Velodyne DD Plus: New King of the Jungle?
You can get a smoother response in room using multiple subwoofers. Or one bass horn. So more than 2 is fine wont crumble your room break your windows but it will smooth out peaks and even response. 
Horning owners what amps have you used?
To me its the total design not just what tube the amplifier uses. I've heard weak bloated 2a3 wonderful strong 2a3 300b with no bass below 40hz and 300bs that are driving loudspeakers into 20hz. 
Horning owners what amps have you used?
Viva and mastersound make SET able to drive your loudspeakers load. 
Should I try to improve speakers at $2000.00 range
If you like why change? How do you know you would enjoy a change? And since already happy why risk it? 
Velodyne DD Plus: New King of the Jungle?

Bybee Speaker Bullets?
Bybees contain a low ohm resistor. And if the designers of said loudspeaker needed to use one they would have. They will alter sound, could it improve it? Maybe but to me its just a over price resistor worth a few $ and just another unnecessary pa...

Velodyne DD Plus: New King of the Jungle?

Velodyne DD Plus: New King of the Jungle?
I will stick with my 800lb bass horn think it could dissolve a little dd15 with its tremendous bass pressures. 4 DD 15 would make nice feet for it to sit on ;) 
On a mission for more BASS
Peter your not moving air but exiting a wave to form this imparts its energy to the next air molecule and so on. The air doesn't go anywhere the wave moves through the air.

CLS2Z is not controversial where you pull that out. And to be honest I wouldn't want any maggies or logans anymore moved on not my cup of tea. I answered posters questions Rrog you seem to just insist on being right without excepting others have d... 
Martin logan CLS II Vs Magnepan 1.7
Owner was running MF Kilowatt amps on 1.7S its a fine loudspeaker but its dynamic capabilities due to panel area are not greater than CLS2. And this is what the poster is referring to. Toss in Dipole effect and OB size. Bass- Midbass is going to s...
