Sealed Subwoofer Recommendation
If you have a large room...go with a pair of subs. Place them near the mains and the blend will be seamless. While I have never played around with the Velodyne DD15...most agree that it's a pretty darn good sub.The fact that you could not get it t... 
General question on PC audio set-up
A USB converter, or DAC...Foobar or Winamp software player along with the (ASIO plugin and driver) sounds pretty darn good IMO. Cost....$75-$500 depending on what you buy.I'm using a cheap "XITEL" converter ($75)....digital cable directly from the... 
Rogue Cronus too bright

Kappa 9. Parasound HCA-3500 WILL NOT power them
Surprising that the amp has a problem driving them, did the (current overload lights) turn red?...how about the (heat temp indicator light)...did it turn red? Parasound says that the amp can drive loads below 2 ohms...short term basis.The book on ... 
Cheap external DAC for DVD player
I have a Panasonic 47S, Pioneer 563A, and Technics A-10...all DVD players. The Pioneer and the Panasonic were both around $100 or so when I bought them, the Technics around $400.I've tried them all as transports in the past...the Pioneer was the c... 
How high do subs go
Like Duke said: "In my opinion if you're crossing over that high you should have stereo subwoofers, and you should place them symmetrically near the main speakers"Dave
