If you need a preamp with analog crossover to sub + HT bypass,  I narrow down the choice to Emotiva USP-1 and Parasound 2100. If you need full range bypass for HT then your choice would be parasound 2100 as Emotiva can't passthrough full range for HT bypass option and the lowest it will go for the crossover is 50hz. But it's a good choice for me as my speaker is only rated down to 80hz only.

Time for you to call Mark for pre-own amp version of Submersive.

The only thing I am not so sure abt the Submersive is that for me I would require more inputs. The Submersive has only one mono input. For 2 channel stereo, you would need to use a SMS-1 that has that the required inputs/outputs to do what I want. Or you would need stereo to mono summing box.

I know one thing based on my listening the last few days, the DaliIkon Sub is just not going to cut it on its own. I need a better sub for sure. The F15 is a definately something to consider. The Seaton Submersive or the PB13-U is the holy grail (eD I think as well, but i'm not a diy person with wood..., soldering here and there and making simple circuits are ok, but wood....I doubt).

The new amps on the PB13U are also cool. I think I will stop saying good things about the Seaton as that would mean ron losing his exclusivity. This way we can all drool abt the Seaton. biggrin.gif. Its one good sub IMHO!

Also on the HT bypass, there are some options like Odyssey Candela (tube amp with HT bypass), Parasound.. I am not too sure abt the USP-1 for now.

With the preamp I listed above, you only need one mono input. The bass will be redirect to the mono sub output from the preamp.

True, but I am quite happy with my current preamp...trying to resist the poison to change the preamp. I just spent quite a bit changing from integrated stereo amp to pre/power late last year...cannot justify.

IIRC, he has a Orpheus DAC, Holfi Pre NB1 VCS, 2x Power NB250DC, Super Battriaa, Batt2riaa, NBS power cords and a pair of Holfi floorstanders. Can't remember the model name. CD Tranport from Studer. VP1 Turntable

The other one is Wilson Audio Watt Puppy with Jeff Rowland. There are quite a number of high end audiophiles here.

wait til you hear about multi-million hi-fi systems in Penang. There is a group of ultra high-end hi-fi system there.

Ipoh also plenty of them. Then there are a few in Sarawak esp Kuching. Need not to mention KL / PJ.

As for HT over here, the biggest HT room measures about 40' x 60'. The coolest HT system would be a prominent contractor's mansion near the Yang DiPertuan Negeri Sembilan's Palace. It's a complete B&W 8 series system. The size sld be abt 22' x 55' sweat.gif
