Subwoofer Question
Hello puppet,     As millercarbon stated, I also agree that you will attain the best bass quality utilizing 4 subs, even in a small room.  In fact, 4 subs will actually make your room seem larger and you’ll also notice improvements in the sound st...

Swarming!
Hello Ozzy,      I’m still waiting for your invite to movie night, sir!     You know what they say about subs;  ....4 subs sound and perform about twice as well as 2 subs and 8 subs are, as they say, good grounds for divorce.       You’ve created ... 
Which is better for a DBA (Swarm); powered subs or unpowered?
Ha!, Very nice spinaker01. I hope advice from a fellow member of the 4-sub DBA Club (AK Debra system) will suffice for cheeg, instead. My opinion is that 2 subs will sound and perform about twice as well as 1 sub and 4 subs in a DBA configuration ...

Hello Hans/hleeid,     Congratulations and welcome to the 4-sub DBA club!  The AK Swarm and 4-sub DBA concept works so incredibly well that it almost seems like magic, especially how it works in virtually any room and with any pair of main speaker... 
Magico vs the world
     I happened to hear a demo at a local dealer of the Magic A3s being driven by a Mark Levinson 5805 integrated with hi-res digital files as a source.       I noticed the glass smooth midrange and treble mentioned by Eric, not as powerful but I ...

Hello John,     No problem with the delay, I usually just check for new responses on threads once a day, no hurry.  I’ve heard about the mini-DSP previously but the benefit of retrieving more recorded bass information from recordings is new to me.... 
Lumin Player App Issues
     I use a LUMIN D2 with the LUMIN app running on an iPad.  It did lock up on me once but I just unplugged/replugged the D2’s power cord to reboot it and everything has functioned flawlessly ever since.Tim 
IM Distortion, Speakers and the Death of Science

Hello phusis,     Thanks for your detailed response.  I now have a much better understanding of your system preferences, priorities and goals. I looked at your system pic and description on your profile page and admire the unique and independent p...
