How do you hook up a pair of REL T5x subs to a class d amplifier?
[Connecting a subwoofer to the Sphinx: The Sphinx has one pair of variable outputs that can be used to drive a subwoofer. The variable outputs are buffered in order to eliminate any interaction between the subwoofer circuitry and the Sphinx....

Definitely. My remote controlled subwoofers are simply fun. With the exception of certain LP's I prefer the systems presentation with the subs on and using various gain settings.  SVS offers a painless trial period that might help you decide. I c...

[JohnnyR]  Its real simple every room is different and the Vandersteen Sub 3s adapt first by not having to play around with DSP processing that also spoils mid range.  Vandersteen systems provide wonderful results. Full system Digital Room Cor... 
Help with choosing sub-woofers please
[clear thinker]   You and others advocate the crawl test as if all standing waves are bouncing around along the ground.  Surely they are present throughout the room, in which case we should also test whilst standing?  Would save my knees as well....

Buy a pair of XLR cables from Mono Price or Blue Jeans cables long enough to circle more than half way around your room. When the cables arrive order at least two sealed app equipped SVS subs which come with a convenient free trial period. Use on...

Any thoughts or recommendations regarding the Emotiva SE8 or REL subwoofer?
If your looking for subtle or extreme bass support to your taste where and when you want it, any rear panel manually controlled set it and forget it subwoofer is going to be frustrating.  I have a remote controlled subwoofer system with six memor... 
Feel free to talk me off the ledge
roxy54's advise is highly recommended. Its so worth the effort. All the subtleties of your room and system come together to hear a pure prospective. Differences that are difficult to assess at a show or in a showroom. Good luck with it.

For all you Bose 901 Haters!
Arthur Bach’s 901’s? Just under $500. in 1969 dollars. Series V just over $1500 in 1984 dollars. Novel but over priced. Those Avalon Radian’s would be far more interesting, even today.  
Persona B + Rel to the next upgrade
Steve, perfect. Nice to have an in home direct comparison. The weekend I replaced my Paradigm Studio 100’s with used Avalon Eidolon’s, I was auditioning a dealers pair of S8’s. Not at all a cost wise fair comparison but one that allowed for a det...

SVS PB16 Ultra vs JL Fathom 113 vs ???
I had an F113 with A.R.O. which automatically adjusted one frequency peak in my home for a short time. It's output quality and loudness was very close to my Velodyne DD-18. I believe the JL version 2 with D.A.R.O. automatically addresses eighteen ...
