To Bridge Or Not To Bridge
Well, an email from Krell customer service contradicts what Bret told me.I guess the answer is Not To Bridge.Maybe I should run some speakers to the porch... 
To Bridge Or Not To Bridge
Almarg, that was my concern as well. I don't see anything confidence inspiring in the manual either. But Bret D'Agostino said it would be fine. I'll call again to double check, I don't have the bridging wires anyway it turns out.Douglas, the KAV-5... 
To Bridge Or Not To Bridge
I called Krell and they said 4-Ohm would be no problem. I guess I'll try it then. Thanks. 
To Bridge Or Not To Bridge
Buff, it powers the rear surrounds and the center. Left and right are powered by a different amp.Schipo, er?

Reb1208, my recent experience with their new VP of Marketing was a real eye opener into the workings of Cary. I am never purchasing another product of theirs again: new, used, or otherwise. This piece being broken, I don't know whether to pile it ...

Atmasphere, thanks thats good to know. I wondered that about an old Rotel I had too.The problem with the Classe was definitely the Goertz cables. It has not done a single strange thing in three days now and it has been on the whole time. So, lets ...

Hahahaha. Unsound, I wrote that about the Zobels at the same time you did. I was not responding to you.Maybe the Zobels are loose inside the heat shrink?I've had two or three other people tell me that older Classe's are not compatible with Goertz ...

Nothing wrong with the Zobels on the Goertz. They are securely attached. The Classe just didn't like them and I don't think the Adcom did either.Switched between the Anthem and Cary for a bit. The Cary is definitely broken in some way. I don't kno... 
How am I frying all my amps? Oscillating? Help
Still no problems. I listened very loud, which normally induced the humming, nothing happened.So I guess the current answers are:1) the Classe and the Adcom didn't like the Goertz cabling.2) the Krell was bad from the start.3) there are no power o...

So the amp never hummed after five hours of listening and watching last night.I can still hear the volume control of the Anthem through the speakers (at the loud end of the spectrum only).Right now I am turning up the volume very high and we'll se...

I am at this very moment conducting a listening session with new XLRs and new speaker cable. The XLRs did eliminate the buzz. I forgot about that, I'm pretty new to balanced.The volume control on the Anthem could be heard in the speakers this time...

I take it all back. After an extended listening session, the Classe and Anthem were humming. But there was no volume control problem at least. I will try new speaker cables tomorrow for an extended listening session.Why did it take an hour or so f...

Wow, the Anthem is so lifeless. :-(But it does sound a LOT clearer. 
How am I frying all my amps? Oscillating? Help
More updates:I swapped speaker cables, eliminated all line conditioners, changed ICs, nothing changed.Then I hooked up an Anthem AVM 20 processor in place of the Cary. Volume control problems, popping, high pitched buzz problems solved. Generally ...
