Starting a second system, need efficient speaker suggestions.
I don’t have the Cary yet, maybe Monday. Current speakers are Magnepan 3.7i with a Hegel H390 integrated. I'll try the Cary, but I'm afraid it won't be up to the task. 86db/4 ohms? Maybe not, but still, in push-pull 40 wpc triode, I do not t...

Should Amps be plugged into a power conditioner?
