| help-lexicon mc 12v5 vs. mac mx135 Slvrtravel:I have a lot of experience with the Lex Mc12b and can tell you it greatly helps setting up a home theater. My approach has been to take a quality 2 channel system and expand it to 7.1 surround. I use the Mc12b and Classe amps. The Mac 7... | |

| Lipinski vs. Avalon I heard the Lipinski at the 06 CES. They were set up in a multichannel config. Very smooth. My impression is that full range was sacrificed for excellence in the range it does well at. Down to 40 essentially. Designed to image spectacularly. This ... | |

| 2 stereo amps in a mono-block config = 2 x power? Pre amp "out" signals are usually 2 volts or less. Your power output of the amp would be the rating of the amp.
