What do you guys think of adding a subwoofer to this system?
+1 Mr. Squires. Bob, if you are overwhelmed by all the varied responses of models, brands and settings don't despair. Until you have heard your system with a properly set up subwoofer/s you may decide against even using them.    Even though a su... 
Speaker shootout question -- do you position the same or differently, depending?
Auditioning speakers at home can be the most revealing and relaxing method of comparison and well worth the effort involved.  I've found using the golden thirds location a solid place to start while using something to catch the first sidewall ref... 
What do you guys think of adding a subwoofer to this system?
Which subwoofers disappointed you and where / how did you position them? Have you considered B&W's own DB1 or DB2?   
Subwoofer for music, how low?
A subwoofer that meets all your criteria has a new home in Germany. Audio Reference purchased California based Velodyne Acoustics. Now marketing some new models and assembling a world wide sales and service network. While it may be more than you’... 
Subwoofer for music, how low?
Is it aiming to low if I buy for SVS SB1000? There are on sale. Or I could pay some more and buy the new SVS SB 1000 PRO   I believe SVS offers a trial period and a great deal more control options. The T/9x’s manufacture rating is actually -6... 
HELP - Subwoofer placement
1. Would be just guessing. 2 .Understand and mapping a rooms bass modes and nulls is easily accomplished using the previously mentioned crawl method. Whether using one sub or more the crawl is a terrific first step that only needs to be once. 3.... 
Nice upgrade to Hales T5’s
Your pretty much in the pipe 5x5. I'd add a used pair of anything Avalon Acoustics. Or simply ask the source. https://www.proaudiotechnology.com  
Short list of musical subwoofers
Subwoofer/s systems are an altogether separate component that should maintain their relevance through future main speaker upgrades. I'd suggest saving for a system with measured frequency control options or an outboard room optimization / equaliza... 
Upgrade path from Paradigm Studio Reference V3
Years of hearing the unaffordable Avalon Acoustics Eidolons at shows and the dealer they didn't seem to have 'sparkle and slam' of my Studio 100 1's, 2's or the pair of S8's I was auditioning at home. During the S8 audition I purchased a pair of u... 
Different brand/model Sub(s) integration
Have you placed the subwoofer at the listening position then walked the room listening for the loudest bass mode?   
Different R2R DACs
metaldetektor    Back to the topic at hand -- reasonably priced R2R dacs -- I've put the Sonnet through its paces and it's great. Accurate and nuanced timbre, balanced from top to bottom, no digital edge. Is it as good as my reference DAC that co... 
Subwoofer cable question
oldhvymec +1 Or any other brand than the one you settling for. Read their two paragraph installation instructions. Essentially, place the sub in a corner which is usually the worst location for most rooms. Then reduce the volume until the sub doe... 
Subwoofer cable question
I don’t have the sub yet so I didn’t know about the included high level cable. So this cable connects to speaker taps on the amp and the other end to sub? Then normal speaker cables go from high level out on sub to main speakers? Richard Edmund... 
Different R2R DACs
metaldetektor, Alex Halberstadt's Sonnet Morpheus review along with his $3K Sonore, Denafrips Iris comparison to the $1K Sonnet Hermes Digital bridge was all timely for me too. I'm looking to upgrade a Squeezebox, Metrum Acoustics Mini NOS. For w... 
Bricasti M3 or Lumin T2
In the end I've sold both to go with an NOS R2R DAC and sound, but both were excellent in my view.    After your time with the M3 which NOS R2R DAC are you considering? Recently I came very close to pulling the trigger on the Bricasti MC1. I'...
