Add a subwoofer?
To improve the sound quality you would need to add two 15” subs and a two way crossover. I disagree with this completely.  You don’t need 15” subs as even 12” subs will be more than adequate in your situation, and using the adjustments on a goo... 
Which preamp for Quicksilver mono amps?
What preamp are you using now and what specific improvements are you looking for.  Also, what’s your budget and are you looking for new or used?  
Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC
From the way it reads, not at the level of Merason @wig  Where did you get that from?  He only mentioned the LAiV Harmony and totaldac d1 in the review and no mention of the Merason that I saw.

Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC

Creativity on artists I dislike
Weird Al Yankadick — not that he’s even a real artist but can’t stand him nonetheless.
