Who are some of elite sub woofers?
Tomic601 is correct. Many people crank sub volume to high. If the sub is dialed in correctly, you shouldn't even know it's in the room. 
Do you listen to equipment or music.
Many years ago I had a audiophile friend who was a complete equipment junkie. He couldn't get more than 30 seconds into one track without stopping to take that CD out, and insert another, and repeat the 30 second process all over again...Talk abou...

Another vote for the Vandersteen sub 3. With eleven bands of EQ, you can conquer just about ANY room problem. Use 2 sub3's with EQ, and problem solved! 
Naim Nait Integrateds... Sound Quality Comparison, User Comments and Bang for the Buck
viridian,I believe I was using the term "accurate" in a subjective manner. Specifically, the tweeter. It is a special carbon dome type which has a natural, extended, airy presentation. It is neither bright nor rolled off (dull) sounding. It's the ... 
Naim Nait Integrateds... Sound Quality Comparison, User Comments and Bang for the Buck
Viridian, I called it a problem for lack of a better term. You said "not sure that road would be for me, YMMV." Was just asking why, and said respectfully as in not being aggressive. Please don't generalize Vandy's as having a reticent treble. May...

What would be the problem with pairing Vandersteen with Naim? Respectfully.

I believe you are assuming correctly. Receivers of that era, and probably now also, would parallel two sets of speaker terminals.  Generally, most speakers, I say most, not all, run a nominal impedance of 6 to 8 ohms. If you run four speakers that...

Really cool room setup. Like the carpet.

In regards to the faint signal you hear just prior to the music starting is indeed, print thru. Peter Lederman of Soundsmith told me that the louder this sound is, the better the azimuth alignment of the cartridge is. It can be used as sort of a t...

Honesty is How This Tube Dealer Built His eBay Business
Another vote for Andy of Vintage Tube Services. I've purchased most all of my NOS tubes from him. Great guy and really knows his stuff..... 
Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time"
teajay,Point taken. It makes me happy to see that you and Kenny have made amends. Seriously. I don't have anything personal against Tekton or you, for that matter. If you and Eric are excited about the speakers, fine. You feel Tekton punches way a... 
Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time"
teajay,Not in this thread, but awhile ago, you got into it with a fellow named Kenny. If you are the same person I am talking about, you kept calling hm "Mr. Bright bulb." Kenny thru out that thread pretty much maintained his composer and maturity... 
A DAC that can make digital sound analog?
Ayre CODEX. It has the warmth and relaxed presentation similar to vinyl. New, goes for $2000. Used between $1200-$1350. 
Home owner's insurance question
Is it true most insurances will cover a "Zombie apocalypse?"...:-)
