How low can one hear Huh?? Say again
The reason subs work well is because at around 60hz your ear can no longer pick-up it's location with ease. At around 25hz in my room you can hardly hear the sub even though it still measures 80 db on the spl meter...you can feel the room begin to... 
Pass XA 160 review:life span is 6 years?
I have one of those Monster Krells (Ksa-250), 20 years? Mine went in at 11 years. Krells response after rebuild:It should sound better than new and last another 10 years or so.None of the amps that run hot will last as long as cooler running amps ... 
mono amp for sub
EldartfordThat was my point although you said it much better. My Onkyo M-504 has large power meters, at 60hz. and below my Vmps subs hardly draw over 100 watts even at extream volume levels. Those power levels are peak at that!90% of music is in t... 
Review: H2o Audio Signature Monoblocks
Thanks for the review, I have been interested in these amps for a while now. A member of the planer speaker forum at Audio Asylum has just tried the stereo version with his Maggies...he was as impressed as you.Dave 
"Analog" = bloated, rolled off, soft and mushy?
" and what does it mean, when someone says, it's the most "analog" sounding player? "They mean that they really would rather listen to vinyl but in it's absence this will have to doDave 
mono amp for sub
Not sure why you would want to waste an amp like the Bryston in the first place, subs need no such amp.I use an Onkyo M-504 to drive my Vmps subs...over-kill to say the least.Dave 
mono amp for sub
Try one of the many new digital amps...small, very powerful and fast. Some can even be found as mono-block. Of course a stereo unit can also be used with only one channel used unless you added another sub some day.What sub are you using by the way... 
Yamaha HT Receiver&Sony DVD player = No DTS
If the dvd has a DTS soundtrack, you will need to select DTS playback from the disc itself. All Dvds do not have DTS soundtracks and the ones that do defalt to DD over DTS.At least mine do.Dave 
Sony Legacy SACD Players - SCD-1, 777ES, XA-777ES
I don't own a Sony player but have in the past...never had a problem with any of them that I can remember. The last Sony I owned was the XA-777es, very well built and worked like a charm.You guys may me thinking of Philips?, I recall reading not m... 
BAT Solid State Amps?
The Bat Vk-500 was no match for the Krell Ksa-250 on my Apogee Duetta Signatures...it strained and became harsh. It was pretty good amp over-all though and I would still rate it 4 out of 5 in the big SS amp camp with the Krell being a 4.5 because ... 
subs for music
ArafelWoofers don't need to be quick...there is nothing quick about 30hz compared to the rest of the freq's. Most subs that don't mate well with small speakers are the falt of the speakers...not the sub. Know this, in order to mate a sub with a sp... 
subs for music
Get rid of the fat pre-amp first. Your room needs much treatment next.Fast bass? What is that? 30hz is 30hz. You have been reading to many Audiogon posts.Dave 
Speakers for vocalists
Apogee or Maggies IMHO...I own Apogee but could live with Maggies if I had to.Dave

Review: Rogue Audio Zeus Tube amp
Thanks for the review, the Zeus has not been talked about to any great extent on any of the forums I visit. I wonder how it would mate-up with my Apogee Duetta Signatures. I hope Rooze gives one a try! Did Rogue give any idea on tube life with tha...
