Musical subwoofer under $2000

Upgrading preamp. Best for under $1K
Again thanks for all the recommendations. @soix i had the RC-980BX preamp and to my current RC-995, there was a huge difference in sound quality, especially in the bass region. It has a much better, tighter bass with better definition. The mid an...
