Is there a such too much power for speakers?
@erik_squires hi thanks.i had heard Luxman m900u stereo amp. It wasn’t my cup of tea. I still prefer richness from tube amps.

which is more musical? A REL or a SUMIKO subwoofer for two channel only?
My update,I bought a REL T/7 and it is very good, very tuneful for my 2-ch listening. It’s nicely adding to the lows, and like many others had mentioned, it’s def not shaking the house and that what I was looking for. Saw great potential of the T/...

Hi Lak, may I ask what REL model are you using?Hello AudioConnection, a Vandersteen 2W can be had for $350 cash, locally. Where’d it stand in performance as today’s standard, Are the 2w-Q and Sub-3 much more superior than the original 2w?

Jeff Rowland Capri VS Capri S2

Jeff Rowland Capri VS Capri S2
To OP, At the beginning, I too had JRDG 102 amp to mate with Capri original and many small bookshelves in a small room- good result(very) sweet sounding and ease to the eyes. Good combo. I now have VTL ST-150 tube amp to drive Sonus Faber Cremonas... 
Jeff Rowland Capri VS Capri S2
Hi, I had both same time, side by side. The original unit has more organic sounding that I spent hours and hours without getting tired of- just listen and enjoy music But side by side, the S2 is a better unit; more refine and define across the sou...
