Dahlquist Subwoofer installation
Hi R...if the sound signal is running thru the sub and then from the sub into your speakers...then the sub is [partly] operating otherwise the signal would not carry thru the sub to your speakers.However, i think you may need to check that the sub... 
WILSON ALEXANDRIA XLF SPEAKERS-
Hi French Fries,thanks for that...good to know. I have heard Alexandrias and so have a good idea of how they sound, but have not done direct A/B in same room, exact same system. I did not hear as much of a difference but then again, i have a natur... 
which speakers for low watt power amp?
Sonus Fabers can be beautiful with voices. They are also well known for having synergy with many mid-powered tube amps. Depending on your desire for bass...or 'only' voices...as well as your budget...the Guarneris are amazing and SOTA in the mids....

Hi FrenchFries,When you say your experience other than X-1...did you mean you have compared Alexandria to X1 and found X1 lacking...or that you have not auditioned X-1? Thanks!I own a second-hand pair of X1s which i enjoy...but am aware there is a... 
Best single-malt Scotch...
Hi Baka1969,Over here, a bottle of Macallan 18-yr is 80 and 30-yr is 300. The 25-yr is 200...and i think the 18-yr is nearly as good. Whereas the 30-year is stunning. 
Best single-malt Scotch...
If anyone likes Macallan 18, alternatives that may be fun to try: - Macallan 30 (25 over-rated imho) - Glenrothes 1985 - Midleton (older stuff)If you like peat (ie, smoke) in your whisky: - Springbank 18-year - Ardberg Supernova (very smoky) - La... 
WILSON ALEXANDRIA XLF SPEAKERS-
Hi AA,That makes sense...Wilson specifically notes the integration with the midrange driver...thanks for that. very helpful. And yes, Wilson has always had supertweeters in the back for air/shimmer. Originally 2, now 1. 
Best single-malt Scotch...
Hi Rich,Macallan 18 is stunning and despite its expense, it competes well with much more expensive whiskysGlenmorangie always good for a solid, slightly sweet and smooth whiskyBalvenie 21...some love, some like. Very agreeable though i much prefer... 
WILSON ALEXANDRIA XLF SPEAKERS-
Agree with Elberoth...DW has always sought very, very strict technical capabilities. While silk dome tweeters of old had a sound many of us liked (incl me)...perhaps they did not meet the rigid dispersion, performance he was looking for. imagine t...

Hi Anuts,I agree...i have the amperex 6922 pq white label (and 7308)...incredible! 
Magico V3
Hi Defride,thanks...i have spoken to a few people about the Robert Koda, so that is something...I have not heard Soulution either unfortunately, but at least there are a few places i can probably hear it...so again helpful for 'calibration' purpos... 
Hooking a subwoofer to Naim Nait5i
Hi TT,Nice system. I do not know the Naim unit...typically, the Velodynes (which i have owned for over a dozen years) have 2 forms of input, sometimes 3. Generally, for Totems (nice speakers)...i would suggest you either run the Velodyne in parall... 
Hooking up 2 separate amps to 2 different outputs
Hi Drumhead,I am no techie...but if you DVD does not have 'variable output'...then you are getting to get a single level of volume through your amp...probably fairly loud...and that's all with no ability to turn it up or down. Same from your outbo... 
Power cord feeding a power conditioner/regenerator
Hi Emanuele,It should be fairly straightforward to have someone reterminate your existing powercable to fit a 20A IEC. If you like your existing Cardas Golden Ref (you should...i have heard they are top class)...then you may wish to ask your local...
