| Will I blow anything up? You would really need to find out what the the impedances are for the woofer and the mid/highs separately. This configuration is similar to bi-amping as Im assuming you are removing any jumpers at the speakers? | |
| Buzz trnasmitted to speakers from amplifer If you have any low voltage lighting on while your system is on this will cause a low level buzzThe lighting does not need to be on the same circuit just off the panel itself as most people only have one electrical panel in the house. | |
| Where does fatique come from? My experience is from the tweeters. I recently did a crossover rebuild to a vintage pair of speaker and used a high quality capacitor and resistors (Duelund). Also upgraded to a soft dome tweeter replacement and the fatigue were gone.I can listen ... | |
| Can a single LFE output be split to L/R sub inputs some subs allow you to "daisy chain" two subs together with one LFE output from a preamp. The first sub is the master and the second is the slave.This would be your best option | |
| can biwire cables be used on a non-biwire speaker? I'm not sure how you would make a tight connection with spades and if they are banana's i dont think you would be able to connect a pair to each + and - terminalI sent my cable back to the manufacturer for a reterminationThats your best option | |

| Any Cure for You may need to use an out board DAC connected to the toslink outputof the IMACI have a MACBOOK connected in this fasion with good results. Although not all the stations provide a quality signal to begin with | |
| Tube preamp choice to upgrade a Pass Labs X1 Lamm LL2. Solid bass and very wide soundstage. I've owned mine for five years never tube rolled and have been very pleased. A great value but very no frills look if you don't mind | |
| Subwoofer meshes well with 2-channel? 30hz is low if that is at -3dbYou will need a sub that is gonna reach 20hz or lower at -db to see a real significant improvement. That will mean no HT subs. Quality subs like bags end or rels bigger subsThe vandy mentioned is a good sub but not su... | |
