PW - what is the ceiling height of your tunnel?

Good to see you again. Hope you are well and enjoying the Winter season.  Happy Listening!

@tomthiel high ceilings at 9'5".

On integrating a subwoofer: my aesthetix preamp has two sets of main outs. Presently I have one set going to my Pass power amp and to my main speakers. Would it be possible to use the other set to feed a subwoofer that has an internal crossover filtering out everything over around 60hz? Then using REW to effect a DSP crossover with the same slope and point so that I integrate the two. OR do I really need an electronic crossover fed by the Aesthestix, then out from the crossover to the sub and to the mains?  IF I need an electronic crossover, does anyone have any experience with this Bryston unit:  http://www.bryston.com/products/other/10B-SUB.html

Proud new owner of a pair of Thiel speakers.  My 2.4's are driven by Classe CA-200 in a living room with sloped high ceilings (about 10 to 20 feet at its apex).  Room is roughly 15 feet in width by 30 feet in length.  Speakers are space about 9 feet apart.  With respect to the room walls, the speakers are placed about 2.5 feet from the backwall and 3 feet from the side walls.  Listening position is about 12-13 feet from each speaker.

Sound is good so far but imaging is a little off.  If I add a cheap tube buffer like FX Audio Tube 1, the imaging and soundstage seems to improve quite a bit.  I'm hoping to experiment with better tube preamps in the near future.

Thanks to jafant for providing many insights.
