| Can You Get 1,000 WPC Out Of Regular Wall Socket? Is there such a thing as an amp that does not do better above 2 ohm? Granted some will do way better than others in that case. If given a choice, its probably best to avoid speakers that could effectively measure 2 ohms at all. | |
| Curious record side labeling It's really amazing me that this is such a surprise! I guess I'm showing my age.Normal people who played records back in their heyday wanted some level of convenience. Automatic start and stop and record changers in particular were the norm by far... | |

| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? "The 5000's through a huge soundstage and take control of the room with live listening levels."For me, that's the pinnacle of "high end audio" Lots of speakers can do most of the other stuff well. Its a lot harder to do it at a scale that sounds r... | |
| JBL S4700s BTW, I used to sell JBL speakers back in their 70's heyday at Tech Hifi in NY/NJ area. They were never my favorites back then. The bass with those large woofers always sounded muddy and undefined. Of course, we has mostly only receivers and integr... | |

Thank you sir!I also recall adiogoner chadeffect driving large Apogees with great success using BEl Canto ref1000 or ref1000m. 1000m is better built for the job. That tells me that these amps are up to most any job. I know they a... |
