millercarbon,      I just recalled something about the Audio Kinesis Swarm and Debra that Duke knows more about than I do; there's something called 'bass room gain' that needs to be compensated for when setting up a distributed bass array system. ...

russmaleartist,     Exactly, your description of what a good sub or subs integration should do and sound like, and not sound like,  is just as my expectations.   On my bass system, the subs are completely silent as long as there 's no music or ht ...

Why no Class D integrated love? (from manufacturers)

"I'm Willing to go back to separates if I have to, just it would be nice to have the choice without it being a huge compromise."     Understood. But it's also a matter of how long you're willing to wait, correct?  As you know, there's definitely a...

     Is there a good reason you want to avoid separates?

vtvmtodvm:"One of the major benefits to be derived from the addition of self-powered subs (use at least two, generally spaced wide, and towed-in from the front wall corners) is that they’ll help you defeat room mode peaks/nulls. They’re the next b... 
Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other???
Hello dmc,      I've been curious how a pair of .7 Magnepans would sound being driven with very good amplification.      Now that it's been confirmed as a good combo, I'm curious how it could be improved with 1 or 2 good subs.       Better yet, ho...

georgehifi,     Okay, now I understand your 'payout' comment .       By the way, I completely agree with you that there are an abundance of really good class D amps on the market right now.  As you've so wisely stated, "the new fast GaN FETs and A...

millercarbon,       I'm glad you're becoming a believer in the distributed bass array concept but I'm a little confused, have you decided to buy an AK Swarm or Debra?  Or have you decided to build your own custom DBA?     Whatever you decide, I'll...

georgehifi,       I thought you knew that I'm not, and have never been, a retailer.  I'm just a 60 yr old music, ht and audio/video equipment enthusiast in Indiana.      I am a big fan of class D amps (I own ClassD Audio, Emerald Physics and D-Son...
