Will a subwoofer add depth and clarity to my system, or just bass?
Hey Dave. Take it easy. Im only telling my experience. I dont doubt about yours as you mention you seem to have much with very popular brands, but that doesnt make mine not valid. Im also aware that my room dimensiones are difficult as posted by m...

Hello MikeI really dont know on what kind of music you will miss that bottom octave. I think, as I guess all audiophiles do, that our biggest goal is to have a system that reproduces the music as close as possible to the real thing and I think tha...

DaveI already bought one once and never again!!   :-) LarryWell, even Im not a tech expert AT ALL, it took me about a couple of years, a lot of hours and mostly some not small cash to learn it the hard way and I think the only way.... Readind, buy...

Will a subwoofer add depth and clarity to my system, or just bass?
Hey, it is just my experience and YMMV.For me its much more important, easier and may be cheaper to address issues like standing waves in bass frequencies, early reflections and reverberance in highs, jitter (if you listen to digital), speaket pos... 
Will a subwoofer add depth and clarity to my system, or just bass?
Yes, Im using the Q Acoustics Concept 500 and I'm getting more bass shaking than I need. In some reviews they mention that the bass is outstanding in this floorstanders and I couldnt agree more. It has everything, impact, dinamic, tone, etc. They ... 
Will a subwoofer add depth and clarity to my system, or just bass?
Well, IMHO, its very difficult to deal with standing waves in rooms with just one pair of speakers. Ive tried to make a pair of floorstanders work with a sub and I couldnt do it, nor did I have the patience to get it done. It was too difficult. ...

I cannot agree more with erik_squires when he said "It’s not the tech is bad, it’s the complications in the setup that I’ve so often heard as poor".Not to mention the space the subs will need in your room, powering them, cabling, etc etc. For me, ... 
Will a subwoofer add depth and clarity to my system, or just bass?
Well, its only my experience. But, its true that integrate a sub, or a pair of subs, its quite complicated and, to my taste, a nice pair of floorstanders, with a nice system behind and all of them voiced to the room, can sure give you all you need...

Unless of course you have and immense room, wich its not most cases. Mine is 14' wide, 28' long and 9' tall. Trust me, dont waste your time and money dealing with subs, if its stereo music what you have your system for. Movies with home theater is... 
Will a subwoofer add depth and clarity to my system, or just bass?
WellIve used a sub with a pair of bookshelf speakers.Then I change them for a nice pair of floorstanders and I couldnt make them work well with the sub as it only blurred and masked the sound of the floorstanders, A LOT. My opinion is that it is V...

Hello GeorgeWhat about the HFT? Have you tried them? If they are snake oíl, I guess I should find out soon. What if they are not?  
Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other???
I listen to all of my music streaming Tidal hifi (non MQA) with my Notebook with Audinirvana+ and Dirac Room Correction software (very recomendable). From the Notebook, I have the Audioquest Jitterbug (not a big improvement), then the Wyred4sound ...

Hello guysI have a Nord stereo power amp, two monoblocks in one chasis, with NC500 modules and the new Rev D boards with Sparkos Op Amps. It cost me about 2k.I have no experience with other class D amps, but I've had some class A tube integrated, ... 
Amp - preamp or integrated
Im sorry, the Audio-gd Master 1 will cost you about 1.5k if you buy it from Audio-gd website directly. M1 + Nord = about 4k, a HiFi steal
