| REL subwoofer crossover question It is my understanding that the neutrik connection works with most amplifiers and because the output signal matches exactly with the amplifier, not the preamplifier output signal, a more exact output match is created. What I have found, I think yo... | |
| REL subwoofer crossover question I agree with you Wolf, but some amplifiers, differential balanced amplifiers in particular, will not allow this connection to work properly. Not exactly sure why that is the case, but I am sure one of our more technical friends can spell it out. H... | |
| REL subwoofer crossover question I believe that the REL subwoofer has one input for low pass RCA input and another identical looking input for LFE input that is crossed over at 80 Hz. If I remember correctly I had to take my left and right channel subwoofer output and use a Y con... | |
| Best integrated for $500? I would think that a used Creek integrated amplifier would be a solid choice. A while back I had 4240 driving Spica TC-50 speakers and it was a very good combination. | |

| Speakers to pair with krell that rock I had a Krell FPB 300, older non cast, and a Krell KRC-3 Preamp, very underated in my opinion, amplification system that totally rocked with a pair of Dali 800 MKII speakers. I changed the amplification to Parasound JC-1 monoblocks and JC-2 Preamp... | |
| Well Rounded Speakers $2500-$3000? There are many really great $2500-$3000 speakers out there. It is, in my opinion, the price point where everything after becomes a diminishing returns purchase. Many good suggestions out there. My suggestion is to go with speakers that have surviv... | |
| Has anyone listened to the new Dave Matthews CD? I would say that it is his best album since Crash. The last few seem to have been worse than the other. This is a very good change of direction for DMB. You may also want to check out the new Ben Harper album. It is also better than his last few a... | |
