Odd behavior- JRiver 27 and MacBook Pro not working right- no output to DAC
And still once I engaged play on JRiver, midi reverted to built in output. I have never seen such a thing.1.  You can see and select the DAC in MiDi?2.  You can see and select the DAC in JRiver?3.  Does any of that change after the Mac resets t... 
Odd behavior- JRiver 27 and MacBook Pro not working right- no output to DAC
I go into the MIDI audio settings on my MacBook Pro, and select the output to go to the connected DAC. Once I engage 'play' on JRiver, my selected output on MIDI gets deselected and it reverts to "built-in output" even though my DAC still shows ... 
Subwoofer placement - does it matter?
Yes.  There will be major differences depending on where they are with respect to the nulls and nodes in the room. 
REVEL performa3 f208 or TEKTON Moab
I have about 5 grand to spend on loudspeakers. Of these 2, Tekton Moab and Revel performa3 f208, which one would you goners buy? Have you had any opportunity to hear either/both?  What kind of music do you listen to and at what levels? 
SPL Meter to Match Gains in a Passive Bi Amped Crossover Network
The problem with making an acoustic measurement is that it is so sensitively variable with the position and orientation of the microphone.  OTOH, if the speaker is still endowed with its original crossover to insure that the upper and lower bands ... 
SPL Meter to Match Gains in a Passive Bi Amped Crossover Network
No.  You should use an AC volt meter at the output of each amp with a sinewave stimulus. 
Driving different pairs of speakers with different speaker wire lengths
The receiver has connections for A and B speakers along with rear/surround and subwoofer channels.  I have the speakers connected to the A and B speaker outputs. This probably your problem.  Your AVR has separate amplifiers for the front left /... 
How to damper booming bass...
What speakers are they?  For many, only some mitigation is possible. 
Pairing of different JL Audio Subwoofers
I've used Kubala-Sosna and Cardas adapters with satisfaction.  I've had variable results with the cheaper Hosa adapters. 
Pairing of different JL Audio Subwoofers
A xlr to rca adapter should get the job done. Indeed, I have an XLR-Y cable connected to the XLR output of the master f110.  One leg feeds the other f110 via an XLR cable.  The other leg feeds the e110 via an RCA cable.   
Pairing of different JL Audio Subwoofers
Would you recommend I daisy chain them or wire them using the two subwoofer outputs from the preamp? If you are going to use the D.A.R.O. in one sub to EQ the entire set (as I do), you will have to use a single output from the preamp and daisy-... 
Pairing of different JL Audio Subwoofers
No problem using the f112 with an e112 and use the D.A.R.O. with them.  I am currently using an f110 with D.A.R.O. to EQ/control it, another f110 and an e110!   
Subwoofer line array for 2 channel
I use the woofer towers from an Infinity RS-1B. I personally think this is close to ideal.  There is no problem with a stack or a tower of subs but, with only 2, they cannot be spatially distributed to deal with room modes. 
Subwoofer line array for 2 channel
Stacking subs does nothing more than increase output.  Distributing them in the room is more useful because it can be very effective in minimizing the influence of room modes. 
Looking for a sub for revel f208
If you go the M33 route, I strongly advise you to consider multiple (if smaller) SVS or Rythmik subs.  DiracLive Bass Control will soon allow for smooth integrated bass with this arrangement.
