Two subs in a small room....
Magfan CDs might be but I remember that LPs were recorded mono below about 100Hz.As for smoothness and richness it is better to get one good sub like JL Audio Fathom 113 that can auto correct for room and whole system response with microphone plac... 
NAD C355BEE Owners - Advice Needed
My brother has NAD and uses Audioquest Python jumpers (around $40 pair) instead of links - better sound. Check Audioquest website. Any audio store that sells Audioquest can make jumpers for you but they will be soldered not welded like original ones.

10x10 room will tend to amplify 55Hz (1125ft/s / 20) - not ideal since many speakers have port tuned to about 30Hz and get already hump on 60Hz. Bipolar speakers cancel this effect by directing sound in both directions (canceling). Similar effect ... 
Elvis Presley Fans?
Yma Sumac covered 5-octaves. Was she the best singer ever? 
Does anyone like country
Gentelman is a man who knows how to play banjo but doesn't! 
Amplifier input tech question
Ska_man - not only, as Al said, you shouldn't lower your input impedance but it's even impossible because in order to get any meaningful attenuation like 10dB input impedance, in your case, would have to be about 30 ohms and preamp would distort a... 
Amplifier input tech question
Attenuation/division of the volume pot has nothing to do with its resistance and depends on the angle of rotation alone. You should get full power at about 1 o'clock. 
AIFF vs Apple Lossless Ripping
"is "MAX" by the same folks who created EAC?" I don't think so. Wasn't EAC written by the student in Germany?I use MAX (http://sbooth.org/Max/) with Snow Leopard on Intel Mac Mini in Cdparanoia "don't allow skipping" error correction mode. One bad... 
AIFF vs Apple Lossless Ripping
Jimmywho - are you sure it was lossless (extension mp4a and file size about 50% of original)? I compared again sound of ALC over Airport Express, this time to direct connection CD player to Benchmark and cannot hear the difference. 
Elvis Presley Fans?
" Elvis will always be the King!"Cyclonicman - Amen to that. I'm a big fan of Presley but I don't idealize him. Many great talents were not exactly nice people in private life. John Lennon for instance had anger and violence toward women issues. 
AIFF vs Apple Lossless Ripping
Rabco - I had the same dilemma. FLAC is more popular open standard while ALC is Apple's own. I decided to stay with Mac (I love this thing - had PC before) and don't see disadvantage of using Itunes and ALC. Compression is about the same and there... 
AIFF vs Apple Lossless Ripping
Herman - Thanks, I didn't know that. As for the jitter Benchmark is practically jitter immune. 
AIFF vs Apple Lossless Ripping
Jax2 - Equivalent of EAC for Mac is "MAX". I set mine to "do not allow skipping" and it reads music disk as data disk - bit by bit. It converts any format to any format. It even allows to download album's cover.I send music from MacMini to Benchma...

"And who wouldn't have problems dealing with his level of fame?" - A lot of artists. For instance, Charles Aznavour made over 60 movies composed 1000 songs and sold over 100 million records. In 1998, Charles Aznavour was chosen as Entertainer of t... 
Amplifer Wattage Question
Russb - try this formula L = P^(1/3.5) where P is a ratio of power and L is a ratio of loudness. In your case L=(250/10)^(1/3.5)=2.508
