MC352 owners
Hey guys, thanks for the feedback........I did not check my speakers with a meter yet, they're supposed to be 4 ohms....... I'll rest easy now, it seems some run hotter than others and the amp has a good protection system, so I'll just let it be..... 
MC352 owners

Anti-Static Treatments
I love the Nordost ECO spray, cds, dvds, cables, that stuff really works........ I liked the Walker fluid too but it's a pain in the neck to apply. Gonna try the L'Art Du Son enhancer at some point. Any way you can't go wrong with the ECO spray.

VTL IT-85 or Mcintosh MA6500
So I went and A/B'd the two amps and the Mcintosh sounded a little punchier and had a nicer midrange to it and a slightly bigger soundstage.......... the extra wattage in the Mcintosh helped I guess............ but don't get wrong the Vtl has a ni...
