| Wilson Maxx 2 Biamping? FWIW-I inquired with the same question a while back and was told NO by Wilson.It had something to do with the crossover in their speakers and even though there are multiple binding posts the speaker will not operate properly when trying to bi-amp.... | |
| ARC vs LFD Hi TatersI don't know which model tube amp you have but your numbers seem accurate for big tube amps. I have a pair of Mcintosh tube mono-blocks that burn tubes at the same rate as your ARC's I will live with it so not to compromise the wonderful ... | |
