| Seeking to Upgrade Subwoofer from SVS SB2000 My room size is 12 x 18. I was considering SVS SB 4000 which is on sale for $1299.00 each. I would buy 2, get a $200.00 discount for the second. I am very close to my $2000.00 budget. Thank you. | |

| UPGRADE PATH FROM CHORD QUTEST Sorry if I was not clear in stating the types of music I listen to. Many recordings that I stream sound thin, whether classical, opera, rock, or ballads sung by Sinatra, Diana Krall. etc. For example I streamed Rachmaninovs 2nd Piano concerto usin... | |

| PREAMPLIFIER UPGRADE QUESTION The only problem with the Conrad Johnson ET-6SE is the fact that there is not balance controls where I can control left and right speaker volume. This is made necessary due to my seating arrangement. | |

| PREAMPLIFIER UPGRADE QUESTION Looking for a preamp that in short is truer to the recording than the preamp that I currently own. In short, seeking transparent, quiet and a preamp that works well with the Bryston 4B3 cubed which I recently purchased. I like the fact that the Br... | |

| DAC UPGRADE QUESTION I was asked if I was happy with the CJ amp. The CJ amp was an upgrade from a Rogue Audio 100 watt per channel tube amp. The CJ amp is better to my ears, but I have been advised that a high current solid state amp would be better sounding due to... | |
