| Amplifier for Cornwall IV I can’t reasonably imagine that the Pass Labs XA 30.8 , Parasound JC or Classe could exceed the Leben CS 300 paired with the Cornwall IV in terms of ultimate sound quality. In my opinion this speaker will be best served with high quality low-moder... | |

| Comparing Two Pairs of Mono's https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://odysseyaudio.com/stratos-mo...@georgehifi, This is what I am referring to. If they are not true mono block amplifiers then again your point is well founded. Charles | |
