Are big subwoofers viable for 2 channel music?
Has anyone heard of or had experience with Snap AV?  They are a custom install only brand that I had never heard of.  I ran across some used subs on ebay for dirt cheap and they appear to be well-designed.  They're sealed, and have phase knobs ins... 
Are big subwoofers viable for 2 channel music?
I'm curious if anyone has tried having a multi-way sub array with several small subs throughout the room and one big one that only plays the lowest notes.  If you give a big sub a gradual rolloff starting at 30 or 35 hz it's less likely to have ne...

@roxy54 it seems like you should have some sort of response.  If you say nothing and wander off you'll be assumed slow.  Is that what you want?

@roxy54  It's hyperbole but not kidding.  It's my limited experience, I know it's not comprehensive.

You can't really appreciate this on other speakers.  It's a real problem.  This is so much better than whatever else it out there.  It's so much better.

I'm once again listening to my <$1,000 Viewpoints and enjoying them beyond what seems right.  So many people passed up this opportunity.  What's the matter with you?      
What can beat Wilson XVX for less money?
100k or less, really?  really?  
Can anyone identify theses B&W speakers?
The 803s look wider to me.  They were the same height but had bigger woofers and were wider.        
Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused
I've tried digital eq, active, etc. and my favorite system is my Thiel 3.7s with some moderately priced but high powered ab amps, a bryston analog preamp and benchmark dac2.  I think my second favorite is turning out to be an old system I've got a...

Nautilus 804 would be my guess.  could be 803s, they looked very similar.

A few days in and I'm really enjoying some solo cello on my computer system.  It can't be a coincidence, I never listen to classical here.  And I'm sure it's low res, poorly recorded or something.  Whatever it is I'm really enjoying it here and I ... 
OMG - Room Acoustics are Critical - WAF be dam-ed!.
When it comes to the environment the most important thing in my experience has been to live in a house made out of wood.  My first house was brick and plaster.  It was impossible to get good sound there.  I made dozens of bass traps and lots of ot...

Just hooked up the Viewpoints to my computer system.  They're on the B speaker output of my 2001 Creek 5350SE.  Audio is from PC through AudioQuest dragonfly red.  The A output is on my 2010ish VA Mozart Grands.  I've got $7k MSRP worth of speaker...

I just bought a pair of viewpoints off ebay for a few hundred bucks.  They've been there for a while.  I'm trying to stop being a dick on the internet but that's a great driver combo/crossover in a metal box.  And I'm just buying it because I know... 
Headphone amp and dac advice needed
I recently got the Dan Clark Aeon Noires and a Schiit Magni for the office.  I already had a Fiio X7 I bought years ago.  I've never been much of a headphones guy, I bought some Sennheiser HD 590s ~15 years ago but they broke.   I bought some Sen...
