| Subwoofer for Acoustic Zen Adagio? Raul, How do you roll-off the lows from the main speakers ?My sub does not have "hi-pass" outputs to drive the main amplifier. My pre-amp drives the sub (with its built-in amp) and the main amp directly, so even though the sub handles the lows, th... | |

| running full range or not full range...huh? Rockadanny -- Do you put the passive filter between the amp and speakers, or between the preamp and amp ?? | |
| What's the oldest piece of gear in your system? Audio Research SP-3a1, which I've owned since 1974. I recently had it upgraded to SP-3c. 2nd oldest piece is a Linn Sondek LP12, owned since 1977. | |
| Audio Research Reference 110 I don't know about the Ref 110, but I think it is probably similar to the VT100, since they both use a quad of 6550s per channel, biased similarly. My VT100 Mk II went close to 2000 hrs on the output tubes, which for me was 6 years (I guess I don'... | |
