How is the Speakon connector wired for REL sub?
brf, thanks for that explanation. I have Googled for hours to find the wiring spec, as I need to make my own high level connection. 
Eminent Technology LFT-8b in Harry's system
Bruce Frederick, I also used Xindak. Also liked it, but very much like the Audiomica Dolomit Reference cable I now have. Not biwire configuration. Using pure silver cable as jumpers. Powered by Hypex Ncore400 amps, with Vandersteen 2wq subwoofers ... 
Power amp for Modwright LS100
@bluejeans, what did you settle on?I have my LS100 (with Psavane tubes) paired with Hypex Ncore 400, amps, Eminent Technology LFT8b's and Vandy subs. Happy chappy!The KWA 150se seems like a winner, but my speakers are not efficient and not sure if... 
Pairing Planar Speakers With A Subwoofer (Eminent Technology)
@mitch4t , your room is stunning but dsp would, I imagine, be a must with all that glass and no room treatment. I find JRiver's onboard options very useful- even without any room correction software (just playing Alan Parsons' test tones and sweep... 
Pairing Planar Speakers With A Subwoofer (Eminent Technology)
I have paired them with  a pair of Vandersteen 2Wq subwoofers. Superb, seamless and I consider it a 3-in-1 upgrade as the unique feedforward design of the 2Wq's frees up more juice for these power hungry speakers, which benefit also by only having...

@analogluvr That’s where I’m headed. If I could just find a parts list and circuit diagram...

Simulating a veld fire sounds way harder than setting up a sub or two :)

I read that gdnrbob but I can't hear any subwoofers, just music, which is fine by me. Numbers are 16128 and 16236.If you've been here you know the diversity of flora. I'm in a sub- tropical part and gardening in summer (now) is mostly cutting back...

Thank you for your very kind offer gdnrbob!I suspect we are half a world away (I'm in South Africa) so won't take you up on it. I may be tempted never to return them :)Inexpensive? I am buying the subs for about $2220. They are not new, though see...

JohnnyR- "detuned" my tweeters, so some relief there :)I've not heard a lot of affordable subs (I do not consider Gryphon Pendragon or Acoustic Avantgarde affordable) and have been using an old REL and B&W ASW700, so these are a considerable u...

Thanks all. I promise I have read and understood the manual.As I said I will reassess when I have my Cary DAC back (the Pink Floyd WTF happened moment was cos of the usb DAC and uber harsh upper frequency glare)Hifiman- 50K is what I need.JohhnyR,...

Thanks Jim. I listened to the Soular Energy album earlier. DAC aside, it sounded excellent. My tweeters are adjustable so may lower the setting to spare my ears. Pink Floyd, More, was a nails on blackboard affair. Reminded me of a couple of Rotel ...

Thanks for the responses. I may have come across as a bit dim (and probably am) but made a typo. hifiman5- I do have it at 50, I do know what the Q does (and means). I wasn’t sure what changing the db setting would do, but will experiment. As I sa...

Yes to both questions, though the ms-hp crossover is way beyond my non-existent budget.
