BlueSound Node 2 - connect to pre-amp direct or to Oppo UDP-205 and then to pre-amp
theo,A bit off topic, but was wondering how the Chord Qutest would compare against the Ayre CODEX. Both are similar in price. I too, stream with the Node2. 
new L100?
Makes me wonder what Abbey Road Studios in London was doing back in the 60's and 70's. Or were they WAY ahead of the curve....

new L100?
michaelgreenaudio,Michael, I didn't try all conceivable methods and positions of the older L-100's, but that speaker became way to colored for my tastes. The tweeter was sizzling hot, very forward midrange, and a woofer that sounded like a dull go... 
Who are some of elite sub woofers?

Do you listen to equipment or music.
s2000cr,My gosh man, you must have been around before the Dead Sea was even sick!...:-)

Also for music, it's Vandy, Vandy, Vandy...... 
new L100?
I had the JBL-100 back in the 70's. I haven't heard the new 100, but I doulbt it sounds anything like the vintage version. Maybe....a good thing??? 
Altec A7 yay or nay?
Bass shy? Um.... No. They have plenty of bass output. It's just that they don't go real deep into the bass region. 40-45hz is just about it.  I had a pair of the home versions of  the A-7. Large squatty cabs with walnut finish (846-B). I loved tho...

Tomic601 is correct. Many people crank sub volume to high. If the sub is dialed in correctly, you shouldn't even know it's in the room.

Many years ago I had a audiophile friend who was a complete equipment junkie. He couldn't get more than 30 seconds into one track without stopping to take that CD out, and insert another, and repeat the 30 second process all over again...Talk abou...

Another vote for the Vandersteen sub 3. With eleven bands of EQ, you can conquer just about ANY room problem. Use 2 sub3's with EQ, and problem solved!

viridian,I believe I was using the term "accurate" in a subjective manner. Specifically, the tweeter. It is a special carbon dome type which has a natural, extended, airy presentation. It is neither bright nor rolled off (dull) sounding. It's the ...

Viridian, I called it a problem for lack of a better term. You said "not sure that road would be for me, YMMV." Was just asking why, and said respectfully as in not being aggressive. Please don't generalize Vandy's as having a reticent treble. May...
