Maggies and subwoofer integration
another strong vote for rel sub pairs, using the high level (speaker) connection -- wonderful match easy to integrate but in a small 11x13 room, a single rel should work fine parenthetically, i recently tried (due to the all the youtube talking ...

this is sad, another great one from the old guard passes a serious and influential person in life, not just in our hobby of hifi r i p  
Fleetwood Sound Company - DeVille Loudspeaker.
ahhh the endless churn of being an internet ’influencer’ -- all hopes of lasting credibility is gone in a just few blinks of the eye! 😅😂😆 just remember, when someone is trying to tell something for free, the question is who is that person helping...

@chiliray  on a good hp setup i think you will definitely hear a difference when you go to better more resolving dacs than what you have tried thus far
