Subwoofer ?

^ Well, mister, that was just the extra info I was looking for (btw it's the Domus and Foo with lossless FLACs).

It happens I found the SVS dealer is just half an hour ride from where I live and they have a showroom, so...I will soon be on a Special Audio Mission ! (let's see if they allow me to bring home an unit on lease, the SF are too big to carry to the SR)

Thanks all

^ I'll keep that in mind, for sure ! (thks again)

Interesting stuff here.

I have had an ESS Heil AMT-1 for 40 years. Both speakers have been re-coned twice here in Portland by Ja-Mac.

If you know these (look them up) they have a large 12 incher, and then an "air-motion" transformer on top of the cabinet. All the music flows from those two pieces.

So in my 1st visit to Ja-Mac I asked about a "mid-range" since the speaker shows the lows and the highs really well, and the transformer does not require a "mid-range" per se ... the old man (Ja-Mac himself -- I think his sons run it now) says ... "what for?"

These speakers were what sold me on getting them, when I brought Tangerine Dream's Phaedra album to the store to decide which speakers I wanted and that LP shined awesome in some speakers and really trashy in the cheaper stuff, and it was then that I knew the difference between the high level stuff and the low level crap. A year later I had to get a better receiver ... np ... got a massive one that lasted 30 years ... and helped make the stereo system damn good ... and if I had to? I could blow the folks next door out of town very quickly! 

I was going to go this way with my set up...but Mrs JD had some other ideas.

Our WHOLE HOUSE is a She-Shed !

We did a huge reno/add-on about 10 years ago. While I was designing it I had indicated a 'Media Room' on the plan. Well, it became a family room with a fireplace and TV (read: my honey's reading room) and all my media ended up in my office along with additional furniture for our boy when he moves out.

(sigh)

It's not THAT bad !

I mean, she doesn't smoke anymore.

Thanks !

Good question ... only starting to understand the BT app settings, it's a first time remember.

Do you use the app too ? (and any suggestion, btw)

Only the Pro models have the app, I don't, so I have to go behind and make adjustments, which is fine cause once set no need to fool with it.

Sub setup can be involving, it's a detailed process I go thru which I can detail later if you want. 

But start here:

Your mains can play down to 35Hz, so suggest you cross over around 50Hz to start. Set the sub volume at 50%. The phase leave at 0 for now, that one to set optimally is the process. Now listen to music for the next day or so to get a baseline. I'll detail my process in another post.
