Subwoofers and Merlins
Tmiddle, beauty of a system by the way. I bet it sounds fantastic. How is it intergrating a sub with your room placement? What struggles did you come up against and how did you work with those?Thanks 
Subwoofers and Merlins
Thanks gentleman for the responses. Dgarretson, could you explain a bit more to me about the set-up of integrating the BBAM with the subwoofer and how to determine setting the LPF a 30hz with a 12db/octave slope?Are you setting it there because of... 
Build your ultimate FANTASY system
My...what apicture of Cameron. Albert, she's a keeper. Have her sit on your lap though and get Angelina to cue the vinyl for you. Of course understanding that deep waist bends are a prerequisit to any turntable function.
