4 amplifiers to drive 1 pair of speakers?
thegreenman, you only see what I want you to see...  ;) (Quite mysterious, eh?) There are certain ways using multiple channels may (for the community's sake, notice the word "may") sound better than a stereo amp or monos. Do not be overly impresse...

This is an unproductive topic.

antigrunge2, I appreciate your feedback here! It’s quite a bit of fun to explore different methods, and I am glad that you took the time to do so. If by your phrase, "Zodiac’s 10m BNC clock cable", you mean a 10m long run of cable, then I suggest ...

To all those who celebrate!
Blessed Easter indeed! I have been playing some great, uplifting music from We The Kingdom. Perhaps not so audiophile approved, but sounds terrific on a good rig!  :)
