Pass X150.5 or Odyssey Stratos monos?
call Steve McCormack , tell him  his dna-750’s are less of an amp because they are nothing more than bridged dna -500’s. That they lose sound and are inferior because their bridged.    Really,  call Steve, and let him explain it.   Cheers George!

When is a mismatched center OK?
BIC DV62 LRS.   best center speaker ever heard at any price. Also can be used as main left and rights as well.  Great little speaker!! If bright, put a layer or 2 of cotton tshirt on the grill in front of the tweeter.

Amplifier Break-in - It's Real
My SS AMPS sound so much better when turned on 24 hours before listening.  If I listen on Friday or (and) sat night, I will power on Thursday morning at 4 am before I leave for work, they are on all day Thursday, and Thursday night, for jamming on...
