Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs
Hi sonicjoy,     Very good post with some good points.    After over 40 yrs of building systems and listening to music in different homes and rooms, I definitely agree with you that every room is different, especially in bass response.     When in... 
Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs
Hi audioconnection,     I'm a bit confused by your last post.  You state: " What you guys need to consider is the thinking outside the box.The Sub 3 nips your particular room overload in the bud with 11 band analog room compensation No DSP proces...

Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs
gdnrbob stated:" The Audiokinesis swarm makes sense, but then if you could put 4 or more subs of any brand in your room, you would probably get the same result. The whole idea is to balance room aberrations."Hi Bob, Correct, a distributed bass arr...

"Wow, thanks Tim, I had no idea a product like this was out there and at a comparatively low price to boot. Here are the things I would worry about: the WAF (yep the WAF strikes again for this one)Integration with the mains - Does it do it the way... 
Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs
Hi tyray,     Sorry about detonating your gray matter, I hope it wasn't too painful.  I think, if you just stuff the blown out bits back in your cranium, you should be fine.     Good bass response is harder to attain in most rooms than good mid-ra...

Using Oppo 205 instead of per amp processor
roy1919,     You have some very specific requirements that I would recommend a good local a/v installer would be best able to solve for you.  Sorry, I don't have better answers for your particular situation.  Tim

Using Oppo 205 instead of per amp processor
Hi paulrp0,     I would suggest you just use the 205 as the prepro and use a good pair of XLRs to hookup the stereo l+r/front l+r Oppo outputs direct to your Meridian 568 5ch amp.  Then hookup the rears and center direct to the 568 via rca unbalan... 
Best AV receiver to use as an AV pre amp
     I think zd542's post way back on 1/26/2013 contained all the answers the OP needs to answer his original question.  That was 5 years ago but zd542's advice is still valid today.    Due to the OP's insistence on only using an AVR for 2-ch musi... 
Class D is just Dandy!
Hi riskymichael,     I've never had the pleasure of listening to the Rogue Sphinx integrated amp but find it very interesting because of its combination of a tube preamp section with a class D amplifier section.that uses a traditional toroidal pow... 
Class D is just Dandy!
" This is all great discussion but doesn’t it come down to your ears, budget  and preference for the love of music."     Yes, bluesy41, it does all come down to what equipment enables one to most enjoy reproduced music in their rooms based on the... 
Class D is just Dandy!
Hi scott_w, Congrats on your soon to arrive DAC amp. You're fortunate you were able to audition 2 different class D amps in your system before you purchased. Typically, you’re required to purchase the amp and then audition it during an in-home tri... 
Class D is just Dandy!
Mapman,     Your last post was an excellent summary of the current state and future possibilities of class D amps.  I agree with all of it." I don't know why people have to defend or overly praise Class D compared to other amplifier topologies wh...
