Hi WG, I'm curious if you're finding Dirac offers something worth the price over Fabfilter? Cheers B

The 909 is a fine speaker, personally I would take it over any B&W and most monopole speakers. It is obviously quite different in its presentation due to its open baffle nature. Personal preferences and rooms will be a big factor here. Its certainly worth auditioning if you have the...

thanks for that. i'm a bit surprised by your findings. did you have to crank it up a bit before the differences between the dynamo and grotto became apparent? cheers b

thanks mike. the volodyne is the one i'm more interested in. the spl-800 is US$1330 in oz though, quite a markup happening somewhere. b

I'm looking to buy from the states as its much cheeper than Oz and am wondering which brands I can concider. If anyone has a sub with a 110/220 switch or the like, please let me know. cheers b

dkordonowy, let us know how it goes. i'm also looking at the ML dynamo/grotto or velodyne spl-800 or rel stampede. i'm wondering if 2x dynamo would be better than 1x grotto.(music is my interest). please report back cheers b.

the bfd is more flexible and i would therefore say inherently better than the sms-1, provided you are willing to download the requisite software yourself and learn to use the bfd properly. cheers b

thanks guys. the two dynamos will be 1200, the grotto 1000-1200 depending where you read. that ML site has been down for a while so is not much help. i was also favouring the dual subs. servo is no doubt good but at less than 80db i doubt it comes very much into play. what you recon...

hi, hoping you guys can help me out with this choice, between a martin logan grotto, or, for the same price two dynamos. they will be for music only. and i dont listen at more than 80db. i'm wondering if the servo controll is of much benefit when the sub is playing easily within its limit...

http://www.osbornloudspeakers.com.au/ anyone know the brand, or specifically the interlude and titan models. they arent to well known but have a good if limited rep and look good on paper. thanks b.

they do come in silver too ya know. i've had the 602s3 with the c352 and it was very impresssive for the price. i think you'll do very well with the 753. b.

i second the denon 2200. i've owned the 2200 and 2900. currently i use a rega aplollo for cd and the 2200 for 2-channel sacd and movies. i actually prefered the 2200 to the 2900 for redbook. its a bit livelier. the 2200 is actually very close to the rega on cd playback, lacking only the...

i had a look at the hsu vtf-2 manual and it seems that its high level outs are not filtered. they offer some add-on modules that might provide this but i think in australia it will be impossible to get custom spec'd units. i'm now thinking of something like this universal player-->sub...

thanks timechaser. if you get a chance to talk to your friend, could you ask him if the strata 5 and stampede back pannels differ from the storm 5? cheers b.

cool. thanks mate. b

o.k, i checked the manual. problem is, this method involves the speakers getting a full range signal. my whole quest is to use some form of bass management. by this i mean routing anything bellow 80 away from my mains inorder to cut my tubes some slack. the search continues.... cheers b

thats the one phillyguy! but i'm hoping to do something like that with the few subs that are on my shortlist(rel strata 5/stampede, martin logan grotto, velodyne spl-r, b&w pv-1) timechaser, i had a look at about 4 manuals from the rel website. but i'm not sure which one is applicable...

Thanks ggunell. I had a look at a manual a while back, and thats the impression I got. Though it wasnt expressly stated. Hope its true. b.

thanks for the replies everyone. just to clarify, i dont have a receiver, just a 2-channel integrated tube amplifier, which has no pre-outs. speakers go down to 40hz. i'm wanting the option of using bass management. usually i would rather run the speakers full range, but if i were to have...

good to know they do exist. 'fraid i'm on the otherside of the atlantic so unfortunately no chance to take the sub off your hands. thanks anyway. cheers b
