Are big subwoofers viable for 2 channel music?
Adding subwoofers is so much more than bass. Adding subwoofers to my system has improved spacing and detail across the audio spectrum. To my ears it makes listening to music more enjoyable and I will never have 2- channel without subwoofers again....

I received the REL Baseline Blue cables. I don't want to exaggerate, but to simply say that the REL Baseline Blue cables makes a difference would be an understatement. Everything and I mean everything is improved relating to detail across the enti... 
New Preamplifier
It's new, covered under warranty, and it works? I don't understand the problem? 
Chord Dave - Missing soundstage width
I have the Dave and I find recordings are the determining factor in how the soundstage is reproduced. On some recordings the soundstage extends beyond my left and right speakers and some don't. I tried the Hugo Mscaler in my system and I prefer th...

The G1 pressurizes my room better and I can "feel" the music more with the G1 compared to the CL. I think the CL is a great subwoofer, but the G1 is a better match for my 20’ x 26’ room and my Monitor Audio PL500 ii speakers.

Are big subwoofers viable for 2 channel music?
This is by no means an absolute, but here's my experience. I had dual JL Audio F110 v2 subs and replaced them with a single JL Audio F112 v2. It wasn't close to my ears, as I preferred the single, bigger F112 v2. I recently sold dual REL Carbon Li...

2 subwoofers to connect to Naim nova
If you’re going with REL you can use their ’subwoofer finder" tool. Depending on the size of your room, REL recommends the S/812 or S/510 with Aerial Acoustics 7T speakers. 
Magico vs the world
sciencecop,I agree it's about context and it would be helpful if he filled in the details.   
Magico vs the world
I believe dznutz, because I owned three different speakers from a very popular company(not Magico) and finally decided they weren't for me. I think as you grow in this hobby you make different choices.
