10" self powered sub-woofers.....
 If it was movies only I'd think it might be perrfect.@midareff1If you were looking for an SVS product for movies, one of their ported subs would probably be the better option.  The SB1000s are sealed as are (to the best of my knowledge) the 1000 ... 
10" self powered sub-woofers.....
Hello @midareff1How important is a 10" driver vs, say, 12" if overall size is under 14"? The 1000 Pro Series Sub from SVS is under 14" in height and width, though a bit over 14" in length. From their website:Dimensions | 13.5" (H) 13" (W) 14.76" (...

Good luck @pjw81563 FWIW - I agree with Frogman's suggestion to go longer term with your listening comparison.  You might hear a difference in audio quality right after making a change though I personally think unsettling things by moving wire (an... 
What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report
Thanks for that rundown on Phoenix, @artemus_5 .  I hear what you are saying about the progression of a band's sound and music even though I, personally, did not care for their change in style.

A haphazard bit of catching up and some belated greetings...@tuzarupa - welcome. Saw your post (posts?) mentioning Tommy Flanagan. I love his economical and elegant style. Truly a "less is more" player. Underrated compared to his more "flash" cont...

Persuant to recent mention of Blue Jeans Cables, this might be of interest:https://www.bluejeanscable.com/articles/iconoclastintro.htmThanks to Doug Schroeder for the tip. 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Thanks for the suggestion @spiritofradio I will see if I can find Sanfona on Tidal to get a "trial" listen.  I have a few other LPs by him on , but not that one.@petg60 - Magico is worth tracking down.   
Whats on your turntable tonight?
@petg60 If you haven’t yet, check out Magico by the same Gismonti et al ECM lineup. Equally as wonderful as Folk Songs.

@frogman Yes, yes, and YES!Sorry the YouTube link didn't work.  Was supposed to take one to the full Gershwin's World album which is relevant to subjects of recent discussion: Joni Mitchell and George Gershwin.   Great review of the album on the A...

@keegiam Thanks for your follow up comments re HH’s The River: The Joni Letters as well as that "making of" link. Tastes definitely differ. Me personally, never heard of Corrine Bailey and honestly wasn’t taken with her voice on that recording. No...
