| Sub setup in acoustically dead room It may be the size. It's possible that the larger room supported modes at lower frequencies to your taste/needs. The smaller room will have higher modes regardless of damping. | |
| 5.1 bass management I do agree with most of your analysis but you are suggesting an arrangement that is already a problem since there's no reason to use 100Hz on C and 60 on L/R unless the C is lacking. Phase problems will already exist. Using 100Hz for all is better... | |
| 5.1 bass management It is useful to have independant control of crossover frequency for all 5 channels even if the speakers are identical since their response is greatly influenced by room placement. | |
| Guilty pleasures and interesting music posts? Black Dahlia (especially in MCH SACD) is beautiful. A bluesy, jazzy, sorta soundtrack on BlueNote. Gorgeous! | |

| DVD-A monitor Try one of the small LCD monitors with composite vidio inputs from RS, MCM, PartsExpress, etc. | |
| Center speaker placement I suggest that you place the center channel over the TV and use it for video/cinema sources. If it's quite off center, switch to phantom-center for music. | |

| preamps that have sub connection ? As long as the sub has line-in and line-out connections. | |
| Remove spring from RB300 Yes. Set it to 3. Then do all your balancing with the weight. | |
| How to bias Sonic Frontiers Line 2? Dunno. Try Chris Johnson at audioconnexions.com | |
| Best Tube Monoblocks for Revel Ultima Salons? I use the SF Power3 amps with the Studios. I cannot comment on their use with the Salons but Larry Greenhill reviewed those speakers and you might consult his reviews for more info. | |
| Pre with Pass-Thru for HT Processor I suggest a used SF Line-1. HT bypass, tape-loop, remote control, balanced in/out, ...... | |
| Richard Strauss - Last Four Songs "Jessye Norman/Kurt Masur/Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra on Philips Polygram 11052 (1987) is excellent, IMO."Too slow and labored for me. | |
| Do we break in our componets or do our componets ? Hardly a new idea, though. We adapt to most stimuli. Our hearing changes under different conditions and throughout our lives and yet we are rarely aware of it. Just think about how protective mechanisms change hearing in response to high level sou... |
