & W ASW 750 sub. I am waiting for the fall-out of Blu-ray vs. HD DVD to pick a good player. I have about $ 4,500 to spend on either a receiver or MC amp/PROC ... 
what is the best sub for $1500.00 or less
Hemi,I would recommend you get floorstanders that require no sub. But, if you must go with a sub, then research dictates that you get two subs. Otherwise, no matter what sub you get, you will always be able to hear that the bass is coming from whe... 
Speaker preference Dali, Audio Physic, Von Swiekrt
Steve,Sorry, I have been out of the loop for a few days. I started out with JBL S38II's which for the very small amount of money spent on them were really good speakers. This was nostalgic for me in that, I had a pair of JBL floor standers back in...

Sgun,I too will weigh in on the Avanti 3 side. I have just bought a pair, and I have had them about two months. Like you, I could not listen to them prior to buying them. So, I based my purchase of the Avanti 3's on research, specs,prayer, etc... ... 
Audio Physics ...Bright or forward?
Dude,I would kill for a dealer like you have. I have the Avanti 3 speakers which are brand new, so I am still in the process of evaluating them. I bought them without hearing them after extensive research via internet, etc... I have a good dealer,... 
"best" version for "Toccata and Fugue D minor?
E. Power Biggs, Peter Hurford, and Kevin Bowyer would all make up my short list.John 
Jessica Williams
I heard the entire album of ":Live at Yoshi's" Volume one on the radio, and it was excellent. I even called the station to find out who it was. Jessica Williams is a great find for all Jazz fans, and for me, she was quite a discovery. John

BEST LOW VOLUME FULL RANGE SPEAKERS?
Sorry about the caps. As Nrchy, Avguy, and others have flamed me about. I think I had just placed an ad which I used all Caps for effect, and this carried over to my post. I get the point, and I promise to be good from now on.John 
Audio Physics Avanti 3 Vs. Joseph RM33si
FOLLOW UP.I want to add Sonus Faber Cremonas, or a used pair of Sonus Faber Amatti's to the list. To further expand upon what is desired, I would love to find speakers that no sub woofers are needed to compensate for a serious lack of bass, but th... 
Subwoofers - 1 Martin Logan Depth or 2 Grottos?
I would suggest that you forget the Depth and go with the Descent, which at a K more will solve your bass needs much better than the Depth. I have tried both, and I much preferred the Descent.Happy Listening,JWALKER 
Wife Acceptance Factor
Several posters have probably missed the point to this post. It is not a question of being a man or not,or even that we have nagging wives, the point is to include your wife in major purchases that will be in plain view, like speakers. Electronics...
