How does the Phase Linear 400 compare?
back in the early 70's i had a pl400 with 4 bose 901's! in the late 90's the pl400 fried 3 of my 901's!! 
Is my anti-skating too strong.
i remember back in the early 70's my first turntable was a gerrard zero 100! when i would cue it, the tonearm used to float to the outer side of the record! i guess that was the anti sking force in action!!LOL!!

FTC may end amplifier rule! ACTION NEEDED
back in the 70's, many companys rated their units at like 200 watts when they were actually 10 watts! doe's anyone remember this?? 
Are your current amps and other gear the best you've ever had?
i'm not really an audiofile. back in the early 70's i had a marantz 4300 with 4 bose 901 series 2 speakers. in the early 2000's i bought a mcintosh mc2205 power amp. in the early 2010's i bought a mc602 amp. and a mx132 unit. still have the bose.s... 
McIntosh MC 275 Mark VI
hi mrdeclbel2, good comment!! you should write a book! LO! 
8900 integrated
this is not hard to figure out! left and right pre outs go into the input of both amps! 
8900 integrated
if your 8900 has pre outs you can do this. 
receiver or preamp
i only listen to fm and tv on my system. i used to have an older reciever mated to a power amp then to the speakers. the reciever was to noisy so i bought a pre amp tuner to take place of the old reciever.no noise now!! by the way my pre amp tuner... 
Do speaker wires matter
back in the 70's or 80's my brother in law sold stereo equipment.in those days he said that speaker wires don't matte! all these expensive speaker wires back then were to make money!!?? 
Which integrated amp for rock/metal (and why McIntosh?)
i have a mcintosh amp in my 2 chanell setup. what i like about mcintosh is it's power guard! i like my rock music loud and i don't have to worry about distorsion!! 
bridging an amp
i have a question. if you have a pair of klipsh speakers that can handle 100 watts continuous does it matter if you have 200 or 600 watts?? what will the 600 watt amp do better than the 200 watt amp? 
which speaker to buy
my son has klipsh speakers. i don't know what model it is but he said they are rated to handle 100 watts continuous and 500 watt peaks. i told him with a 300 watt mc7300 don't turn the volume up too much or you might damage his speakers! 
which speaker to buy
actually, my son doe's have a pair of klipsh speakers. i don't know what model it is. only reason he want's to bridge is because he has no funds to buy an amplifier to suit his needs. he want's to bridge to see how much louder his klipsh speakers ... 
bridging an amp
you are right. if you want more power, get the right amp.in his case he can't afford it. that's why he want's to bridge his 2 amps!
