Where to go next with the turntable
mijostyn The SME looks interesting. Honestly that is a brand I'd forgotten about.  As for the speaker set up: I'm sticking with my integrated Hegel H390 so doing all this crossovers, digital preamp and tri-amping is not going to happen. It's too ...

  wspohn,  The bass is fine with digital. Hegel H390, 250wpc, Magnepan 3.7i and a pair of SVS SB-3000 subs.

Where to go next with the turntable
FYI,  The room is custom built to be a listening room and there are room treatments. Digital sounds just fine, so no adjustments to the room will be needed.  Don't get me wrong, the sound is great and the Hegel is a big improvement from what I ha...

newbee, Those are the Vortex Acoustics (Von Schweikert) VR-35 speakers. They are designed to be close to the wall, kinda like the old Snells. ghdprentice I have a virtual system and uploaded 2 photos there. erik_squires I have tried taking the ... 
Subs with room correction DSP?
mijostyn Thanks for the advice but 2 things:  1: My speakers claimed frequency response is 25Hz-30kHz but I see a drop off in the bass around 35Hz so the subs are just filling in the very bottom.   2: I use an integrated amp, so I'm not able to us...
