Clayton Audio Class A amps. Need amp advice

1 large subwoofer or 2 smaller ones...?
Has anyone tried using 2 different models in their system. I use a REL Studio III which is no longer made. Could I add a REL S or G model to the system and achieve the same results as having 2 subs of the same model?

Jafant,I am new to the DFW area and recently discovered John through Steve McCormack. I would have liked to purchase Steve's VRE-1c preamp, but could not afford it. I have not yet bought anything from John, but have been in his store for a listen....

Purepower 2000+ and 3000+ actual availability???
I would buy it if I did not already have a PP2000 model. If the PP2000+ makes as much improvement to your system as the 2000 did in mine, I would look into the analog system grounding. I would not want to be without my PurePower.

Dennis,I have the Boulder 1021. All it needs is a NAS drive (about $100), a wireless router, and an IPAD, Iphone, etc running the PlugPlayer app. The NAS, router, and 1021 are connected by ethernet cables which is a much better method than usb. I ... 
Music Server/DAC in Same Box
