Blu Ray from the HTPC
Which Blu-Ray CD ROM are you using? I've been researching this myself, wasn't sure which one to use or wait for BenQ to release theirs in Sept, if thats still going to happen. 
Do you leave your McCormack amps powered on 24/7?
BjueShort answer no, long answer Yes. I have two DNA-1 Dlx Gold’s that I use in a vertical bi-amp configuration. The reason I don’t leave them on all the time has more to do with heat, you would not believe how much those two radiators will heat u...

Horizontal bi-amping for 3a Signatures
Unsound I was worried about this subject myself when I was thinking about bi-amping my 3A's. After reading through the Q&A section on Vandersteens web site he states that "I do not recommend bi-amping especially solid state because the channel...
