A warning to all about HUGE Subwoofers
The only damage my subwoofers caused was the drywall screws backing out , you could see rows of screws where the studs were . they got so bad that I had to rescrew the walls then laminate a second layer of drywall to the first layer using no screw...

Sonus Faber Amati Futura
Inpieces .. No , I was not trying to be graceful , with the right amps these babies sang there hearts out . But they just didn't come to life with the smallish but excellent tube amps that my friend was using . I no I'll get scolded from the tubey... 
Your best ''outstanding'' products in last 5 yrs?
Many products were purchased in the past five years , all mid fi type stuff and I think all were worth the effort , but the " most outstanding " would have to be the Ayre KX-R preamp and the Revel Salon 1 speakers . They replaced an A.R.C Ref 3 pr... 
Black Diamond Racing Shelf for EMM CDSA?
Just checked with BD , the thick shelfs are discontinued .I thought I read that the shelfs were 25x less resonant than 8" of M.D.F. If our materials scientist is still with us , is it true that sandstone is less resonant than granite ?

Rgs .. Right on . I've become unhappy with unstable things like springs , cones , balls , spikes ect . I have slowly started to go to solid turntable type platforms for all components with no lose in sound quality , in fact the bass has become fir...

One of our club members purchased a set of Futura's . They sounded fairly good once run in for a few hundred hours , but we all agreed ( for once ) that they should be better , so we started bringing other members amps over and found the bigger so... 
how do you pick your next music?
The choice is mood dependent , the bad news is , it seems like we have a top 30 or 40 list and the rest rarely get played .

What happened to my bass?
I have found larger rooms seem to have more bass , I won't try to argue why this should or should not be , but in the recent past I have had 4 different sound rooms and the bigger ones always seem to produce more bass , and less room related probl... 
The downward spiral.....
I owned a set of Quad 57s , they were great in there day . A few months back I heard a set at a friends/club members , and although they were ok they were not close to todays mid fi or better speakers . The past was great but I couldn't go back .

Is One Subwoofer Really Not Appropriate For 2-Chnl
Two is better for your situation , but more important is getting the right match for your speakers . One will work too and alot easier to set up than two . 
Has anyone tried the new Shunyata interconnects?
I'm very sceptical about interconnects that cost that much , but then I said that about there power cords before I bought seven of them . 
Endless debate: monitor + sub vs floorstanding
