| 2 subwoofers - 1 brand? If you add a 2nd sub, I would do it as a stereo sub which means you will need the same brand and model. | |
| Adding subwoofer to Full-Ragne Speakers question I'm no EE, but I'm gotten different answers to this. There are a number of different factors at work.1. The bass waveform places a significant demand on your amplifier. If you use a powered sub and cut off the low bass with some kind of crossover,... | |
| Duty free or not? Sometimes I have been charged a brokerage fee by UPS, sometimes not. I have never paid the fee and they have never come looking. | |
| Forte amplifiers: design and specifications FYI I agree, the Model 1 I had for a while a year or 2 ago, was a very nice sounding amp, and given its age and cost, rather amazing. | |
| Subwoofer and Von Schweikert 4 series Blindjim is correct. If you have a good, neutral speaker, high quality electronics will provide an amazing improvement in performance. But great speakers with a modest quality front end will not measure up. More on point, when I heard the VR-4 Gen... | |
| No posting from me for awhile Have fun. Looking forward to seeing the results. | |
| Sota owners -- help needed re: reflex clamp I'm thinking that they may include it with their top of the line 'table, cause buyers expect the whole monty. | |

| Great country music recording Acoustic + pedal steel = dobro means Jerry Douglas. Ain't no-one better anywhere, any time, anyhow. He plays with A. Krauss on the Live 2Cd set, also his new solo effort is Look Out For Hope. | |
| Speakers to Mate with McCormack? Vandys are a great choice. Von Schweikerts are excellent, as well, but hard to imagine them at $2500 used, given they are only abut 6 months old and getting rave reviews. 3Asigs would set you back about $2500 but you would want more muscle. 2CE si... | |

| SS amp to mate with an Audio Research SP-16L Canucks0- Long time 'goners know that for ss, I am a big fan of SMC-modded McCormacks. At $1500, you should be able to find a Level A or B+ moded DNA 1 @ 185 wpc, or an A+ 0.5 if you can get by at 100 wpc. Hard to imagine a better amp for the $, IM). | |
