Thank you for the info.  Trying to comprehend (The technical stuff is mostly way over my head, but I am a willing student), please be patient. As I understand it, my options are: 1) DSP. (Used between Dac and Pre) My gut tells me it can't be wise to use a fairly good dac's analogue signal...

Thank you for the info.  I will look out for a miniDSP but also will explore the active's. 

Scarfussi, As I said in the beginning, I was a sub virgin up to very recently.  The Elac's ability to tweak all the phasing, volume and crossover settings via bluetooth, while you stay in your listening position is very helpful. I have seen guys loosing kilograms with the running and adjusting...

Juventino, a sub-out would not achieve the filtering of the lower frequencies to the Maggies which is what I am trying to experiment with.

Fredep, the minidsp requires line level inputs, and the predator is an integrated amp.

Scrarfussi, thank you for the link.  The sub that I am currently using (Elac 2070) does not have speaker Line out, which would have been a clean solution.  :help:

I previously only had full range speakers, and never had the need to incorporate a sub in my system.  All previous setups exclusively did stereo duty, so I never caught up with the wonders of subs in AV setups. So I recently began listening to the Magnepan SMGa's, hooked up to a new Predator. ...

I have always found that their are good value to be found in Chinese items, but try and stay away from items that are not reviewed extensively.  Consonance/Opera is a brand that have good solid builds, and the Ming-Da range that Francois stock also have good reviews.  Read an article a while...

Don't think the insured value of my house contents will be an issue.  I made insurance adjustments whenever I acquired high value items and believe my insured value is fairly accurate.  Will obviously depend on what the replacement values pan out to be.

Need some help with finding currently available equivalents for insurance purposes. The Specs of the Consonance Calaf Integrated Amp: Power output 200W + 200W at 8 Ohms Dual Mono Minimum load 2 ohms CH Sources 5 remote controllable inputs switched by gold plated relays CH Terminals Gold plated...

In my case, house in the market and had a couple of viewings from potential buyers through Agents in the last month.  I made damn sure that these units were not on any photos on websites.  My best guess is that one of the potential buyers saw the setup and the rest is history.  We live in...

Vince, I can't begin to explain the sense of loss with these units. Strange how we get attached on a personal level.  Keep on thinking about how the ML's was carried and handled, and the workout that the Consonance weighing 50kg gave the culprits. Anyway, hope that I'll be able to get the...

Vaal area.

Had the misfortune today of the theft of some of my music gear. Some items probably only have a couple of units sold in our country, so would appreciate if I can borrow your eyes and ears for when these might surface somewhere. 1) Martin Logan Summits, (bought from Dhiveshan) 2) Silver...
