| Again the topic of weight of amps Interesting...care to share the monsters' names?I suppose there are good and bad heavy amps.both my Classe CA-2300 and my PSAudio BHK-250 are amazing. I don't lift them much, and I don't need mono blocks with either amps. My speakers are Revel S... | |
| Again the topic of weight of amps The weight and size of Class D is indeed appealing. So I tried a pair pf PS Audio M700's for my new basement system. I thought they sounded nice.Then to compare , I lugged my Classe CA-2300 downstairs. There was no comparison, to me. I sent th... | |
