Connecting 2 ch amp with home theatre receiver
Hi Dtanclim, I have been able to compare the 312 directly against a pair of 501 without PC-1s and the difference was very significant in favor of 312. . . similar authority and staging. . . but a great deal more refined, emotional, sweet in treble...

Advice for upgrading my current amp.
