Location of surround speakers for music
Unless you need to create added height (angular incidence to cause the ear to perceive the sound as higher)all main and surround speakers should be at a height that conveys a realistic sound and surround stage height.This may also be impacted by t... 
Ampzilla 2000 Mono block V1 vs V2
I beleive the primary difference is the V2 is 300wpc compared to 200wpc for the V1. 
best vintage 70s, 80s amp?
Harman Kardon CITATION Series from Lee Kuby were very good. Circa mid 70's.I had the CITATION 16 amps and the CITATION 17 Preamp. Still have the CITATION 19 power amp for my SUBS. 
what the best amps run revel salon2 stronger bass
I might suggest that before you blame your BASS problems on your amp that you make sure your room supports bass.If you have not explored your room related bass problems and treating your room for them, NO amp will make any difference at all. 
B&K Vs. Nuforce, Monarchy, Pass labs X-150
FYI = B&K is reported to have ceased operations if that might make a difference in your decision. 
2 subwoofers and frequency response
Thanks Summitavso if it is +/- 3db @ 22hz how many DB would it change? I had a fellow audiophile say that each sub would allow you to hear the FR at 3db louder what do you think ?What it will do is make the "complete" FR louder due to the fact tha... 
bypass amp on receiver
I think you will also need to disconnect the KLIPSCH when you do this so that both are not playing at the same time. 
4.1 HT?
Some might find it interesting to shut down their mains and run a good quality CENTER with a sub and surrounds.Movies and DVD tracks are mixed for the CENTER.There have been times that I have forgotten to "turn on" the monoblocs for the mains and ... 
2 subwoofers and frequency response
I will try placing them as close to each other on the front wall. I guess my question would be if my f110 fq response is 22 hz then how low would 2 take me?Actually it doesn't change the F3 at all. It just allows them to play louder (together) whi... 
Debate on a whole front end change
LOL!!You know I am in agreement with you.While Pops is currently no wanting, if he follows your advice he will likely be amazed at how much he has taught you about becoming an Audiophile.Good luck.See you next month. 
How to Hook Up 4 Dq-10 speakers
Summitav - I think you may have explained how to do it, but I'm a novice and don't quite understand. Currently the Tandberg amp running 2 Dq10s is more than sufficient, as is the Tandberg amp running the 2 subwoofers. Do I need a 3rd amp to run th... 
How to Hook Up 4 Dq-10 speakers
If speakers were stacled vertically, wouldn't all the drivers, on a relative basis, be similarly oriented to the listener?Because different size drivers produce diferent sized wave lengths and dispersion patterns the comb filtering occurs as those... 
Need Help Starting from Scratch
Those klipsch speakers are a complete steal. It may make me change my plans and go with active speakers. I am a KLIPSCH dealer and would suggest you tread lightly on those active speakers you have been pointed to.They "are not" close to some of th... 
What a difference curtains make...WOW
The more room treatments (even if they are thick curtains) the more you hear your speakers and less of the room.
