Magico A3
Yyzsantabara,Yes that was me and I remember our conversations. I contacted audiogon about fishing emails I was receiving from their site and they just closed my account with no discussion. That was their version of customer service....I lost inter...

Ozzy,the sopras do look nice. I have not heard them but liked the 1037be back when I demoed them.

Prof,Mostly it is Upgraditus. I am always looking for more detail. I have had the thiels for awhile (5 years maybe) and I am just board with them now. I have not demoed the newest models from the major brands. Last time I looked around at Sophia 3...

Prof,what thiel do you have? I have a pair of 2.4CS that I pair with two JLE112s and I am looking into the A3. Thanks.  
Using JL Audio Esub with Merlin VSM
I have 2 E112s in my system. They are between my preamp and amp using the internal high pass cross over. You will want to use the JL’s internal crossover as it does a very good job. You will have to set each volume on the sub during setup though. ... 
Dual-Use Subwoofer?
Yes this can be easily done. I have teo JL E112s and I have a two channel system passed thought for home theater. To make it even more complicated I low pass the mains and send the low effect signal to the subs at the same time for movies. The sub... 
Wilson Sasha 1
I forgot the add the Sasha 1 is one of my favorite all time speakers and I think spending more is silly unless you have a very large room to fill. Maybe bor the best or the most accurate but I enjoyed them the most.

I 2nd adding your subs. The crossover that JL makes will work well. I would even try them at 60hz. Your speakers are starting to dive there. I added 2 JL E112 subs a few years ago and it stopped my upgrading. I will probably never have a system wi... 
Moving up from B&W CM9
I went from a pair of B&W 703s (older nicer version of the Cm9) to a pair of Thiel 2.4CS and the improvement was staggering. what I learned is that the 703s is just a bad speaker, not really good at anything and the Thiels are over achievers a... 
A speaker that looks like a driver or a driver that looks like a speaker?
What is the point of the design acoustically? Or is it just to look different?  
Wilson Sasha 2 or Alexia for small room 10' x 17'?
Audiotroy, or is it Audiotroll I remember.... 
Wilson Sasha 2 or Alexia for small room 10' x 17'?
Good to hear. You will like the Sasha. I would like to hear about how the Sopra compared. I always liked the Focal 1038be but never pulled the trigger and the Sopra like a nice evolution.  
Wilson Sasha 2 or Alexia for small room 10' x 17'?
I learned a long time ago that "better" engieenring does not always translate to better sound.  When one aspect is over engineered (stiffness, lightness) other important aspects (damping) sometimes get over looked IMO. I have not heard the new Par... 
Wilson Sasha 2 or Alexia for small room 10' x 17'?
I have heard both back to back and also heard the sabrina the same day (I also thought the Sabrina was average) I would not spend the extra on the Alexia. I have heard the Sasha full much larger rooms than yours. Save your money.  
JL e110 sub
Yes you just need to turn the cross over on. There is no low pass filter only a crossover. If you don't want to use it as a crossover just use the line in with no line out and it will work the same as a filter but have an adjustable slope. I have ...
