My photos made the preview but not the post.   
What are your top three live concerts of all time?
My parents took me to Bimbo's 365 Club. The show opened with Comedian Ben Blue pictured (the by plane pilot in the film, 'It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World'). Followed by Dick Contino's straight ahead bop quintet. Less than two weeks later I was takin... 
Adventures With Subwoofers
@soix +1   Unlike your dramatically rolled off -6dB sub-bass woofer the first step when switching to a -3dB subwoofer is to simply drop the sub into one of YOUR rooms strongest standing wave bass modes. Unfortunately most manufactures of subwoo... 
Will these subwoofer be enough ?
@sns   I've had conventional subs with low level connections, dsp, far more powerful bass than the REL's, they always brought attention to themselves through excessive boom or discontinuities with main speakers. I don't mean to be confronting, ... 
Will these subwoofer be enough ?
No, not really. Your money will go farther and much deeper here. Give them a call     https://www.rythmikaudio.com/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21382262560&gbraid=0AAAAADMvRGO9-ZynSjOsde9TkIbH155ZT&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIp8LP--yEjwMVIi3... 
Audible Illusions 3b power supply
As a previous owner of an M3A and embarrassed to say, the upgrade. The very best of luck to you.     
Subwoofer Question
@maprik What type of source program or test tone was used in the spectrum analyzed graph at the bottom of your equipment list? Did it provide a flat output say from 10HZ on up?  Does the graph display your speakers and sub-bass woofer output sim... 
Subwoofer tweaks
@mitch2  DOH!  On the other hand decoupling my subwoofers a few years ago was a tweak that I found well worth sharing with -3dB subwoofer users.   Also, I continue to recommend Velodyne's early, now twenty-two year old Digital Drive dedicated mu... 
Subwoofer tweaks
@cmach   My two DD -12 Plus rest on birch plywood dolly's with extra-soft casters. The dolly's are topped with four inch layers of dense latex foam and approximately three inch layer of closed cell old Morey Boogie board foam.  I needed to reru... 
Long Run of Speaker Cabling
The preamplifier manual seems quite pedestrian regarding functionality. On the other hand the manufacturers manual paragraph on cabling is almost alarming without making any outright suggestions. It's possible they prefer to make cabling suggest... 
Speaker choice
@starystarynite  But I couldn’t feel the speaker is not enough as the space is too huge for it. Now I have sold my speakers...   Not enough of what?   In my experience for the cost of two mid-priced off shore made 'Sub-Bass' speakers a dist... 
Experience with stacked subwoofers?
@hifidream I appreciate your ​taking the time to respond. I think I've seen that 12Hz figure somewhere. I was trying to get an idea of their output level at their claimed low frequency. By example SVS claims your SB-16's -3dB@16Hz, while Audio... 
the gateway product that turned you into an audiophile
FYI ‘Beginning Led Zeppelin’ is currently available for viewing. Billed as formally The Yardbirds I found their, take it or leave it trajectory into the music industry smartly interesting. John Paul Jones, “I loved John Bonham’s right foot so mu... 
Experience with stacked subwoofers?
@hifidream    Do you know of a published manufacturer frequency response ( ex. -xdB@xxHz ) measurement for Kinergetics SW-800's? I get led to an SW-800 User Manual residing at Hifiengine but I'm unable to log in.  
So What Let's My "Mermans" Sing?
