| Should I bother to try a subwoofer? JL has limited hookup options, especially compared to the Rel's. JL's are great subs, but you really need a certain set up to use them. Also, they do not allow for mulitple input signals as the Rel does. If you have Rel's you can put your LFE sign... | |

| How do the Magnepan 3.6r compare to the new 1.7 KKM, you are dead wrong. I don't know if you have ever owned or lived with the 3.6, but that is not true, I have had them, and other Maggies and other speakers for years, and never heard that from anyone. | |
| How do the Magnepan 3.6r compare to the new 1.7 3.6, it's not even close. Deeper, wider, and much louder. | |
