Which subwoofer should I get?
@ fleschler - FYI the Shockwave subs are a Von Schweikert product. Definitely over my price point. FWIW Westminster Lab makes amplification and pre-amps.

@ Audiorusty - thanks for validating James633. It struck me as good advice as well @ mylogic - truly appreciate your ongoing clarifications. I was originally thinking about the REL Carbon special.  To all: I am now convinced that a pair of subs ...

@ Mylogic - thank. Will do.

@ mylogic - thanks, was wondering about that.  Do you happen to have a URL for an article that can explain in layman's terms the concept behind hi and lo level inputs for subwoofers?

@ James633 This was a VERY helpful post….thank you. The JTR’s are truly above my price point, so will do very serious investigation of the Rhythmik, since you and so many others think so highly of this brand. As suggested by another post, I will ...

I realized I have a separate but related question. My integrated has two subwoofer out RCA connectors. The manual states only the following about them: "This output allow you to connect an active subwoofer or a second power amplifier."  Does anyb...

I'm definitely getting some mixed messages about the utility of getting a sub that is app controlled versus the RELs without app control. That's ok, just want to acknowledge that there are differences of opinion (what else is new with audio?)  If...

To all: once I again, I really appreciate all the input.  @ Rick_N: helpful to know your experience with the SVS SB subs.  @ gkelly & jastralfu - good to know the REL's are easy to set up. Another question for everyone: on the REL speaker m...

@gdaddy1  There is no question that whatever sub I end up getting, it will be sealed. @audiotroy  The Elac subs look very interesting @sunshdw  .....and the Paradigm subs look very interesting as well. Definitely more expensive; in line with ...

@ avanti1960 I have listened for many months to my system without a sub, and was able to listen to the system with the SVS home theater (ported bass) sub for about a month. There is no question that the subwoofer added a tangible sense of air and...

Thank you one and all. It seems like a “tie” between the REL and Rhythmik subs. I have heard of Rhythmik, but never heard them. One of the things I’m concerned about is having the properly sized sub for my room, which is 19’x17’x9’ (peaked roof de...

Just a quick update.....looks like for only a few hundred more dollars, I could get the SVS SB-4000 pro, and I have the physical space for it. Would probably opt for that sub if the group thinks I should do SVS over REL.    
I’m getting a hum in my integrated tube amp and it’s bugging me alot
OK, I finally have an update: the amp has visited the manufacturer (Roger of Roger’s High Fidelity). Roger said that my hum was due to 2 (of 4) bad KT150 tubes. He had no explanation for why my new matched set of KT88 tubes were producing hum (at ... 
I’m getting a hum in my integrated tube amp and it’s bugging me alot
Again - sorry for the delayed reply, am currently traveling. I powered on the amp with just the speakers connected and the hum was still present. I will try to power on the amp with nothing connected; my best guess is that the hum will still be p... 
I’m getting a hum in my integrated tube amp and it’s bugging me alot
Just spoke with Roger (of Roger's high fidelity). While he could not hear the hum in the new video that I sent, he did take my word for it and asked that I send the amp back to him for evaluation and repair. He asked that I wait until early Decemb...
