| Rotel vs NAD someone above mentioned 'no 4ohm rating on Rotel amp'.True. I had an RB-1070 rated at 130x2 with no 4ohm rating. However, it would bridge to 390x1 at 8ohms. From this I infer a rating of 195x2 at 4ohms. Make sense?Going upline to the RB-1080 of 20... | |
| Anyone have comments on radical toe in? My panels are now nearly straight. Nearly no toe at all. I have experimented forever, in a bad, constrained room. Too much toe produced a very small, focused sweetspot and overbright sound. Moving the speakers as close together as practical, about... | |

| Nad c-370: Right Channel drops out My 1 bit of NAD ownership was troublefree for 2 decades. The piece? An old 1700 tuner/preamp. It worked without complaint, even the remote, until the day I gave it to charity.Prospective buyers wanted it for the phono section which I broke by doin... | |
