Your sub experience: Easy or hard?
In my experience it depends on the sub and speakers. I have an svs sb16 ultra. It was easier with my klipsch than it was with my tekton's. The tekton's go lower so I had a flatspot in the low midrange so it took a bit of work to fix it.

I just got e-mail from pay pal just now saying I received $100 I don't have a pay pal account  
Can a great system make a mediocre recording sound good?

Tekton Design - New IRL Technology - Lifelike, Real, Immersive
Amazing how judgemental and dismissive people are of a new technology they have never heard. I will reserve my opinion of it until after I have heard it!!

I can say I did not buy my Mac because of looks. If looks were important to me I would not have bought tekton speakers... it IS about the sound.

As others have said it is personal taste and I love the sound of mine. But my mac is far more likely to still be working in 30 years.  
Power Amp Question
True. But then you will probably need longer cables to connect them to your pre-amp so I guess there is some give and take. As they say there is no free lunch.  
Power Amp Question
Amp AND pre-amp...  
Power Amp Question
OK I am confused. How does using separate amp or pre-amp or an integrated change the length of a speaker wire. Or did I miss the joke!  
Audio nonsense
If you can hear the difference then you need to decide is the difference between $100 cables a d $1000 cables worth the money. Everyone's answer will be different.  
Audio nonsense
Everyone has to decide their own threshold for diminishing return. Some believe it is worth spending 1k for speaker wires while some won't spend more than 100. Just like the debate about speakers, amps, etc. Everyone has their own opinion and we n...

Any improvement these things may have would be so small they would not even be audible to the human ears..
