Some amplifier questions

Wemfan,

What is your budget for the sub? Are you thinking of one or two subs?

And by the way, wemfan, I don't think you need a sub for this room given the way you are going to use it. I am just helping you spend your money if that is what you want to do... :)

I don't really have a budget but want to pick one that would would fit my system in performance. I am under the impression that a sub would really help my system. You don't agree? It would have to be one sub. I just don't have room for two.

Wemfan,

I agree with Finsup: you may find you don't need a sub once you have it up n running and listen for a few days. You may want one since the LS50s only reproduce bass down to 47hz. I'd wait to make sure, though, since it may save you a punch in the face from your neighbor.

The possible need for a sub was the only downside I could think of when using the LS50s. If you do decide you need one, just make sure you get one with a built-in amplifier, which most come with, anyway. Once you decide on a center speaker, the A31's 3-channels will all be spoken for.

I know you received my post info on the stands after you had already bought the Sound Anchors. My recent replies have been slow to post for some reason.

In any case, you made a good choice with the Sound Anchor stands; I think they'll perform well. It's just that the Argosy stands may be just as good for a much better price.

I'm looking forward to the results since they should be very good.

I read you may be constructing some more systems in the future. If this one meets your expectations, I will be available if you'd like, at my usual fee.

Enjoy,
Tim

All the better if I don't need a sub. i really don't want to clutter up the room any more than i have to, not to mention the expense. I think I have decided on the R-600 as the center. It will take a month to get my stands so I will order it a little while later but everything else is on the way.

Your post didn't appear until after I had already ordered the stands and I really don't like canceling out on somebody. A deal is a deal and the guy was nice and spent a half hour trying to make sure I was getting what I needed. If it was a big chain store I would have considered canceling but not on a small business guy. I have had my posts appear slow too. I wish I had seen yours earlier.

How about cables? What should I do there?

I do have several more pieces to acquire and I do want your help. Your usual fee fits perfectly into my budget. :-)

Thanks, Bill
