Advice Needed...16 Year Old Bryston 7B-ST's or Emotiva XPA-'s (gen2)?
I currently use two Emotiva XPA-2 (gen2) Bridged in my system Went with an 8 year old Bryston 14B SST2 and could't be happier! They replaced a pair of Emotive XPR-1 Monoblocs   Just out of curiosity, the amps been replaced are XPR-1 or XPA2?

Channel Imbalance at low volumes
You may want to get an audiogram, to rule out a hearing imbalance. Recruitment occurs at higher volume levels. Or use headphones and see if the problem still exists

Spend more money on the amp or the pre-amp?
Nakamichi CA5 < $300 and PA5 < $500, can't think of any integrated < $800 can beat that combo 
Need suggestions please! Electrical noise in my system and it's driving me crazy!
Could be DC voltage in your power line, some dimmer also caused problems.
