| Rethm speakers, bass amplification I'm not familiar with Rethm loudspeakers but speakers with powered woofers need to be powered. No way around that. | |
| Bi amp and bias issue With two different amps you need an electronic crossover. That separates the bands and allows adjustment of the volume for each amp. Not sure about your bias meter oscillation issue. Maybe try the other speaker taps on the amp. The crossover might... | |
| Any audiophiles in Israel or Europe here? Are you ever coming back? If you are take your loudspeakers and the gear that is easily converted (a flip of a switch) and buy what you need when you get there. | |
| Sansui SP-2500 - Keep Original, or Modify? "...I'd stay clear of anything Sansui made that had speaker drivers in them, they are not known for their speakers..."Back in the day, they were well known for their speakers. Not my cup of tea but very popular. | |

| Thinking of a Schiit Freya + and Vidars, to Power Martin Logan ESLs You’ll have no trouble with speaker placement, just follow the manual instructions. They are not brassy or metallic but they are crisp. I had no trouble driving mine with a 25 watt tube amps 80 watts is plenty. | |
| can any stereo receiver be turned to mono? Just wanted to add, that for me mono means ONE loudspeaker playing a mono source, not summed stereo with two loudspeakers. OP, are you just trying to get mono to play on both channels? If that is the case, you can feed a mono source to one channel... | |

| Cut lower frequency to help my bookshelf speakers "....You cannot wring blood out of a turnip..."This is the key point. The loudspeaker designer already got everything he could get out of the design they produced. The idea that you can equalize a loudspeaker system into doing something it just ca... | |
| Thinking of a Schiit Freya + and Vidars, to Power Martin Logan ESLs I have a pair and they are pretty good but they are tipped up on the brighter side and still need a subwoofer. Fairly easy to drive with tubes or solid state. Have your heard them? | |

| Thinking of a Schiit Freya + and Vidars, to Power Martin Logan ESLs Electromotion ESLs? | |
| Would like to upgrade amplifier and would appreciate suggestions. ditto | |
| can any stereo receiver be turned to mono? Some stereo amps allow you to bridge for mono operation, I don't believe yours is one of them. | |
| Cut lower frequency to help my bookshelf speakers MC is on the right path, even if you equalize and limit the low frequency to the speakers, you will just turn it up more and be right back where you are. Little loudspeakers just don't play large and loud. |
