| Eh hem!...Subwoofers... What do ya know? My main system is Apogee Duetta Sigs. They don't go down much below 40-50 Hz, so I added a Paradigm 15 Ref Servo sub - sounded good. Then I added a 2nd 15 Ref Servo sub and it sound great!. I have them wired in stereo and positioned as if they wer... | |
| What do you say to your audiophile friends who say you just listen to your equipment more It's always been about the music. The audio gear is just a way to get there in audibly satisfactory way. | |
| Which to Upgrade first? My Amplifier or Speakers? I've had Apogee Duetta Sigs for over 25 years and I still love them, however, they really don't go much below 50 Hz. So quite awhile ago I added 2 Paradigm Reference 15" subs. I'm getting chest thumping base whenever I want it. As suggested by oth... | |
| What do you consider "loud" for your system? @mijostyn...That's the way i usually approach it. Start at around 75-80 db and then get cookin'. It's rock n' roll...right? | |
| Do you guys like Adele's music? I'm a fan. I like her voice, songs and arrangements. I'm 73 years old. You can stick your dynamic range argument up your... | |
| SACD Player--Do you use it and feel you'd replace it if it broke? I had a Sony SCD 1 for about 12 years. It ceased playing SACD but was great on Redbook CD. New lasers for it were not available so I sold it and bought a Marantz SACD player. I really like the sound quality of SACD. | |
| What do you consider "loud" for your system? @millercarbonI think I was very clear about asking what I meant by loud. Volume levels measured in decibels. | |
| Great musicians who should have been famous except.... Kenny Aronoff. Played for John Mellencamp, Melissa Etheridge, John Fogarty, Joe Cocker, The BoDeans and many, many more. Great drummer to see and hear. | |

| What will a preamp do for me? Why not mate a BAT preamp with your BAT VK-55? Seems like it would be a good fit. | |
| Your Forever Pieces? What and Why? Apogee Duetta Signature speakers purchased in 1991. Sound as good as the day I bought them. | |
| Preamp Advice for my System Georgehifi - My sources are Marantz SA-15S1 SACD player and Music Hall MMf-7 turntable. | |

| Preamp Advice for my System Bigddesign - You can keep your right foot. I finally got new XLR cables and went directly from the Bel Canto's XLR to the BAT XLR. Took the sub and sub crossover out of the loop. You are right on - I forgot how good the Apogees can sound full rang... | |
| Preamp Advice for my System I'm going to give going XLR from the Bel Cantos to the BAT a try. When I first purchased the Apogees I ran them full range, but then the subwoofer bug caught me. I've been through some different equipment since then, so It's worth a try to take th... |
