    I recently upgraded my AV Receiver to a Denon AVR 2312ci I found at a thrift store for $30! It works very well! The only problem is my old receiver used a passive subwoofer and my new (to me) Denon uses an active port. I was reading that I needed an amplifier to use my passive subwoofer. I found...

    My 20 year old Paradigm PS-1000 amplifier is shot. Speaker is good and was just rebuilt. Can I use one of my old amps to power it? If so, how would I get the LFE information from the source device into the separate amp? And if the separate amp does not have an LFE output, how would I get the...

I saw that SVS released a newer series...

    So...I'll be going to Hsu Research on Friday...

    First of all, let me take a moment to acknowledge how much I'm enjoying the heck out of my PSA 15S.

    So...apparently 20 years is about enough time to elapse to really get me to want to upgrade a subwoofer. I'm currently running an Energy e:XL-S12 that I bought in the late 90s (or maybe early 00s I don't remember). It rumbles fine, but I never really felt it competed with other subs I'd heard in...
