    Using high-pass filters for connection to sub?

    I'm in the market for a subwoofer and recently read up on ACI's website about the use of high-pass filters to filter out bass signals from reaching the mains. http://www.audioc.com/information/images/hookupd.jpg I can see how this could theoretically clean up the sound of a system by...

    Rotel RSX-1055, RSX-1065, or RSP-1066/Amp?

    Considering purchasing a Rotel front-end to power some Dynaudio Acoustics BM5s in a new 5.1 50%music/50% HT setup. I auditioned the speakers with a RSP-1066/RMB-1095 combo, and while the $3500 for the set (and not a small sum for the accompanying interconnects) might not be outlandishly high, I...
