    $100k speakers Meridian DSP8000 to $

    Maybe time to cut your losses and try to resell the bases. If you are going to spend 10K there are better ways to do it (especially considering the awful condition of the meridian speakers on ebay that you are looking at)

    Lack of 2.1 support is grinding my gears

    No pre amps in any system. All systems are detailed in the links in my signature. The SHD has multiple inputs as does the Yamaha steamer .

    Lack of 2.1 support is grinding my gears

    Nah, I had one and moved to a minidsp solution which is way better. Digital signal from streamer goes to minidsp SHD studio and digital out goes to Okto DAC8 pro, cheaper, much better(noise and distortion) and way more flexible. I also have a cheaper version on this for my living room system...

    Subwoofer Comparison

    This is still missing some subs that are in databass and the sweatchaos table , rythmik F18 for example.

    Subwoofer Comparison

    what is the source of that table? It has many fewer subs than the spreadsheet.

    Has anybody heard the new KEF KF92 sub? What are your opinions?

    Was referring to this novel idea https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/xlr-to-rca-subwoofer-new-idea.51995/

    you should definitely buy a few. You're already convinced; no audio science necessary. Make sure to place them close and invert the phase on one to "balance" the unbalanced signal!

    Tower with good bass extension vs. stand-mount with a sub?

    Using subs is usually better as it allows placement flexibility while avoiding SBIR but to get good results with subs proper bass management with high pass filtered mains and room correction are necessary. Also, btw the Kef subs are both poor value and poor performing, I recommend you look at...

    Is this as good as it gets?

    A bigger pair Rythmik, PSA, or Arendal subs would be a minimal investment considering the resale of the current subs and the overall cost of the system.

    Has anybody heard the new KEF KF92 sub? What are your opinions?

    Take a look at this table that I extracted from Sweetchaos's spreadsheet. I filtered for small sealed subs (less than 2.4 cubic feet. Manufacturer (sorted by, first) Model (sorted by, second) Converted to USD 20 hz 25 hz 31.5 hz 40 hz 50 hz 63 hz 80 hz 100 hz 125 hz Weight (lb) H (in) W...

    Is this as good as it gets?

    The point is headroom at low frequencies. The bridged AHB2s are capable of producing 117dB at 1 meter peaks with the R11s 90dB sensitivity. The kef subs fall well short of this and I would argue that at low frequencies headroom is even more important. Plus I would recommend crossing over to...

    Is this as good as it gets?

    Your subs fall well short of the rest of your system. can you fit some bigger subs?

    Serious Question: How can DAC's have a SOUND SIGNATURE if they measure as transparent? Are that many confused?

    Nah, any differences between a sine wave sweep and a multitone or other signal would be fully characterized by the harmonic distortion and intermodulation distortion measurement. This has been a solved problem for about 100 years

    And just this alone will be good if you don't need xlr outs https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/wiim-pro-plus-streamer-review.50254/
