Has anyone added a small subwoofer to 2 channel and been thrilled with the result?
If using an active crossover that also has capability to connect a sub(s) and vary crossover points for the main speakers and the sub(s), my understanding is to set the crossover on the sub to it's highest value and then use the crossover to set t...

Has anyone added a small subwoofer to 2 channel and been thrilled with the result?
The integration of a sub(s) is one of the most popular topics discussed in these forums. Beside the choice of a particular sub the most important is placement in the listening environment. Each room is different.You didn't state your main objectiv... 
My first PSB Speaker Purchase. Need some help.
I am using a pair of PSB Imagine B with 2 subs. The sound is really good. Since the Imagine B's with subs is kinda a substitute for floor standers, I realize the trade off. After buying the Imagine's I have read in multiple forums that the Synchro... 
New $24,000 inter-connect
You never know what super deals will come along. 24K.....must be a gem. I was in a McDonalds for breakfast the other day. A diner next to me had the same sandwich.....a bacon/egg/cheese biscuit. His looked and smelled so much better than the one I... 
Hi Fi Tuning fuses
Here comes the fuse police..........Those who have convinced themselves that the change to "audiophile" fuses and experienced audio improvements have probably exhausted all other methods to improve a system's performance. While not ready to admit ... 
Just getting started on a budget and need bookshelf speakers/receiver now
I can only speak in reference to NAD gear mentioned by other posters. If you pursue that route look at sites that have the NAD 3020 integrated amp for sale. That amp has been out of production for quite some time but in the used market you may be ... 
Drink of choice for serious listening?
Ahh...this is a question that is truly aimed at the masses. I live in a rustic environment. When I'm really in the mood to do some serious music listening things have to be perfect. First, the drink. A large tumbler of Golden Grain with just a das... 
Thinking about a new, lower end CD Player
I went from a Sony CDP (5 disc carousel) to a NAD C546BEE a couple of years ago and have been very satisfied. It goes for $500. While not a requirement at the time, I find the USB input to be very useful. NAD has been changing their model lineups ... 
Vinyl System Upgrade Path Recommendations
I also have a Pioneer PL-530 table. Bought it in the 70's new and haven't had the choice or finances to upgrade to something "much" better. Besides whatever treatments and cleaning you do to your records there are a couple of things you should con... 
What albums, in your opinion, sound unquestionably better on Vinyl rather than Digital?
bassdude....you are completely correct. So many factors come into play when comparing the quality of sound between digital and analog. When the digital explosion came about a few decades ago many were excited about the convenience and relatively l... 
Ethics are sliding by members!
Audioemporium. After 15 years you must have learned something?? Selling over the Internet is always risky. That's why I never do it especially when it comes to speakers. Sometimes, the buyer is satisfied and all goes well. But, if the buyer is not... 
BEST FEMALE VOCAL EVER
All of the ladies mentioned here are great. It would be hard, if not impossible, to rate just one as the best. A lot depends on personal music tastes and styles.Each have performed fantastic songs while other of their songs were not so memorable. ... 
WHY DO SOME AUDIOPHILES THINK YOU ARE BRAGGING WHEN YOU ARE SHARING?
n80 and stereo5.... I commend your comments. I believe there are 3 or more classifications in the audio realm.1) Those who are totally satisfied with their systems and just want to enjoy the music they love.2) Those who think their systems sound d... 
JBL - almost nothing for sale, why?
In the 70's JBL made some great speakers that blew away a lot of competition. Today, to a smaller degree. We all remember the first speakers we had that made us "fall in love" with the sound. Back in the day, JBL was a powerhouse in home audio spe...
