Sabrina X Anyone Add Subwoofer(s)

Large speaker recommendation
While JBL and Revel would natural choices for ML amplification and have ’big’ sound, they are both large departures from the SF sound. I kind of think used Wilson Sasha and Rockport speakers. There are a lot of good speakers for you to choose from... 
Best Home HIFi you’ve listened to
I do not currently have audiophile friends. Albert Porter was nice enough to have me at his home while I was still in college. He had Soundlabs at the time, but I was most struck by the sound of his Walker turntable over SACD, which was the thing ... 
Seller Listing Pet Peeve
A serious seller with take pictures of at least 5 of the six sides, disclose some provenance, condition and included original accessories and price it normally.  There are a low percentage ads with serious sellers, ime. I do not know why they both... 
Cornwall 4 vs JBL horn under $10,000
I own the 4367s. They are not appropriate for the Wellsenton R8, requiring much more power. I do not know about the Cornwalls.

The past meets the future
@ghdprentice How would you compare the sound quality between your digital and analog setup? They seem to be roughly even investments. The decision in allocating money towards digital vs analog has been a bit of a decision for myself, but ended up... 
Sub Pairing With Harbeth 40.3 XDs
@jl1ny   Sorry to interrupt but I am curious in what way is the S510 better than the T9. Room setup was the same for both models?  
Sub Pairing With Harbeth 40.3 XDs
Installing subwoofers requires an even frequency response with limited decay to get tight bass. Multiple subs and feature sets included is subs are other tools to make this happen. With my limited experience I would suggest a larger subwoofer like...

I went with a Bricasti M3 largely to save money with its built in streamer.  I also have positive prior experience with the brand's demos, and the resale value is stable. My initial interest was in Totaldac from prior demo experience and Holger Ad...
