Subwoofers for Magnepan 1.7 + Bonus positioning question
I'd like to thank all of you for your thoughts and suggestions. I do appreciate your time. I got myself some SVS sb1000 pro subs and I'm having a fine time trying to figure out all the settings.  I almost forgot to mention that I didn't stack the... 
List a song so important to you that it can never be on a playlist
@trivema  and @milo0812  Funny how several of us chose Jackson Browne. It's a tossup for me between Rock Me on the Water and The Pretender.

I'd prefer new and would like to a spend not much more than a thousand for a pair.  
New Integrated amp recommendation
Auditioned and bought a Hegel H400 at an audio store in Wilmington, DE. A great store that had a pair of Magnepan 1.7s to compare against my current integrated. Unfortunately they don't have Revels in their line up. It's a long drive from S Caroli... 
Qobuz Connect
Using Qobuz with my Hegel H400 with no problems at all.  
Sunshine, Lollipops And Rainbows
Of your examples I really enjoyed I’m a Believer and Everything is Beautiful, back in their day. The others all have a similar sentiment but don’t suit my taste. Happy favorites: Walk of Life - Dire Straits Knock, Knock - Lenka All Night Long -... 
Downsize from C2200/MC275 to integrated SS
Very happy with a Hegel h400 but no phono stage which is fine with me. It sounds sublime with Qobuz connect.  
Your first concert was to see who and when?
Iron Butterfly! In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida Baby!  Electric Factory Philadelphia 1969.  
Qobuz Connect Launched Yesterday
Listened to Qobuz Connect today and was very, very impressed with some of the hi-res recordings. My Hegel h400 and Magnepan 1.7s delivered some great music!  
Hegel hum?
dave543210 Very interesting info. Thanks for sharing.  
Hegel hum?
As the OP I offer thanks to everyone for their suggestions. I’ve never spent this much on a stereo component and was hoping for some assurance that nothing was amiss. From now on I’ll resume my listening position and enjoy the music.  
Hegel hum?
I should have also mentioned in my first post that the hum is not coming from the speakers. In fact, when I turn the volume up and pause the music, I hear nothing out of the speakers. It's the h400 that has a slight, even tiny hum. When I look beh... 
What actually determines volume power? Is it watts?
Looks or power? I love the looks of the Yamaha AS3200. It’s beautiful and reminds me of a Yamaha integrated I owned way back in the 80s. I went looking to upscale the power for my Maggie’s recently but power wise the Yamaha wouldn’t do the job. I ... 
All-in-One units for retiring audiophile & music lovers in 2025, say what?
Have you considered a Hegel h400 or a Michi x3?   
What contributes most to a change in how an amplifier sounds?
I have to say this has been one of the most entertaining topics I’ve heard in a long time!
