Yes, I see what you are saying.

I was looking for some assurance that these components would work in the desired configuration before I started trying to hook it up as it involved moving furniture and riling up some heavy layers of dust.

Once I got all of the components separated and ready for re-setting, it was pretty easy to see how to put them together- albeit without the external crossover.

I had been using an Onkyo TX-SR 805 with the two speakers and the SuperCube2 as my computer speakers- but when my SVS PB12 Plus/2 arrived this weekend, I broke off the Onkyo to start putting together the HT.

The HT will replace my old stereo set-up so I was hoping I could use those components as my computer speaker set-up.

So now I've got the Nikko amp, Rotel Pre, SC2, and 2- Axiom Algonquin bookshelves hooked up to my MacBook and an old Magnavox CD player (FD3040).

The Nikko is pushing the Algonquins pretty nicely and the SC2 is thumpin' the bass- but it does seem to be missing some cohesion compared to when I had the TX-SR 805 in the equation.

While I figure with this equipment I'm never going to be able to create a complete sound stage, I will look into an external amp to try and pull it together a little better.

I'm going to do some research on external sub crossovers but do you (or anyone) have any to recommend in the low to medium price range?

I truly appreciate your advice and am grateful for this venue that HTForum provides!
