How much do you have to spend, to get a good Sub?
"What's your budget? For music I'd go with a pair of sealed subs. You can get a pair of SVS SB12s for $1149 and free shipping. Tough to beat I'd think."I have to agree with Soix on this one. The performance/$$$ ratio is very high with SVS.Bill 
Old Flagship Vs New Mid-Level Receiver
The B&K AVR 507 is one great sounding HT receiver. Not many offerings today can top it's musical prowess. The Onkyo 818 with XT32 can probably get you pretty close but will not be as "warmish" as the B&K but pretty close to neutral, the wa... 
Looking to get started. please help
"No doubt the NAD will sound much better than the Onkyo,"Infinite wisdom would suggest that but not in every case. I have the Integra version(DMT-40.4) of the Onkyo TX-8050 and let me tell you, with my Klipsch Heresys in my 13x13 room, it sounds f... 
Which subs to consider with my setup?
Bonginator,How much can you spend for a sub or subs? Your room is pretty large so you will need a pretty large and powerful sub with at least a 13 inch woofer to really charge that room. I recently added an SVS SB13 Plus(95% same as SB13 Ultra) to... 
Need multi-channel that's great on 2 channel
Heywaj10,I too think NAD AVR's do very well with 2-channel. I own a NAD T773 receiver(2004 flagship) and a NAD T175HD prepro and both IMO hold their own with 2-channel music.Bill 
Looking for a Nice Simple Good Sounding Preamp...
I agree with the NAD C165Bee but also the B&K PT-3 MkII. The B&K can be found for as little as $125.00 to $250.00 and to me, either is a bargain.Also another good budget choice is the Parasound 2100.Bill 
Need opinion of which subs to get
"I am leaning towards the SVS sb12-nsd as cost is somewhat an issue. BTW rooms measurements are 13 x 24."Jerry,Dual SVS SB12-NSD's would be a fine choice for that room size. I do understand budget restraints and they definitely factor in most of m... 
Need opinion of which subs to get
Jerry,How big is your room? I just picked up a mint SVS SB13 Plus which is about 95% as the same sub as the SVS SB13 Ultra. I am totally blown away by this sub for music and HT. I added the SVS to my existing Revel B15 which I consider the most mu... 
12v triggered power strip?
Kooshballa,I don't have an answer but was wondering the same thing. I also have an A200x3 and an A200 and want to try that also. Hope someone experienced with this method chimes again. Thanks for asking this question.Bill 
Revel b15a LFO software help
Starje(Jeff),That is great news. As mentioned by Internetmin, you will love this sub. While the B15a is a great plug and play subwoofer, the LFO software will improve on things and really can seamlessly blend your sub with your mains.With that sai... 
New Acurus and Aragon amps. Anyone hear them yet?
RG,Funny you started this thread. I was going to ask the same question to the forum. I have been using an Acurus A200 and an A200FIVE for quite some time and I just can't get enough of them. I just bought an A200x3 here on A-gon so I will be selli...

Best beer
Went to a Super Bowl party and brought a 6 pack of Breckenridge Brewery Vanilla Porter. It was the beer hit of the party. Everyone agreed very drinkable, not too sweet like a dessert beer, but still a pleasant vanilla taste with an earthy but smoo... 
Velodyne - SPL or HGS?
The HGS models(10, 12, 15, 18) were the flagship line in the late 90's through early 2000's. Even today, without built in EQ, the HGS models can hold there own with many quality subwoofers of today both musically and for HT.Bill 
NAD M-15 vs Emotiva umc-200
I can't speak for the Emotiva but I am using the NAD M15's brother pre/pro the T175HD and I don't think I could be more pleased with the sound quality. Very open soundstage with plenty of depth and a slight warmness while retaining spot on detail....
