Class-D or switching amps, any opinions on??
Dod - I just wondered why you call him "inventor" when class D is known from 50's and Sinclair X-10 was sold in stores both as a product and a kit in 1964 (12 year earlier). It was followed shortly by X-20.Samujohn - class D does not mean "not ana...

Timrhu - when you move up in power the bandwidth gets lower. Your PS Audio amp's module has higher (65kHz) bandwidth than more powerful 1000ASP 1kW module. It is simply because stronger Mosfets are slower. New much faster Mosfets are introduced ev...

Dob - Sinclair produces class D audio amplifier called X-10 in 1964 (Designer: Gordon Edge) 
Speaker suggestions
I'm looking also for speakers within the same budget. I'm waiting for used Revel Studio 2. 
Is 75 ohm IC OK from AVR to subwoofer?
Kirkus - two more issues I know of:- coupled noise (in addition to ground loops) will cause voltage drops (returning to earth ground) appearing as a signal (since shield is used as a return - bad practice)- cable is most likely made of low quality...

Magfan - I don't know if Mosfet configuration alone can be considered topology. Icepower uses full bridge vs. half-bridge on Hypex. Some people claim that full bridge sounds more "tube like" but also places half of the supply voltage on speaker te... 
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. 
Two subs in a small room....
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.
