+1. I have a 55" XBR (not OLED) with great picture quality,  still sounds a lot better when I feed it through my stereo system.  
Turntable recommendation
I get tremendous enjoyment out of my (now classic?) old Technics SL-1200 MK2 with an Ortofon Red cartridge. Many on this forum insist that anything less than a mega thousand TT (only belt drive accepted) equipped with a MC cartridge feeding into a... 
KEF final call
I did not avail myself of this sale but did purchase a pair of R3 Metas. Best speakers I have ever owned (although that probably isn't saying much). I have them paired with a single HSU VTF 1.MK3 sub. I am having some difficulty in getting placeme... 
A Serious Subwoofer
Well, that's a first. Better than live. Must be the quantum accelerators he got from the starship Enterprise.  Pretty good example of obsession with gear over music. He must have some "family" money to finance that massive an undertaking.  
TAD Speakers
You could buy new TAD speakers or a new car, whichever you need more.

Bass- at what frequency does it change from sounding like a string to just a low tone?
jon_5912. This is what KEF seems to be doing. My R3 Metas don't have impressive low frequency specs but they seem to take good advantage of room gain.

I guess it was supposed to be a big money maker. Give it a paint job and double the price. What could go wrong?  
Bass- at what frequency does it change from sounding like a string to just a low tone?
At the level of equipment I use, what matters most to me is if I can discern actual notes instead of just low rumbles and thumps. One of my go to sound tracks for bass is One od Emmylou Harris's more obscure albums called "Thirteen". She does her ... 
Another "Best" amplifier Question.
Hopefully, final update. First of all, thanks to everyone who took the time to read and reply to my concerns. As I stated earlier, I came across a no cash exchange where I traded a nonfunctioning Yamaha CR2020 receiver and a couple of other piece... 
A Different "Analog" Question
adasdad, That is a nice pair.  
Vacuum Tube Testing Services?
When I was in high school, I worked in grocery store. We had a tube tester with a tube cabinet. Back in those dark ages, many stores of all kinds had tube tester cabinets. When the TV went on the fritz, people would pull all the tubes and put the...
