Take Five - one of my all-time favorite cuts! I have two 12", sealed subs (wired stereo) dialed in around 55Hz. No deleterious effects on this (or any) cut whatsoever. In fact, I detect beter (truer, deeper) tone and broader spaciousness with the ... 
other then bose what amp could drive
What are the specs please? 
running full range or not full range...huh?
Filters were from ACI. I plug them right into the power amp inputs, then plug my cables from the pre amp into them. Simple, easy, and cheap. Like Aldavis says, try it for yourself and determine if you like them or not. If you get them from ACI you...

I hi-pass my mains (large monitors with integrated stands, making them appear as floorstanders) with 85Hz in-line passive filters which cleaned them up tremendously. And have stereo subs doing the LF work. Clean, full sound. 
whats the finest recorded cd you've heard?
Husk01, no. I don't know that one. This is titled "Sahib Shihab and the Danish Radio Jazz Group", on OKTAV, OKCD 1111. BTW, I also picked up Sahib's "Companionship - Jazz Joint, Vol. 2", on Schema/Rearward, RW 119. Also excellent music and sonics.... 
2k budget for Amp
Jaymark - Yes! First 20 are class A. Perhaps that's why it sounds so terrific (smooth). First 10 are Class A in the 350, which is why I recommend the 550. Maybe don't need 250+ watts, but 20 Class A watts are well appreciated. 
2k budget for Amp
Would you mind a powerful (+250wpc), great sounding, U.S.-built, well-built, trouble free amp from a well-established company which has terrific customer service, one whose owner often answers the phone, and runs Class A for the first 20 watts? If... 
Power Amps with High Current or High Damping
What is an example of "high" current (spec-wise) vs. not?I'd like to know if my amp is high current. 
so what do you do when listening?
Imbibe. Read the liner notes. Close my eyes. Dance if I feel it. 
whats the finest recorded cd you've heard?
Sorry, the Danish Radio Jazz Orchestra, not Group. 
whats the finest recorded cd you've heard?
"Sahib Shihab and the Danish Radio Jazz Group". Superb sonics and engaging jazz. Better than "Jazz at the Yawnshop". 
Top Jazz Albums of 2008
Sahib Shihab and the Danish Radio Jazz Orchestra is a must. Terrific music and top notch recording. Heat and shape your copy of "Jazz at the Pawn Shop" into an ash tray and replace it with this gem. Similar audio quality but with way better music.

Mapman - you are correct. My bad. I completely misinterpreted your statement.

If it does not sound good at reasonably low volume (you can talk to your wife without raising your voice) then walk away.Baloney! I don't agree with that myth and am tired of hearing it. You'll be missing out on many wonderful speakers that don't ... 
First Trip outside of Best Buy, a real newbie.
For someone starting out I would tell them:1. Cost does not always equate to quality.2. Many experienced audiophiles spend much time, effort, and money chasing the last 5% of quality which will give them perfection. Don't worry about this part (ye...
