REL Carbon Special Subwoofers or the REL G1 Gibraltar Reference Subwoo
It's hard without knowing your room's dimensions, but here's my opinion based on your speakers. I would get dual REL No. 31 or No. 32 subwoofers. I owned Carbon Specials, but the passive radiator drove me crazy. I also owned REL G1 mkIIs and now R... 
All New Monitor Audio Concept-50 Time-Aligned Loudspeakers : Major-Breakthrough ?!
I have Monitor Audio speakers. Although I don't like the looks of the Concept 50s, I would love to hear them.  
UP-OCC solid core copper for speaker cable
There are no absolutes in Audio, only preferences. I had a home audition of one of the companies speaker cables that uses rectangular copper. The company has been mentioned in this thread. I didn't like it in my system...they weren't as dimensiona... 
New FARAD Level 2 Silver Mod for Chord DAVE!
brandonhifi, "I chose the FARAD silver level 2 upgrade over the Sean Jacobs DC4 Arc 6 because it’s 6k cheaper." This hobby is so funny. Sean Jacobs makes two power supplies for the Dave, one at $7K and the other is $10K. Depending on the power co... 
REL Carbon Special in the house!
" I don't think I'll ever own subs again for 2-channel." I'm glad I said, "I don't think", because I purchase dual REL No. 32s a couple of weeks ago. Never say never in audio :).  
Monitor Audio question
I sent you a PM.  
Is Accuphase a good match for my system?
lalitk, That’s why I prefaced my comments with, "In the context of my system." I submit too many audiophiles make it about a particular component and forget they’re listening to a system. "I believe a more appropriate and fair comparison would h... 
Is Accuphase a good match for my system?
Urbie, The Accuphase E-800 didn’t work in my system. In the context of my system the E-800 lacks dimensionality, resolution, and bass articulation. It may be great in other systems.  
Is Accuphase a good match for my system?
I had a home audition of the Accuphase E-800 several months ago. My suggestion is to get a home audition and let your own ears decide. No component works well in every system and one person's medicine, is another's poison.

Chord Dave and lInear power supply
nkj, As an owner of a Dave, what does "Really transformational" mean? What exactly does the Farad improve...detail, dynamics, resolution, bass articulation, etc?    
Wireworld Platinum Starlight 8 USB
I've owned a Audioquest Diamond, WW Platinum series 7 & 8. I directly compared the Shunyata Omega and WW Platinum series 8 USB cables to the Infigo USB cable. In my system the Infigo USB cable is more open, detailed, and natural sounding.   
Chord Dave and lInear power supply
I've owned a PS Audio Directstream, Bricasti M1, Jeff Rowland Aeris, and currently own a Chord Dave DAC. The Dave may have a cheap power supply, but I have yet to hear a DAC in it's price range that I prefer in my system. That being said, I would ...

metaldetektor, I'm not looking to change from Antipodes, but I was curious about what Antipodes model you compared the Grimm to.
