Sharing a subwoofer between a Stereo and HT combination.

Good Speakers for Rock and Roll Under 15K

Looking for a great phono pre-amp in the $1000 or less range

SVS or REVEL Subwoofer
I don’t own Rel, but I’ve heard them in a set up running magnepan. The dealer was running 2 t5s and the bass was awesome. Not super low into 20 hz, but unless you plan on playing pipe organ or synthesizer music, I’m finding most times my own sub, ... 
System advice
