New Ikea storage unit great for LP's!
I have a 4x4 Expedit with an added 1/4" plywood backing and five sets of their casters. Completely full of LPs it's easily moved over our hardwood flooring.

A unit with more equalization options than the D110 would aid greatly with location issues and a remote with volume and multiple EQ settings would graduate you from the set it-forget it world of the low end.Wi-Q 
Class D audio vs James Romeyn
Spkrplus, I apologize for comparing my shade tree assembly of a pair of nC400 kits to your impressive build.I too heard a substantial ability to hear into my modest recordings just as your recording engineer customer compared to the linear solid s... 
Class D audio vs James Romeyn

Class D audio vs James Romeyn
bakalovb I forgot to mention.I'm essentially using what Romeyn builds sans the casework and includes a version of the Hypex switch mode power supply. The two channel 200 watt ATI AT522NC ($1895. w/seven year transferable warranty) uses a Kessler d...

I believe the article stated the OEM and a custom made Audioquest power cable were used to power the amplifiers-. Both cables had a "standard" male plug which was plugged into the reviewers dedicated 20 amp circuit and the 30 amp connector at the ... 
Will a new sub sound better than my Velodyne F1200?
+1 hgl3. I must confess to being a Velodyne whore beginning with their FSR 15 more recently the DD18 now using two DD 12 Plus'.  But for now if adjusting the phase helped try switching the polarity. I have found some recordings with polarity diffe... 
Best Subwoofer Connection
 The only time I found it necessary to use my subwoofers high pass filter was when my main power amp was not powerful enough to drive the main speakers.  Considering the many variables when adding a subwoofer system I would suggest you try both me...
