Looking for a cheap sub...
You could get one as a kit in that price range but it would be a a passive model in that price range so you would have to drive it speaker level. The kits are very easy to put together,pretty much just have to install the drivers into the cabinet.... 
Bent Audio TVC with Krell Ksa-250
Could it be the tube sound as the Grid is an tubed that you liked so much? As the bent transformer volume control is passive with no sound of it's own and not powered at all. Could your system or speakers be a little brite which the bent unit may ...

Review: Krell FPB-200 Amplifier
Nrchy,can you tell me more about Blackmore's night? Is that Ritchie Blackmore or an album? Glad to hear about the Krell amp,your system looks very nice. I'd like to have that TT in my system. 
Need advice for pre/pro and front end
A top of the line prepro will give you about 80-90% of what you will get out of a good two channel pre. They are a prepro first and everything else must come second. That 80-90% may be good enough for you, it was for me for a long time. If you wan... 
Need advice for pre/pro and front end
Looks like you are all set for great two channel sound except for your cdp and your preamp,so I would go there. For a good pre I would go with a passive transformer volume control like I did or a good tube active with a pass through for home theat... 
How important is tuning?
Yes it is, along with proper room placement and room tuning. 
Home Theater processor opinions
Reasonably priced that will not degrade HDTV signal does not exist. The Sunfire theatergrand II has balanced outs and can do all the rest. I have one I use with my Krell amps. The down side is that you will have to get DB-25 cable with six RCA's o... 
Bent Audio TVC with Krell Ksa-250
Thanks Twl, There have been lots of posts by people wondering about passives so I thought I would post on a transformer based unit. While it is easy to keep your interconnects short from your cdp to pre it is not always easy to keep them short to ...

Cheap Bryston active or Creek OBH12 passive?
I bought a bentaudio passive preamp to try in my system. I have only had a chance to listen for a couple of hours so far but I can tell you this, it is much more of an improvement to my system than I had dreamed it would be. I am useing two meter ... 
Bi-wiring/Bi-amping...worth the fuss and expense?
On some speakers its easy to hear the improvement and on others not at all. I have not thought that much of bi-wiring most of the speakers I have owned so far. I have bi-amped before and thought it was a big improvement when done right (not easy o... 
Is Aragon 3005 a good amp for marting logan?
Run a splitter (Y-connector) from your preamp front left and right outputs to four of the amps. Hook your speakers to those four amps, you should have two sets of speaker inputs on each speaker. Do a search on google for bi-amp, there should be lo... 
preamp vs. no-preamp
Sutts, My Bent TVC was shipped out yesterday. John said it should work very well in my system. I am going to try with a Sony xa777es and a krell ksa-250. I have Vmps super tower/R's and also a set of apogee centaur minor's to try it out with. Hope...
