| Guttenberg and Quad Electrostatics Former quad owner here. Two thoughts... back in their time, there almost nothing like them in their ability to produce open and hauntingly dimensional sound for some types of music...(many speakers do that now). And... some days you like chocolate... | |
| Subwoofer matching Blending a single sub with the mains and getting the tone/impact you are looking for is much more difficult in a small room. What is your room size? Are you planning to use REW for measurements and or some form of DSP measurement and equalization? | |
| SVS vs REL and experiences with both: your comments and preferences... My son has a sealed SVS 2000 Pro in a 3500 cubic foot room in his music only system. $900 in the gloss finish...looks to me well made and arrives well packed. Great sub, tiny, completely disappears. Runs his mains full range and brings the SV... | |

| Subwoofer for large room My suggestion is for dual Power Sound Audio S1500s. I’m running one in a 10,000 cubic foot room... great tone, lots of slam. | |

| Do you use a Subwoofer when listening to stereo? @emergingsoul Im not sure you ever said whether the sound/bass you are getting from your mains is satisfying?moving lower frequencies off the mains may allow you to play louder... may result in lower distortion... may or may not result in an audib... | |

I’ve got a buddy who has gone completely opposite. 14x15’ room with 10’ ceilings, hardwood on concrete, drywall... listening sofa backed up to the rear wall... subs in both front corners... speakers pulled out ... | |
| Discussion of Class D Amps Application & Experiences @falconquest One thing I’ve observed over the years is that every amp I’ve owned has sounded different from the others; sometimes the differences were small, sometimes large. I’ve concluded that there is not better or worse as much as which amps s... | |
