Thank you Tom. I plan on doing some room treatments eventually. Almost did a few months back, but then life got in the way.

Actually, I've been referring to 2-ch audio the entire time. Also, instead of purchasing long expensive balanced cables, you can (if your subs allow it), speaker cables from your main amps to the high level inputs on the subwoofers, which I believe sounds better anyway. And to do so, you do...

Again, please read the entire thread as this has already been discussed.

Old post, but just for clarification, with the JL e110/e112 subs, when using their built-in crossovers to high-pass to the mains (using the pre-outs to the main amp), JL uses a Linkwitz 24 dB /octave crossover. And this is NOT a set crossover point. The subs crossover point for the pre-outs is...

Adcom is known for supplying decent current, hence why your ML's sound good with it. The GFA-6000 is capable of delivering full power in to all channels without output sag, unlike most HT receivers where the more channels that are active, the less output you get from each channel. The...

Well, since no one else will post here, I'll go ahead and post a little more. An update in fact. Schiit Aegir amps gone, replaced with a 22 year old Roksan Caspian Mk I amplifier. The Polk Audio PSW505 subwoofers now replaced with my JL Audio e110 subs after sitting in the closet for the past...

You can get by with one, but two is better for smoothing out room modes, plus sharing the work across two subs instead of one. And if running two, it's probably best to use matching pairs. As for the second half of your question, you don't want the subs in the same location as the main...

Current cone/suspension/motor technology on subwoofer drivers these days, you don't always have to have large drivers to accomplish the same thing. There are plenty of solid 10" subwoofers out there that can easily compete with larger 12", 13" and 15" subs. I'm not too sure in the home audio...

I would say something about those kinds of people, but I'll be nice and keep my mouth shut on this one...

It's a MUST for MUSIC as well.

And that right there is the biggest misconception about subwoofers, and why almost everyone is completely clueless about subwoofers.

No. Again, that's totally wrong, and I'm not going to explain it again. Just re-read my post. But hey, if you want to miss out and have sub-par performance, then so be it.

No, I meant it that way. If people are willing to spend $10k, $15k, $20K on a pair of speakers, then they should be willing to spend a considerable amount on subwoofers as well instead of cheaping out, cutting corners and saying they "don't need subs because their speakers blah, blah, blah"...

I much prefer the simple, single dim red LED behind the grill of my SL3's.

As usual, this is totally wrong when this subject comes up, and that is NOT what Amey01 meant. First off, who cares about this chart? It has nothing to do with anything discussed here. Everyone always posts this chart in an attempt to get a point across when it comes to bass and subwoofers...

And lastly, that is one handsome horse right there!

Oh, BTW... I sold my Aegir amps and am now using a 22 year old Roksan Caspian Mk I amp, rated at 70 watts @ 8 ohms and 120 watts @ 4 ohms (40 watts LESS than the mono Aegir amps). The real kicker here though is that it is capable of delivering over 50 amps of current. This amp plays extremely...

I can assure you Paul never said "watts are watts". And it's quite a bit more than Ohms Law. And for anologies... You can have a modified 2.0 liter four cylinder Honda engine cranking out 600 hp, and you can have a giant 15 liter Cummings inline-6 diesel engine also churning out 600 hp. Which...
