| 4 pcs of Martin Logan Clarity to one Integrated Amplifier Marantz PM 80 How about NAD T773? It still just 110w of receiver watts, it may work, but those speakers deserve more than HT receiver watts.Cheers George | |
| How to choose an attenuator Both your Amp2 and CAV180 have very high input impedances, perfectly suited for passive preamps (which a fixed attenuator is in a way) just that you can't adjust it. Why not have it all, and have an adjustable one like the Schiit Sys, $49http:... | |
