Quack System Upgrades
I'm thankful for everything I've learned on these discussion boards over the years.I wish you all a Happy New Year! 
You were right about adding a sub.
Imhififan-Thanks for the help! I looked and they offer a 80hz version as well. I think that will get me close enough to try. If it works out, I'll be able to use my wireless sub trans/rec and have more placement flexibility. Thanks again!gary

rbsteho,I gain a lot of top end definition when I cut the low frequencies from the Ushers.With your suggestion, I'll try running the speakers full range.Did you try the speaker level route with your Ushers? I was surprised at the difference, due t...

Bdp24,That's the Rythmik I'm interested in- thanks for the feedback. Seems to be a good fit for my needs. I own a dual 8" Mirage that sounds nice for music in my bedroom system. It blends nicely with some Silver Monitor Audio speakers.I think it w...

Thanks slaw, Happy Holidays!

ct0517,I had the golden flute bass filter (think that was the name) installed when I had the 801's. At the time I could not give them the power they deserved probably.I sold them locally and the guy still has them last I knew. Gary

Slaw, My room is 14x18, with the 18' area opening into a foyer/dining room about 14' deep.The room has carpet, heavy drapes, etc. Aside from the opening to the rear, it is open to the kitchen adjacent to the left speaker. I have no specific room t...

Slaw,My integrated doesn't have a pre out and amp in. Only pre out. I'm thinking I can use the RCA inputs on the sub if I place the sub between the preamp and amp.With my current setup I don't know another way to cut the low frequencies from my ma...

Slaw, good feedback, thanks. With my current setup I can't cut freqs using line level inputs. I own a preamp and tube monos that would let me try it out- at some point I'll switch the gear around.Are you cutting low freqs to your Ushers, or runnin...

Bondmap,What a great feeling! I'm loving it but feel like the right sub would give me a little more mid bass definition and taughtness. I own a dspeaker sub processor that may help but it's still in my home theater setup. Can't use it with the spe...

Bdp24,I assume the capacitor would be installed inside the Integrated, since my unit has no 'amplifier in' jacks. I do have pre out jacks, fwiw. Unfortunately, my modding skills are um...well... I don't have any! I do need to learn different ways ...

I appreciate everyone's comments. The Sound Cylinder sounds pretty good in the blend- but I'm still dialing it in.My aging Mirage dual 8" sub sounds great in my bedroom system. I've been reading up on subs designed primarily for music and I'm like...

Bdp24, no offense taken. What sub do you recommend? I've read about Rel but never heard one personally. Srosenberg, I'll check the article out. I don't have a way to move the sub closer without losing the ability to cut frequencies from the mains.... 
________ is an artist I did not expect to like but was pleasantly surprised.
I somehow ended up with a Moby disc titled 'b sides and rarities' - I'll give it a whirl.Looking forward to trying some of the artists on this thread. Thanks for starting it! 
2.0 Stereo speakers on a $2000 budget?
Nadamp,You have been given some good options, although somewhat diverse. I've owned Vandersteens, Magnepans, and Silverline. My advice is take your time and balance your risk/reward. Audition speakers in your room with your gear if possible- prefe...
