Power amp recommendation
schmitty1,      Many Magnepan owners consistently state that they need a lot of wattage to sound their best and I agree.       I don't have the newer 1.7i  but the older 2.7Qr.  About 4 yrs ago, I switched from using a 400watts/ch at 4 ohms class ...

jon_5912:"The reason I ask about adding smaller subs to a big one is that I, like a lot of people I'm sure, already have one big expensive sub. I would never buy three more like it. I measured the response with the Behringer ultracurve and measu... 
My experience adding subwoofers to 2 channel
Hello m-db,     Thanks for your information.  I'll look at the manual on Funk Audio's website to learn more.      He has four very high quality and expensive subs.  The 4-sub DBA concept works exceptionally well even without room control. Do you u...

Hello khiak,      Well, you have four very high quality subs which you should be able to position and configure into a very high quality 4-sub distributed bass array system for music and ht.       I'm willing to assist you in this process but I wa... 
A DIY Swarm-based Distributed Bass Array for SOTA Bass
millercarbon,     If he's going for maximum bass then he may want to use one or two of the HSUs.  I think four of the Swarm or Morrell subs with the Dayton amp would supply plenty of bass and headroom in his room, it does in my 23 x 16 ft room for... 
A DIY Swarm-based Distributed Bass Array for SOTA Bass
Hello haywood310,     Your 14 x16 ft room is on the small size and it's easy to swamp it with too much bass, especially with two HSU ULS15s.      I think the best solution for you is to sell the HSUs and get 4 morrell subs with the Dayton amp for ...

Hello khiak,     Those Funk Audio 21.0LX are beautiful subs but they're really meant for a larger room.  If you live in an apartment, your neighbors are going to hate you if you start using those in your room.  If you really want to use those in y...

Hello khiak,     What are the dimensions of your room (length x width x ceiling height)?  What are the brands and model numbers of your subs?       You can definitely achieve very good bass response at a single dedicated listening seat with 2 subs...

"I have recently added 2 more 21 inches subs to the existing 2 12 inches subs to my main speakers. I find that the system sound more engaging with just the 21 inches subs. Maybe the subs are out of phase with each other. I do not know how to integ...

Oppo 103 comparison with an Ayre Codex
whitestix: "I dunno, maybe there are other CDP's as worthy as the 105/205 at similar prices, but I repeat again Oppo provides a glimpse of hifi sound at an incredibly modest price.  Considering price vs. performance, my 103 has been my best acquis...

jon_5912:"Has anyone ever tried having a single big sub and a few more smaller ones? I'd think a single sub that goes to 20hz would be enough and then 3 smaller ones that only maybe go down to 30hz could be used to even out the response. Locate ...
