SVS PB-16 Sub
I had a pair of JL Audio F110 V2's with the JL Audio CR-1 Active Crossover. "For me and in my system", I prefer my system with my single JL Audio F112 V2 without external crossover over any sub I've owned.

I had the SB15 and SB16.

Yes for home theater, no for music. I've had several SVS subs and in my system, they just aren't musical subs. 
Torus power vs the competition
I have a Torus RM20, but have only compared it to the much less expensive Audioquest Niagara 1000 and Torus RM15.  The RM20 provides additional clarity and an ease to the music that can be easily heard.  
Dealers hijacking the discussions
I've talked to Audiotroy several times and I've asked him to recommend ways to improve my system. He didn't try to sell me speakers, an amp, or any major component. He recommended a couple modest tweaks. Some believe his opinions are based on what... 
Dealers hijacking the discussions
It doesn't bother me as long as they identify themselves as dealers. I understand they have potential financial gain, that's why I take what they say with a grain of salt. Some audiophiles push what they prefer and in some ways it isn't any differ...

I’ve listened for two days now. I try very hard not to say one component is better than another one; but instead describe the differences I’m hearing. First, I submit my system is neutral and if it leans from neutral, most would say it leans to th...

Thanks for all of the recommendations. I'm trying Shunyata again for several days. I'll post my thoughts tomorrow. 
Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed?
If I had the money, I would spend whatever I thought was necessary to get the sound that I prefer. I would do it for me, just as I suspect most people do. This is a passion that most of us enjoy on our own, with family, or other audiophiles. I sub... 
Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed?
I just read a post on another forum, "Jeff's Getting a New Stereo". The Jeff is Jeffrey Fritz Editor-in-Chief of SoundStage. After several years he's looking to downgrade from a seriously expensive system. Don't get me wrong, by any standards he's... 
No-one talks about Rowlands anymore
I've already stated that I really love my JR 625 S2 amp. I hear a lot of talk about how bad their preamps are, but to date I haven't found anything to replace my JR preamp within its price range. Maybe I'm one of those people that enjoys the Jeff ... 
Wilson Sasha 2 Pre owned?
I wish someone would have told me to look at different options when I first got into "high-end". I agree with Dave, we should encourage people to look a several options.

auxinput,I submit Monitor Audio series II speakers are neutral compared to their series I. To my "ears", in my room, with my equipment, I find the PL500s chameleon like. Several people from Audiogon have been to my house to listen to my system. I ...

I use the Marantz and HT bypass on my Corus preamp to drive my fronts for surround sound when watching television and movies. I have a ATI 3-channel amp to drive my center and rears speakers.
