Michael Fremer leaves Analog Planet
Bringing back Art Bell would be earth shaking considering his present status. MF is quick on his feet and opinionated.  As someone yet to add a second arm to my turntable, I enjoy his energy and his Trump like rough edges.  He would certainly tak... 
Cd transport
I am returning the Audiolab 6000 CDT and Audioquest Cinnamon digital cable. This combination lacked air and was flat when compared to streaming Qobuz.  This includes most CD quality streaming.  This doesn't mean that this transport is bad, but it ...

What integrated did you get?   McIntosh MA12000 If you don’t want to add a highpass crossover (hard with some integrated amps) I would pass on the subs. It will be a phasy mess without one.  What subs have great electronic crossovers?

Lots of great information.  I now believe that two subs are best.  I also agree that I should wait to see if I need to go that far.  I'm really not looking for more base as much as more authority and clarity.  I really don't want a high pass filte...

I was going to buy from and have installed by the folks that are setting up the Wilson's.  That is why I posted prior to speaker installation. I want to feed the subs setting the lower crossover point, but I don't intend on having the Wilson's fe...

Two E-Sub E112s seem like a better approach than one Fathom.  In theory it moves more air.  I would lose balanced inputs and automatic calibration. I wish that I could use my Anthem ARC to measure the room.  I'll have to look into this.

Smaller subs .. Do you have specific speakers in mind? For example REL suggest their S/812 as a mono sub, or S/510 as a dual.  The smaller T9x doesn't have the low end extension needed.  My dealer carries the 12" Fathom v2, but at $5k it would be...

First, all of my listening has been done at the dealer with the same amplifier that I use in my listening room.  My Wilson's are about one month out.  Since this speaker is an entry level product for Wilson, I was interested to see what happened t... 
Looking to replace a CD transport...
I just purchased an Audiolab CDT6000, but using Audioquest Cinnamon Coaxial into my McIntosh MA 12000, the CDs mostly sounded flat compared to streaming Qubuz/Roon via iFi Zen Streamer/iFi aftermarket PS and Cinnamon USB. This might be a deficit ...
