Best setup for two subwoofers.
Don't know if this is off-topic but what opinions might the posters' have about a set up like the Paradigm SUB-1 or SUB-2 instead of multiple subs in separate enclosures; that is, multiple drivers facing different directions in the same cabinet? T... 
Which OPPO?
You might also consider a used BDP93 or even an 83. I've got an Oppo-modded 83 and a 93 (I have a Meridian front end so I don't need the upgraded DACs). I've read (but have not tested) that the 83 does better upscaling than the 93/95. That being s... 
Suggested Improvements for Set Up?
In the low-cost / high-impact category, even though it wasn't on topic - take a look at the room. I've done some minimal, visually non-intrusive treatment that tamed some high-end harshness and really opened up the music.Congrats on the amp and th... 
What is the best subwoofer you have ever heard?
To Matjet - I have had a Paradigm SUB1 for about 2.5 months. It's integrated with a full seven-panel Magnepan LCR set up (3.7s, DWMs, tri-center). I've set it up to run with both music and for the LFE. The SUB1 is fast enough to keep up with the M... 
Maggie 3.7s + TriCenter in HT - is the impact ther
You betcha. I won't let dogma get in the way of what I hear. My amp is in town and the Maggies should be here the week after next. I plan to set up the gear, put Lyle Lovett's "It Ain't Big It's Large" CD on the Oppo and loop it from 2/23 through ... 
Maggie 3.7s + TriCenter in HT - is the impact ther
Thank you for the very considered response. I'm hoping to get a bit more "slam" through the addition of the two DWM panels. I'm also going to use the NAD M-25 to drive each of the Maggie panels: 2 x 3.7, 2 x MMC2, 2 x DWM, and 1 x CCR. I figure wi... 
New amp for B&W 803s - Classe or Mac or ???
Zd - thanks for the follow up. I haven't been as sensitive to this issue until the last couple/three months and we've been in the house since April. The only change since we moved in is that I "wire loomed" all the dangling, messy cables. I routed... 
New amp for B&W 803s - Classe or Mac or ???
Room is 17 wide, 18 deep, 8 foot ceilings. Rear wall is actually not "flat" but imagine that each corner has a 3' wide by 4' deep chunk taken out and that recess has an 11 foot wide u-shaped sectional. Behind the sectional is a 96" wide window cov... 
New amp for B&W 803s - Classe or Mac or ???
Direct and to the point and you may be right. I've had other advice to move to a NAD Master series amp and dump the 803s for 803d (or re-evaluate my years-long liking of B&Ws). Thanks.gordon
