I feel bad for GenX'ers that missed out on the 60s and 70s.
When the Beatles first came to the states, my parents started off saying things like “you want to buy a record by bugs?” to words I can’t say here! Although my mom ended up liking Carol King and Abba.  My sister actually took her to see Mamma Mia ... 
Does anyone make a preamp with a subwoofer output?
imhifian, I started to go the dsp route and thought that maybe there was an all in one solution where maybe I could end up with a better preamp as well as the same controls I get on my HT system.JD 
Does anyone make a preamp with a subwoofer output?
yy,That’s basically what I have set up now, running the speakers full range and the sub comes in at 70 hertz.  The panels on my speakers don’t like certain sounds, like the heart beat on dark side of the moon or really deep organ notes, so I want ... 
Does anyone make a preamp with a subwoofer output?
knotscott,You are correct, I can adjust the slope and output on the subwoofer. I’m looking to be able to adjust the slope on my speakers. My speakers are Acoustat Model X’s and their design (three wire) I can’t run high level inputs. That’s why I’...

Ohm Walsh speakers in the 21st century
uncleang, I was thinking the 3000 or the 4000 and running them with a Dynaco Stereo 400.  I’m thinking about recapping it, but we’ll see how it sounds first.JD

Thanks mapman. I’m going to call them next week and ask what amps they recommend and see if they’re sold in Midwest.  I’d really like to hear the difference between the five models.JD

Ohm Walsh speakers in the 21st century
mapman, I did spend about an hour digging around here trying to find out about their newer line, the “Tall” 1000-5000 series and found very little. The new ones have a tweeter and are dampened in the back.  That was the info I wanted to hear about...
