General opinion about ADCOM amplifiers
I use the 555mkII in bridged mono(two of them).They each power one 15" sub apiece.They crush.Quiet,no fans and used about 400.00 each.My two cents. 
What sub woofer to for this system & room?????????
Energy exL12.Used about 350.00.You'll have fun with this.Never worry about over woofing ,you can always lower it. 
WHOA This isn't what I expected.
I remember seeing a PA-7 sitting on a used shelf at a store I worked at.It looked like a million bucks sitting there.Built like a tank.I opened it up and thought the layout was a little messy.With krell gear and counter point gear looking like the... 
Best moderate - small sub for Soliloquy 5.3s
Vandersteen 2W.Used about 550.00.You will not regret it. 
Which is better- one 5 channel amp or 3 stereo?
I am using three B&K ST-140's.They don't put out a ton of power but they sound fantastic.One thing that helps them is crossing everything over at 80 HZ.This way they just buzz along with no bass worries.I tried a bunch of multi ch. amps under ...

Where to start with room acoustics
It amazes me still that I can walk in a "High End" audio store and nothing is ever mentioned about acoustics.I'm thinking that store did about three hundred systems in the last six years and nothing ever said about it.Hum ? 
Best SUB that blends into Music not Home Theater
Hands down the vandersteen 2W.And if you go so bold as two, you will find out what they recorded down there.$500 used each.NO BRAINER! 
Best Subwoofer avaible?
Anyone can purchase a sub,but the spoils go to the DIY guy who assembles his reference and calls it his own.Adire Audio's Tumult,Adcom GFA 555mkII (bridged mono of course ),Behringer parametric, Marchand Audio Bassis.In a 2.5cu. ft. sealed box it ... 
Sub woofers for electrostatics
I have always felt that the vandersteen 2W was a great choice for any mini monitor or elecrostatic loud speaker.Multiples even better. 
Room acoustics: diffusor or absorber?
I made my own skyline diffusers.A 48"x48" for 23.00.They are not to spec but......neither am I. It does involve purchasing a cutting tool for about 30.00 . I'll send you pics and advice if you want.When it warms up I'll take them outside and spray... 
which woofer do you prefer
I purchased two of them and had on hand a pair of cabinets that are 2.5cu. ft. sealed.Larger cab's would yeild a better F3.I run Adcom GFA 555mkII's in bridged mono on each.Go to Acoustic-visions forum and look at the pic of them.The cabinets are ... 
which woofer do you prefer
ADIRE TUMULT.End of story! 
signal generators and...
At this point I'm using stand mount monitors.All spkrs are set to small and xover at 80hz.It is quite simple to trouble shoot a room were the bass is xover to a single bass channel(LFE).What I would like is to get a better picture of the peaks and... 
signal generators and...
Alfredo, Yes I have the same rolls as you.It is a great unit but, what I think is happening while I am sweeping the bass frequencies and adjusting room modes with my parametric is.... I'm not catching the whole mode and just taking a slice of the ...
