Best bass in Earth! Bass that just smells right...
Sub madness...they're swarming! I get it, but I also get great bass from a couple of RELs, so hey...at least I am part of the "multiple sub" subgroup. 
Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure
Is it just me or is 15,000 clams for a single driver speaker pair seem somewhat pricey? I know...it's me...damn... 
Who used and Freya S and stayed with it ?
Try the Freya + as it's only slightly more expensive. I have the original version and it's superb...stupendous...a marvel...astonishing... 
Schiit Aegir
I think the Aegir amp sounds great, but not greater than a single ended tube amp I have...so I sent it back. I yammer about this at length in the "Schiit not that good?" thread, and note that I'm a Schiit fan except when the Schiit hits the fan, s... 
Schiit not that Good?
I have zero interest in ANY transistor power amp (I’ll read about them...otherwise, no no no) in my main listening heap, class d or a or a/b or yer mama. I’m limited to efficient speakers, but that’s just fine as they tend to hurl the sound at my ... 
Schiit not that Good?
I had 2 Aegirs, the first was too sensitive and shut itself off with little prompting (at not so loud levels), and the one that replaced it would only shut off at more extreme levels so I assumed it was working as designed...still, although I don'... 
i'm looking for something that may not exist
I'll wait for "punctuation sam." 
Floor protection from spikes
I use Vibrapods under my Heresy IIIs, and did under my previous SIlverline Preludes also (the Preludes sat on maple butcher blocks).  I put stick-on felt pads under the "pods" so they can't mar the floor and I can micro move the Heresies or simply... 
Two subs or not two subs...
The bad news about my particular RELs is that REL informed me that they don't service that model anymore, so if one stops working I'd have to fish around for a repair...oh well...the good news is they currently work perfectly. 
Klipsch Forte III--Pleasantly Surprised
Please allow me to retract everything I said about the RCA tubes as I meant GEs...it's NOS GE 6SN7GTBs I prefer, and I have no idea why I call them RCAs of which I have none. Thank you. 
Schiit not shipping
Just a note about Schiit service...I had an issue with an Aegir that turned itself off too easily, and they sent me another one immediately with excellent communication and no baloney...no return shipping fee for the rejected amp, no fees for the ... 
Schiit not that Good?
I haven't heard every Schiit product, but I am very fond of my Freya, Loki, and two Magni IIIs...all of these are relatively inexpensive, as is the Aegir that I didn't like so much and sent back since I prefer my single ended tube amp.  
How good can it get, really? - my stereo sounds amazing!
No point around here isn’t worth missing it seems...If your room doesn’t need treatment because its inherent acoustics are fine...not dead, but fine...it might even sound like a room, then don’t worry about it. If you live in a large tomato can or... 
Two subs or not two subs...
I use 2 REL subs, a Q150e and a Q108MKII, and they were inexpensive and sound excellent. The more the merrier as far as subs go, but 2 are plenty for my tastes. Note that the clear "position" of the bass player in a jazz group is determined by the... 
Two Nice Small Tweaks to Klipsch Forte III Loudspeakers
I have Heresy IIIs and damped the horn with Dynamat, and put Vibrapods under the corners of the speakers...the Dynamat doesn't do too much, or if it does I had forgotten what the speakers sounded like before damping the horns and really should hav...
