is unbelievably great. I have a 901 + K1000s which are my favorite cans by a wide margin. In my system, the SB drives a Behringer DCX2496 which feeds the Grace/K1000 and also (optionally) a North Creek Poseidon 10" subwoofer. For some music, such as bass-heavy jazz and rock, the sub makes a big

The Grace is nice becuase it has everything in one unit. It's not regarded as being the best DAC or the best headphone amp, but it's decent at both and as a combo it has value. For a lot of opinions, spend a few hours/days keyword searching here... http://www.head-fi.org/ ...which you may alre

I really like the different wood options on those SVS subs. Big plus on the WAF vs. my big black Paradigm PS-1200. If they look good and sound good then what more can you ask for? Which model do you have Dan? -- zooropa320 Audio gear: SB3 * Denon AVR-3802 * McIntosh MC-2120 * Paradigm Monit

Any sub you chose will be a compromise between Price/Performance/WAF/Your tastes/and What your looking for. It has to sound good to you in your living room. Since no one has mentioned SVS subs, I will. After many auditions of other brands were unsatisfying, I bought a 12" w/525w built-in amp fr
