Bi-amping with 2 2ch amps
The imput impedence of the X150 is 22 kohm balanced x2=44kohm I have the M5-HP set at 50 htz now. I would guess that it will be calculated at 88 htz so I would try 75 htz and 100 htz. What I meant to be asking was should I come out of the pre into... 
Bi-amping with 2 2ch amps
Thanks to both of you!! Vertical biamping is exactly what I was wondering about. I have Vandersteen X overs for the subs are they best near the pre or the amps, the run is 10'. Also would it be best to split at pre or amp , if cost wasn't a factor? 
Any balanced one end/rca the other interconnects?
Audioquest made me a pair, specify the grade of wire you want.

Best bang-for-buck purchase you have made?
When Federated stopped carrying Luxman equipment, late 70's early 80's ?, the West LA store blew it out at more than 50% off. I bought the T-12 tuner; C-12 preamp,and G-11 equalizer for $825($1785retail) new in sealed boxes! I used a Dynakit Stere...

Vandersteen 3A Sig vs. Von Schweikert VR4 Jr.
I need to get down on my hands and knees with my ear by the slot in the sub to tell where the bass is coming from. I thought the 3a's sounded opened up and nimble also. 
Vandersteen 3A Sig vs. Von Schweikert VR4 Jr.
I think my statement of mushy and boomy was incorrect!! Boomy was mostly my room and the placement of the 3a's I think my saying the bass was mushy was an overstatement of the sound without subs and with subs. I agree with Pubul57 the subs help th... 
Review: Raysonic 168 CD Player
Thanks Tweak I bought the Herbie Tube dampeners cleaned things up a bit! I'm using PS Audio Quintessence and all AQ NRG-5 power cords forgot them for some reason. I just ordered US Amperex 6922 PQ white labels can't wait to hear them! When I bough... 
Review: Raysonic 168 CD Player
I received my 168 3 wks ago, and I also am extremely satisfied. I found out how much detail it was capable of when I auditioned AQ's Volcano double biwires and suddenly sounds that I hadn't realized were veiled appeared as very distinct instrument... 
Vandersteen 3A Sig vs. Von Schweikert VR4 Jr.
I bought 2 2Wq subs and the sound is fantastic in the low end now. Where the lows were mushy and sometimes boomy it is now tight and strong! Jazz is crazy with these subs and for soft rock if you like you can add boom by changing the Q setting. Th...
