Rat Shck Presidian 40-5053. Next Sonic Impact?
Somebody (in the Dallas area) really should build a 7 1/2' line array with these things (and then have a shootout with his Dali's). Hint, hint...I'll donate some CAT-5 for the wiring. 
Subwoofers that do both L/R & LFE simultaneously?
Here is a picture of a aftermarket cable offered by Signal Cable - A picture is worth a thousand words. 
Subwoofers that do both L/R & LFE simultaneously?
Sorry, Nsgarch. I thought you were implying that the signal was rolled-off (via a low-pass filter in the sub) before being sent to the main speakers. As you know (but for those who may not) this is not the case with the REL. The full bandwidth sig... 
Subwoofers that do both L/R & LFE simultaneously?
Nsgarch,Then you misunderstand how a REL is connected at speaker-level.With the REL, the sub is connected in parallel with the main speakers. It presents such a high impedence (100K Ohms, I believe) that it doesn't significantly affect the impeden... 
Speakers in the range of $3 to $4.5k per pair?
If you like B&W (and particularly if you can get a deal on them) consider a pair of S805 with a REL sub. While I haven't heard any of the S line, I liked the N805 + REL combo better than any other B&W setup (especially the N804). 
How good are the AES Sixpacs???
Here's a quote from my system review:As for the AES hardware (AE-3 DJH and Sixpacs), I was nervous about transitioning to tubes. Would the tube rush drive me crazy? Could I live with the weak, flabby bass? What am I going to do with only 50 Watts?... 
How good are the AES Sixpacs???
I just hit my 2-year anniversary with the Sixpacs, and I'm still lovin' them. I have the AES AE-3 DJH pre-amp, too. I couldn't be happier with the combination. If it will best your PrimaLuna...no idea. 
Reliability of Cary Audio Products
Had my AES Sixpacs and AE-3 DJH for 2 years now, and have put on a fair number of hours on both pieces. No problems at all. 
What's your favorite lyric from a song?
I can't believe no one has posted..."And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?" - Pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here 
music to wake up vandy 5a subs
Tool "Lateralus"The thinking man's rock. Highly recommended. 
Why do new cables needs to be "broken" ???
I can't believe this thread is getting traction. If I've said it once, I've said it once: In a new cable, the music doesn't know where to go. It's timid from the new environment. After a while, the music gets used to the new component (in this cas... 
Vandersteen Upgrade Path
You don't really say what you don't like about your system.Is your room sufficiently large as to demand a sub (or two)? Do you really like that home theater "boom boom"? Have you listened (and enjoyed your system without the sub? Are your speakers... 
What's up with Talon?
Hey, Nvlashi...I read on an on-line forum that a guy got an e-mail from Mike at Talon that implied that he may have been on vacation for the past couple of weeks. He's not 100% sure, but that should be enough to help you rest easy.If it's posted o... 
I am openning a shop. What equipment should I sell
Does this imply you have no faith in the hardware you advertise through your web presence?As one who represents himself as a dealer, your questions frighten me. Nevertheless, if you'd like to spend some consulting dollars, I'd be happy to sell you... 
What's up with Talon?
Sorry, but I don't think Nisi was out of line at all. His post was respectful, gave Mike the benefit of the doubt, but expressed concern over something he has every right to be concerned about. I did not find it to be "knee jerk" or a "gut reactio...
