| To monoblock or not to monoblock McIntosh MC275's ^^^^^^^^ Al, thanks so much for this clear explanation. Of course, I expect nothing less from you!

| Should I consider the newer Audio Research pre & power amps, when I play records not CD's lostbears I hope you get the Ref 5se. You will feel no need to upgrade for a very long time.

| Wilson Audio Haters shadorneWith small 8" woofers obviously you need a subwoofer.Not necessarily. The Infinity RS1-B speaker system used 8-inch woofers, and it surely didn't need a subwoofer. To be fair, it did use six of them per side. | |
