Description

Stunning dynamics and fantastic resolution. This system took several iterations to arrive here. It's a 23' x 23' half basement space and it was a struggle to get the bass right in this room. Multi subs proved to be the best solution.

As close as I can get to live music in my house. I simply love playing tunes on this setup while partying, entertaining guests, playing pool etc. I must say that it is equally good for critical listening. Hoping to upgrade cartridge and phono pre sometime this year.

Really nice system, and it caught my attention because of your integration of your subs with analog. I have just added DIY subs, and my subs are also inside of my speakers. I only have two subs, but I have a problem with low level oscillation under certain conditions. Everyone is pointing to mechanical or airborne feedback through my turntable. So, I can reproduce the oscillation by just sitting my stylus on the record surface with the turntable off. My main mono blocks are also off, so my turntable is providing the source only to the sub plate amps through my preamplifier. As, I turn up the volume of my sub amps, the subs will start oscillating at about half volume. Have you ever experienced an oscillation problem with your setup?
Thanks,
Kenny
