Because of placement in cabinet (wife's orders), I need a front-firing, sealed subwoofer for my theater. Room is 12X16. Cabinet restricts sub size to a max of 17" h,w,d. Any ideas?

You'll never know until you try. Best to get a dealer to let you borrow some to try in your system. Many reputable dealers will actually do this. I use Prism bi-wire for my ProAc Response 2 speakers. Sounds great, but I have never tried anything else with these speakers. (By the way, 11 gauge...

In your price range (but to my tastes, better sounding) front-ported speakers to audition would be the Triangle Comete xs. Or the Tannoy Saturn. Both have matching center-channel speakers available.

To address another part of Jereme D's question, You can mate a tube amp with a solid-state preamp if you want to. Likewise, you can mate a solid-state amp with a tube preamp (which I may do when my old preamp finally gives up the ghost). Some say that a SS amp with a tube preamp gives you...

I do not plan to get a tuner for the theater room. Teaming 1066 with 1095 amp, Sony 900V DVD-SACD and ProAc Response 1S fronts, ProAc Response CC1 center, REL Q201 sub and B&W 8" in-ceiling rear surrounds. The tuner in my music system (downstairs) is a Sony 550ES, which I like (but do not use...

Actually, I'm waiting for delivery of my 1066 (hopefully tomorrow) as well as most of the other components in my future home theater. Had been doing lots of research on the AVS forum prior to ordering my stuff, then discovered this forum. Looking forward to having the system set up, but no...

OK. So there are discussion threads about the 1066 here, and at the S&V board, the AVS board, and probably more. And some of you participate in some or all of them. Help me out. If I have a 1066 question, how do I decide at which forum to post it? Are the forums somewhat redundant?

"I want proof! Blah, blah, blah." Listen. Just listen. If you have a good quality system, try out a high quality power cord, and listen for a difference. If you don't hear one, don't buy the cord. Many dealers will lend you one for home trial. I believe that the folks at www.fatwyre.com...

I replaced the stock cord on my two-channel amp with a fancy-pants cord that I bought used, just to see if it would make any difference. Honestly, it did improve the bass response and the noise floor, but not by a huge margin. For me, the small improvement is worth the $100 I spent, so I did...

In my two-channel system (downstairs): My old British Fidelity preamp has two outputs, so I use a McCormack DNA 0.5 Deluxe (2x125) for main listening room, and my old British Fidelity P140 (2x70) driving speakers in 3 other rooms (and the patio!) via switchbox. The McCormack was a huge step...

I am waiting for delivery of a 1066. Is there any way to know whether it is a new "fixed" unit or an older stock unit (with hum potential) before I go through the labor of hooking it up?
