Has anyone added a small subwoofer to 2 channel and been thrilled with the result?
Monolith 10in is a nice small sub.   
Anyone experience the Magnepan Tri Center
@don_1 what are you using to drive you MGCC3?  I found the CC3 is fnicky to get tuned with Audessy so I can get clear dialogue.  I almost went the route of a dedicated amp for my CC2 since I wasn't sure my Marantz had enough juice. I did the Audes... 
AV Receiver with Integrated Amp - Sub Connections?
If have room, I would just get another sub if you care about the LFE & ULF of your HT.  I tried doing what you were doing but somewhere along the chain, I couldn't make the sub work for both configs based on the bass I wanted.  If you don't co... 
Preview: CODA Technologies new generation number#8 Stereo Amplifier
@aolmrd1241 If I remember correctly, he uses that language to describe the smoothness of the music.  If you compare the 2 fabrics, they are both smooth to the touch, but still different.  Which smoothness you prefer is your preference.TJ's review ... 
HT cross over question
Set all the speaker sizes to LARGE and set subwoofer to NO that way the AVR routes the full signal to the speakers and none to the sub. 
Receiver recommendation
I would go Marantz, Denon, or Pioneer. I believe the mid-high models are Atmos upgradable, but I wouldn't worry about Atmos. Just make sure it has 4k passthrough in case you get a new 4k tv. 
MOG to shut down, replaced by Beats Music
I may try Spotify also. I like Rhapsody's interface and options, but sound quality doesn't seem on par with MOG. It's streaming at 192kbps, but can sound tinny at times. 
Buzz between Marantz SR5008 and Mcintosh C2300
See if this will work for you. I skimmed so you may have tried something like this. I did the same as you where I disconnected the coax and still had the buzz. The buzz is coming from the cable box.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?bhome&... 
MOG to shut down, replaced by Beats Music
Now that MOG is officially shutdown, what is everyone using? I'm on the Rhapsody trial, but can tell audio quality is not as good as MOG.

Is Slacker a good alternative to MOG? 
SB Touch...buh bye. Hello Android Media Box...
This is interesting and see if I can get one to compare to my SB Touch. Mapman, since you already have a Squeezebox Mediaserver setup, you could use the SqueezePlayer app to turn the MINIX into a Squeezebox. Then you should be able to still use an... 
SB Touch to Metrum Octave: toslink, coax RCA, BNC?
You should be fine using the coax of the Touch. I use it without problems. Just use a good cable.

Is your Krell hooked up to your tv/cable?

Do you have your Krell hooked up to your tv and/or cable box? 
Amp is plugged to the wall, why use a conditioner?
Gdush,I have a Richard Gray 400 and I recommend it. I noticed no difference with my amp plugged into the wall directly or into the RG400. I actually have all my 2 way components connected to the RG400, and all my HT components plugged into a Monst...
