The best Subwoofer
if you dont mind ugly try jbl pro 4719. it makes the termites run for cover. i have one with a krell kst 100 stapped mono in my theater. it will destroy other so called subs . it has awsome detail for music to . i know some of you think i am nuts ... 
Tube amp for a somewhat difficult load
i have a little tube research 80 watts triode . it has a larger power supply than audio research 600s . it will drive the hales like no tomorrow. where are you ? i will show you. 
How could surround sound be used in an audiophile system?
i would help certainly if we new what your system was. i think you are in bad need of tubes and some good speakers. if set up right you will hear every thing in the sound stage, clear as a bell. 
Why do people think I'm nuts involving audio?
you are not alone my friend.i feel most people on audiogon are the last of the audiophiles. i have friends that have known me for years who think i am sick for spending the money i do on audio. i love good movies as well but nothing takes me away ... 
S.F Line 3 vs. S.F - SFL2

why are jolidas so cheap?
for the money why not. i would rather have cheap tubes than good solid state. i heard the jolidas and think they are not to bad. you also might want to try antiuqe sound labs. 
power amp or integrated?--tube of course

Depth of sound stage--I need help
buy some sound labs,and sit nearfield and watch the soundstage drop back. 
Help with Avalon Opuses
i use to think that the speakers were the most important part in the chain. they are not. if you spent more money on some powerfull tubes ,you could get by with less expensive avalons. 
What I want to see in multichannel
i love patrick o'hearn and most soundtracks. i hope it never shows up on multi channel. does anyone remember quadrophonics ? a really good two channel system cannot be beat.
