I also have my ports plugged and the ACI 85Hz high-pass filter in line to the Panorama's.

Hi Budyog,You have a very nice system! I have a couple of questions concerning your stereo Maestros.I am currently using a multi-channel SS pre-pro, but want to try stereo subs in a two channel setup. I would like to split the output from the preamp and use ACI’s in-line filters, probably the 85 Hz. But will consider the 65 Hz unit.My concerns are: A) Is the 6 db/octave filter steep enough? Do you feel it should be steeper? and B) Will there be loading problems with a tube pre driving a SS power amp and the sub?I am curious how others are driving stereo subs? Would I be better off using the balanced filters from ACI, with single ended adapters? (ie: 12db/octave?)Thanks,Joe

Hi Budyog,How big is your room ? and what is the dimension ? I am using a pair of Force for stereo sub as well. I always wondering if upgrading to a pair of Titian or Maestro will give me much for my 17'x17' room.Thanks.
the other set of preamp outs to my R-DES, then Y-cording it into my 2-Maestro amps
Budyog,First of all someone who lists Gentle Giant and BrandX in the same thread deserves an Attaboy!A few questions for you please:- I'm not sure I follow your connection to the stereo subs. Sounds like your preamp has two pairs of outputs one of which goes to the filters-AVA-Panorama. But then Quotethe other set of preamp outs to my R-DES, then Y-cording it into my 2-Maestro amps I'm confused about the Y-cording. Isn't the R-DES a stereo (or dual mono if you will) unit that has L/R inputs and L/R outputs (the same EQ is applied to each channel, right?), so you wouldn't need any Y-connectors? Or are you using a ".1" output for theater use? - Maybe that's my answer. Just trying to visualize how you have this set up.- Have you noticed any change in sound w/ the 85 hz filters? Are they totally benign?Thanks-Mike
My understanding for RDES is it is a mono EQ device even it has L/R Input and Output as you pointed out same EQ apply to both. That is the reason why I didn't go for RDES. If you really want to run stereo subs, you need two RDES (one for each channel) and apply separate EQ curve to each channel. Please let use know how you like the 85hz high pass filter ? THanks.
