2 subs connected to a 2 channel amp?
If you purchased a pair of REL subwoofers you wouldn’t have had to deal with this.  
Analyzing DACs
How do more expensive DCS’s make a difference in sound quality?  If they make a difference what will you hear that is different and why.  It sounds like upgrading a DAC to improve sound quality is the first upgrade one should do.  I would guess Ja... 
Thinking about a Steinway Lyngdorf system
Strange looking speakers.  Openings for sound to come out of speakers is quite small.  
What CDs to buy
So far, the best recording to show off a sound system is a song "Nasty" by Vincent Ingala.  
Birthday DAC
Do DAC’s make that much of a difference.  I wonder what you hear that is different?  
Anthem vs Arcam
I own an ARCAM 850 and think this to be a better choice.  If you can swing it, buy the ARCAM with the G Class amplification.  First 50 watts is pure A.  Great for two channel.  This would be the best of two worlds.  I have  Murantz in our family r...

I recently read where the said a 16 bit sounded better than streaming.  I played one of my CD’s about 2 months ago and I didn’t want to admit it sounded better than Tidal.  For me streaming is convenient,  
Why don't higher end amplifiers come with a separate power chassis?
Why do amplifiers come with such cheap power cords.  The power cords they come with might cost $5.

Anthem STF Integrated ARC
I would install an internet connection.  I know my BlueSound requires one and I am not sure if you are streaming music.  
What is the most important cable in your system
I upgraded all my cables and I am not sure I heard a difference because the only way I would be able to hear the difference would be to have a toggle switch to compare quickly.  
Why is everyone so down on MQA?
I wish I understood MQA better.  The way I understand it is it was designed to fold the files 7 times in order to pass the data through slower internet speeds.  Now with internet speeds being 1 gig this is no longer necessary.  I have a BlueSound ...
