Left and right subwoofers with integrated
@erikt  No you aren't missing anything. Just semantics. When I said "single pre out" I meant a single left/right output.@noble100  Tim. My speakers are Vienna Acoustics Mozart Grand SE's and their rated response is 30Hz – 22kHz. The SVS sub low pa... 
Left and right subwoofers with integrated
@millercarbon Thanks for the quick and clear response. My life is suddenly easier, which is a very rare occurrence these days. 
Does the first reflection point actually matter??
Personally I never quite understood the idea of the "first reflection point", but simply deferred to popular opinion. If speakers generate sound in a cone-shaped pattern in both horizontal and vertical planes, then why is the first reflection on t... 
High Performance Audio - The End?
It's an interesting point, but all it will take is a new form of digital recording and playback and then it's back to square one.A scary proposition. 
Tin Foil Hat Audio
Not to be pedantic, but "tin foil" has not existed for perhaps 80 years. Today, we use the much more progressive "aluminum foil hat". Shiny side in always.

Jazz vocalists which may not be as real as we think/imagine
Wow. Now we have not only "fake news", but "fake singers".My suggestion would be to listen to Diana Krall's "Live in Paris" and perhaps entertain the notion that you are completely out to lunch on this. 
Who knows how to set up a bass swarm? (DBA)
+2 European or African swallow? 
is this the greatest live band of all time?
The gold standard is Bruce Springsteen at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver back in 1978. 3+ hours of perfection. In the mix:Elton John (in the 1970's)ToolRory GallagherTim BuckleyPink FloydAny opera at the Met 
Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles?
So, in your world we should become a prideful, elitist group of snobs that looks down on the world from on high? The "worthy" and the "rabble"?In my world, an audiophile is anyone that cares deeply about music and regardless of what he can afford,... 
Sexy singer(s) and/or song(s)
In no particular order.Peggy Lee, Sade, Etta James, Linda Ronstadt, Patsy Cline, Dusty Springfield, Amy Winehouse, Christine McVie, Diana Krall, Nora Jones and many more. 
Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles?
Considering what is happening in the world at this moment, shouldn't we trying to include people and not divide? Leave that up to Donald. Besides, it is the pursuit of audio enlightenment that we seek.The path we take is irrelevant. 
Unbelievable
I prefer the matte black finish. More tube-like sound. 
is it possible to make digital audio sound like vintage vinyl
It seems to me that the goal isn't to make digital sound like vinyl.The goal is to make digital sound like real instruments and human voices. 
Who's done it besides me ?
I still have a Supex 900 Super body without cantilever that serves as a reminder of a "Momentary Lapse of Reason". My condolences.
