Merrill VERITAS monoblock amplifiers
Hey Tim- The CX was nohwere as sweet sounding or as dynamic. Much more Class A power on tap. Better presence & snap on drums.

Merrill VERITAS monoblock amplifiers
Great info everyone! Thanks much!Question, why does it seem like Class-D amps are more 'system dependent' than Class-A amps. Meaning Class-A amps sound terrific in any system regardless equipment/cables/wires, but Class D doesn't?! Is this true?An...

Nordost Tyr vs Audience Au24e
REPLACED MY NORDOST TYR XLR IC'S WITH TARALABS 'THE ONE'. BETTER IN EVERY AREA ON MY SS SYSTEM. 
Is a subwoofer 'overkill?'
Velodyne SMS-1 EQ/RTA is the way to go. You can smooth out the bass peaks/valleys and when the wife gets home, put it in night mode in which reduces output up to(user adjustable) 20%-90%! 
NUFORCE AMPS FOR PASSIVE SUBWOOFERS
Vicdamone- Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't need an amp with any 'high pass filter and gain control with low and high level inputs'. My Lexicon pre/pro does all that. I just want a power amp only. Looks like you really know your bass!! (I HA... 
NUFORCE AMPS FOR PASSIVE SUBWOOFERS
I've owned the Crown K1 and used it on my Apogee Studio Grand subs. Didn't like it. It had plenty of output, but no bass definition. I thought it would be the ultimate amp for my subs, but I was wrong. My Classe 201 amp smoked it but runs much hot... 
NUFORCE AMPS FOR PASSIVE SUBWOOFERS
Sterotaipei- Funny you should mention ICE amp. I have one that is rated at 250Watts-8ohm/500-4ohm that is being updated with new speaker binding posts. I can't wait to try it when it returns. But I'm using it as speaker amp. I've owned a Crown bas... 
HELP...Bubble Wrap Marks in PIANO BLACK Speakers??
I have wrapped my piano black Apogee speakers twice in plastic wrap in the past(when purchased used from audiogon member & house remodel) with no problems. The plastic does leave a temporary swirl like mark in a few spots but after a cleaning ... 
DEFINITIVE TECH TRINITY SIG. SUBWOOFER
Thanks for the response John. I really want to hear it before I buy but no local A/V store(Paradyne,BestBuy,Mags) that carries DefTech has the Trinity in stock. Special order only at full retail price. What a bummer! You think if they want to make... 
Subwoofer cable???
BTW, I use Analysis Plus Super Sub cables. Cheap and work great. Also Talon Audio uses it as reference for their subs.PT 
Subwoofer cable???
I have found that a solid core cable(AQ) sounds better than a stranded cable(Monster) for bass. Synergistic research Design also makes great but $$$$ sub cables.PT
