Best multi-purpose subwoofer
The new SVS SB3000 has some great refinements and flexibility. Buy a set, critical imo for 2 channel. They are very compact, fast and outperform their price point.

Verastarr-Grand Illusion
I also am running the GI's in my rig. It shares similar amplification with yours, not balanced but it's a Rogue Magnum 2 with KT120s.> Maggie 1.7s. Mine have the mods so they are fuse delete. The room is warmer and more open. They are also very...
