NUPRIME EVOLUTION ONE-BEST CLASS D AMP ON THE MARKET
   I purchased my first switching amp, the PS Audio HCA-2 before it was reviewed, while my Ayre V-1 was being upgraded. I was instantly taken by its unique presentation which was noticeably improved after installing Black Gate caps. Between in hom...

Separate subs for music and HT/surround
   I was unable to get two of my subs in the perfect crawl tested locations but they were close. The Auto EQ did take up the slack in my room.   I ran my Earthquake, the DD-18 and two DD-12 Plus mastered from one of the 12s. I was able to closely ...

   I live on the California Central coast near the Loma Prieta epicenter with everything on a wood floor. My 145lbs. speakers came with three precarious non-connected metal cones per speaker.   I made eight large 3x2x1.5" clunky looking walnut blo... 
JL Audio F112 v2 subwoofer - worth the price?
   The F112 is a quality potent subwoofer regardless of what your using it for. It can act as a master if you decide to ad another sub such as their more economical E series.   At this level I strongly suggest you investigate as many subs with DSP...
