My AP-REL based simple setup

[Shivam]

I have now setup a decent system which sounds good to me.

My system :

Power supply -
Dedicated power line for music system only.
Bajaj voltage stab and an over/under voltage cut-off device with built in filters.
Supra cables based power strip with Supra and generic power cords for equipment.

Sources -
Musical Fidelity M1 Clic (streaming flac files over wifi from Netgear NAS)
NAD C546BEE Cd player
Marantz DVD player (working as a second CD player)

Interconnects -
QED and Bandridge interconnects.

Amplifier -
AP Swara active preamp and crossover feeding dual mono SS amps.
(Subs have their own built-in amps)

Speaker cables and pre-power interconnects -
Thallam speaker cables and interconnects.

Speakers -
AP MS101 based bookshelves mounted on Soundfoundations stands. Old Vifa (scanspeak) drivers with no cross-over.
REL T7 subwoofers, one each for each channel connecting using high level connection in parallel to low frequency drivers of the main speakers.

Room treatment -
Open cell foam based absorption panels. Wall diffusers.

(I am presently not using any analogue source)

Excellent system there, Shivam! And you bought a second T7? Wow!

Which was easier to integrate: A single subwoofer or two subwoofers?

Do post pictures of the equipment and the room.

Two subwoofers were easier to integrate and the response is very flat now. It is better than using room correction. The placement was a tough task and it took me many long days to set the two subs properly. It was well worth the trouble. I experimented with the various recommended placements including middle of two opposite walls, almost in the center of room and various irregular placements. Finally, I have placed them near the two speaker stands with different distances from various walls with respect to each other.

Great set-up. Sure you are enjoying it. Please post some pictures

I will surely do so soon.
