| Pick one:Shunyata Hydra or PS Audio DrubinThat is interesting. I had thought that the power draw of the power plant was much higher.I see you live in california as I do.How did you check what the draw was when both were plugged in?JD | |

| A. Eidolon v. JM Lab Utopia I run eidolons and I love them. I agree about the midrange but how do the labs match up on the bottom end? The eidolons in some rooms can sound a bit thin in terms of the bass.jd | |
