How do you high pass your main speakers?
I'm guessing your speakers were designed to handle their low frequency limits. If the amplifier driving those speakers has adequate output to drive them, the methode of the high pass filtering may interfere with their designed presentation. Its ... 
Anybody Try A5s With Pass XA30.8?
N. Pass designed? Threshold T-400, sensible handles and connectivity, around a hundred pounds, dangerous no fluff case work not to mention still one of the most intriguing monickers ever given to an audio product. Like a big Mopar still running bi... 
Subs for SF Amati
@w123ale   REL have always been and remain sub-bass speakers. They begin a steep roll off in the 40Hz neighborhood with the T9X dramatically -6dB @ 27Hz.  Your Amati's are rated at (I'm assuming -3dB) @ 28Hz providing almost twice the output ener... 
Going backwards: what speakers best match a pair of REL s/510s
Welcome. I believe REL could answer your question best. FYI, actual subwoofers can be adjusted to better match most any speaker. You should be able to obtain a satisfactory result with their help. Enjoy.    
Bass- at what frequency does it change from sounding like a string to just a low tone?
@m669326 "I have a hell of a time determining where to set the sub volume. Which result reflects the recording's intent? How did they mean to balance the bass with the rest? And what sounds the best to me? you'd think I know that last one, but whe... 
Subwoofers: add a JL Audio or switch to 2 Rythmic subs?
The job of speaker positioning is to prioritizes sound stage. The job of a -3dB subwoofer position is to evenly load the room with low frequency. Don’t be confused by the sight of -6dB sub-bass speakers stacked next to main speakers. Sub-bass spea... 
Subwoofers: add a JL Audio or switch to 2 Rythmic subs?
You don't say where or how your subwoofer was located. Sounds like your subwoofer is choking in a bass null. Map the rooms bass modes by using the crawl test then position your E112 in the loudest mode. All you may need are a pair of long cables f... 
Your experience of moving to two subs
@gladmo Assuming your 7T's have a fairly flat frequency response down past 50Hz fugetaboud stereo. The only time I didn't need to use the crawl test (you don't actually need to crawl but it won't hurt to do both walk and crawl) to map out my list... 
Perlisten D212 Subs (2) in the house.
@velcro22 Is this your first subwoofer? Are you in Europe?  
Best Speakers for Listening Bar I am building?
A pair of freshen up Altec V of the T A7's 500 series (larger HF horn) would be affordably terrific. They'd need to be raised high enough until at least half of the woofer is higher than the crowd. Go easy with the stereo toe in, experiment. Give ... 
The "audiophile gear" I REALLY need is a damn house.
Especially today, a home is a huge step. If you're currently living alone begin by getting your speakers out in the room. This establishes territory for the potential significant other and introduces them to the sound stage, the reasoning behind ... 
Help with Dunlavy SC-IV signature
Your have experienced ears.  The recording engineer who nudged me into this hobby had modified Duntech Sovereign's and me with little practical experience. He passed and years later I heard that general presentation again at a small shop with Dun...

Buchardt S400 Mk II vs Sony SSCS 5 in Bass
lanx0003 Did you settle on REL, SVS or?  
REL Carbon Special Subwoofers or the REL G1 Gibraltar Reference Subwoo
s_r-a,   I'm a hack, so I just googled, 'how is subwoofer speed measured?' What turned up was subwoofer distortion, performance, phase, and port length, nothing on measuring a subwoofers speed. Can you suggest another search? If I were a subwoofe...
