Interconnect with good bass
i have decent response from my tara rsc prime 1000. that being said, i'm interested in any info on bass response from analysis-plus' 9-gauge copper cable. a bit more than $100/m, i think, but not out-of-this-world, like some cables... thanks, doug 
Best small 2-way floorstander?
i have noticed on a couple other threads that Tm12 seems to have more negative comments about folks that happen to like gear he either can't afford/hasn't heard/doesn't like. all i know about tm12 is he likes (& owns) coincident & rogue. w...

car stereo?!? OXYMORON!!! 
bass reproduction
i think monitors are a good choice, but your room is large enough to support a pair of good subs. you *don't have to spend mega-bucks for a pair of good subs, btw. i know ya dint ask for *names*, but check out vmps' subs - a *steal* for their perf... 
Price/performance curve
i find it interesting that the *room* has come up in this thread so much, & i think that's a good thing, cuz, imho, the room is the single-most-important component of an excellent system. my listening room is ~25'x38', w/8.5' ceiling, & it... 
Best speakers for near-field listening?
check out the eminent technology lft-11 - this is specifically designed for *really* nearfield applications - i.e. computer speakers. this is an audiophile planar loudspeaker w/two-6.5" dynamic drivers in a separate enclosure. get more info at: ht... 
Subwoofer blues
vmps has *by far* the best performance value per dollar. and, as far as music-listening is concerned, two subs are essential, to preserve proper soundstaging/imaging. bonus is ya get the same spl w/half the distortion. 
The Fourfold path...which way to go?
electrocompaniet components - both amps *and* preamps - don't have your typical solid-state glare or haze, imo... 
Amplifier for ProAc response 2.5
my brother-in-law's proac 2.5's sound great w/an alchemist kraken pre-amp/amp combo. he recently purchased another kraken amp so he can run either bridged or bi-amped - i can't wait to hear it! 
Best Sub to mate with magnepan 3.5
get a pair of vmps' original subs w/a decent used solid-state amp & a marchand xm-9 deluxe x-over (24db/octave), if ya have to x-over as high as 250hz. if you can go down to 125hz or so, get a pair of vmps' larger subs... also, marchand makes ... 
Whats a good tube preamp?
re: rogue 99: i may have early-called it - after ~100 hours of burn-in, the bass response *has* markedly improved. still not as tight as the linn kairn, but good enough that i have decided against selling it, considering its exemplary mid-range ea... 
Buyer's remorse - your worst purchase?
auditioning a product is, of course, the best way to shop, but as said before, it's not always possible. so, the best thing to do is as much research as possible - forums like this *are* very useful. also, if you're gonna buy something that you ha...
