| Are these Duelund wires good for interconnects- Whilst I have found that Duelund wire with cotton/oil insulation is very good for interconnects I now prefer to use Solid Copper with AirLok insulation from VH Audio for many of my DIY cables. It provides more details and better dynamic perofrmanc... | |

| Pure Audio Project open baffle speakers @mijostyn - your statement about very low bass - are you thinking about "LFE style" low bass (below 20 Hz) or the bass produced by stringed instruments e.g. low A on a concert piano is around 27 Hz.Thanks | |

| What 4 subwoofers to buy? What is your definition of a "lower end sub"?- Is it based on price point?, or performance?Are you looking to augment music or LFE’sWhat do you hope to gain with 4 subs? why not just two subs?I see the SVS SB1000s have a 12" driver and cost $599 e... | |
| Good Match for BlueSound PowerNode 2i I use the PowerNode 2 for my A/V system, driving a pair of Tannoy Fusion 4 (89db sensitivity). It does a very good job, but I think it could be even better if the speakers were around 91/92 db. The sub brings in the LFE's and bass punch and the im... | |
