Hmmm; Fully modded SRS's and a freshly recapped big Mcintosh amp. That's a wonderful combination and a sure fired cure for upgraditis as well. Best of luck to you finding someone properly qualified...

There's no thinking the sub buys a lot; myself and several others know it to be a fact.
It's a very simple procedure to split the outputs on your adcom with no degradation in sound when the day...

Lol; Me? The end all know it about 2 channels and subs? Hardly; there was a time I even stacked sda's but I won't eleborate on that misadventure.
It's a very simple set up and tuned by ear. There's...

It's pretty tough take a guy seriously that jacks up the bass control on his SDA's and thinks he's somehow got the equal of a sub. You're more than welcome to stop by and play around with my set up....

Agreed; that ain't happening here either. But it'll also be an ice cold day downstairs when I stop supplementing my SDA's lowest frequencies.

Oh oh.......good luck to you in coming here and trying to tout the benefits of pro amps to be used on the big polks. I'm wondering if you may have masochistic tendencys:biggrin:
In all honesty...

The cost I can certainly understand being a deal breaker. But should you find a deal on a quality sub you don't need to go spendy on the cables because of the limited bandwith the sub's covering....

Cranking the volume knob and jacking up the bass control isn't what it's about. If you're happy without a sub then good for you. But if you had a sub that could switch in and out you'd see and hear...

If you do want to try a sub with your polks make sure it's a damn good one. You're not going to get any improvement from even an above average ht sub or multiple average subs. But once you integrate...

Pretty much everything I listen to benefits from the addition of the sub. If you really need an example Celion Dion's Heart will go on has some bass that I've never felt before the addition of this...

The Mac has great synergy with the polks; by far the best I've heard out of the dozen or so amps that I've had. It replaced and handily beat a carver tfm 45 which wasn't exactly a slouch. I've also...

I do believe you're right. My recently overhauled 650wpc Mcintosh amp just ain't cutting the mustard. Would you have any suggestions on what I might upgrade to:biggrin:?
On a serious note though I...

Pretty much all the music I listen to benefits from the use of this sub. Sure the 1.2s go low but the def tech does it with authority and definately adds to the music.

I've gone to great lengths...

I used to be in the no sub needed crowd with my 1.2tls. I had an m+k 12 dual push pull that really didn't seem to add much if anything. Then I stumbled across my current def tech 18'' sub which goes...

Ok Pm sent to daboyz. I saw your last post endershadow about it sitting on the dining room table and I mistook it for the Grant. Thanks for forwarding my errant pm.

I'll take this; pm sent

I'd even go so far as to say that proper set up had more of an influence than all of my mods put together. Problem is once I figured that out now I'm anal about proper placement. A 10' straight...

I know exactly how you feel. Against better advice I also bastardized my set up on my 2.3s in the worst possible way. But we can look at this way; we know how poor they can sound as well as how good...

Chrome trim rings more often than not mean junk. Save the 10 spot for something worthwhile.

Congrats on your new SRS's and I see you're using an MC2300 on them. Big polk speakers and big Mac amps are an excellent combination:biggrin:.
I'd have to agree with what the other posters suggested...

I was thinking the yammys he mentioned have gain controls if he wanted to go that route. The adcoms don't even have speaker relays let alone gain controls.

You could match the bass and treble by using the gain knobs on the amps. But I agree with the others after trying out vertical bi-amping for myself. There's very little if anything to be gained here....

I ran a 9090db on 4ohm ba400's for quite a while and never had a problem. I imagine if I pushed it to half volume for several hours there might've been a problem. But at sane volumes there was never...

Plenty of love here for the 1530's. My bud happens to have 2 pair of them. Some lucky day I'd love to own one pair of them. They're one of the smoothest sounding large speakers that I've heard.

I also did my 1.2tl's with Larry's rings. Now if there is a way to screw something up I no doubt would've found it. I took my time drilled the holes straight and it all went together without a...
