As much as I would love to explore this option, until I have a dedicated listening room, it’s just not going to happen. My only option was a single sub, and I ... | |
| Best Way to Spend ~ $2000 for System Improvement Some great advice has already been given - an active preamp or cabling are great ways to inject a little 'caffeine' into your system. For the former, Atma-Sphere and Modwright are tops on my list. For the later, perhaps some nice silver IC's mig... | |
