Rel T/7x sub sound improvement but…
When I only had one sub, I placed it just left of the right speaker and it worked fine. To me, it makes sense to put the sub between the two mains especially if you have to set the crossover frequency kinda high. But, I'm no expert.

Rel T/7x sub sound improvement but…
Have you tried lowering the crossover frequency?  And maybe turn the gain down a bit? Is the sub in a corner where you might be getting a lot bass reinforcement?

Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions?
@bluethinker I should mention these tubes are used in my LTA MicroZotl preamp.    
Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions?
@bluethinker Marcus, I received your message, but I can't reply, so I dug up an old post.  I don't have payment information and a phone number on file with Audiogon, so I can't send messages. I have a couple of output tubes (using Sylvania bad bo... 
Amplifier recommendation
@helomech What did you use for a preamp with the No 8?  I upgraded from an older Coda to the No 8.  I don't find it lacking in bass at all.   
Six DAC Comparison
@mitch2   Thank you for the write up on the LTA Aero Dac.  Very informative and well written. Out of curiosity, what tubes were in the dac?  I ask because the sound from my LTA MicroZotl preamp varies greatly with different tubes.  A kinda pricey... 
UPGRADE PATH FROM CHORD QUTEST DAC
@boulder_bob   Gustard has a newish model, the X30.  Looks really interesting.  It's $3k, but seems like a lot of bang for the buck. There are rumors of a R30 which would be an upgrade to the R26 r2r dac.  Not sure when it might be out.   I have ...

@ihmeyers I just ordered an interconnect from Mike. He responded to emails on a Sunday. Shipped the cable this morning.   
AA for us
I'm 100% guilty of trying to obtain the best sound possible, but I put limits on how much I will spend.  Not how much I could afford, but what I feel is approaching the area of diminishing returns.  When I got seriously got into this hobby, there... 
Streamer, Dac,with Pre Amp
The Gustard R26 dac has a built-in renderer/streamer that you can use with software like Audivarna.  It's around $1600.  You could also pair it with a Node for a little more than 2K.  Personally, I think the built in renderer sounds a little bette... 
Can you think of a reason not to?
I would guess you'd gain more from a 2 channel preamp than a 2 channel amp. Just guessing.  I'm fond of a tube preamp paired with a solid state amp.  As mentioned, if you haven't sold your subwoofers, I would keep two of them and run a stereo pai...
