| Best subwoofer below 40Hz for Magnepan .7? Also if you really like the Maggies, don't jump on the speaker merry go round trying to replace them , because if you like their sonic signature I think you"ll have to spend a lot more to better them. | |

| Dbx 20/20 Weird he would say that, I thought dbx was in Waltham MA in the 70s and then moved to Newton MA before they went under. I used to drive by there often. | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium That's great you are getting so much enjoyment out of your new gear. I had my doubts about the brand not having seen them before and during the course of auditioning speakers I listened to their EL 34 integrated amp. It really sounded great. ... | |
| very little power? Does your cable box have variable remote out? Is it wired via analog outs or digital? Connected to the 122 via the cable box or TV audio out? Some boxes or TV s have a variable digital Toslink jack which could be the problem . | |
