Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age?
@tweak1 If you are finding some of the Tony Bennet recordings " wow ", listen to some Elvis Presley recordings, and realize the expert technical aspects of the recording and mixing engineers, as well as the King’s voice. Enjoy ! MrD. 
Need Help with my Proceed AMP3
I leave my amp on 24/7. Enjoy ! MrD. 
Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age?
Many amplifiers overloaded with 2 volts ? Are we talking about power amplifiers being overloaded, or preamplifier sections being overloaded ? 30 volts output ? Now I am confused. But, Enjoy ! MrD.

@atmasphere  Why would you feel 2 volts from a source should be cut down a bit ? 
Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age?
Ralph, this might have been covered before, but, why do so many preamps have high amounts of output voltage ? Enjoy ! MrD. 
What are these worth, and what can I sell them for?
The photos you posted, and the wikipedia story you posted, are not of the same speaker. The NS10 ( M = monitor ) speaker in the adjoining photo of the wikipedia story is the monitor I am familiar with, as being the NS 10 M. In mint condition, I ha...

Change the spades on the wire with smaller spades, as long as the new spades will accommodate the gauge size ( thickness ) of your wires. Enjoy ! MrD.

I might be missing something, but for as long as I can remember, the dacs I have owned, the cd players I have owned, the tuners I have owned ( and some tape machines ), have all been 2 volts output, or more. I also remember early passive units fro... 
Nuforce STA200
As much as I like the Nuforce, I would not look for a speaker it can drive. I would pick the speaker, and find the suitable amp to drive it. This has always been my approach. Enjoy ! MrD.

Old thread, but the Khorn lives on ! With a few updates and modifications, they can be world class. Join the Klipsch community and learn how to extract all that you can, even thought you are enjoying them now. (Enjoy ! MrD. 
Nuforce STA200
I have run my STA200 on several types of speakers, and it has had no problem running them to levels I am happy with. It runs slightly warm, and I leave it on 24 / 7, unless I am out of town overnight or longer. It has become my main amp for my Las... 
Nuforce STA200
It opens up nicely with a superior power cord, especially over the stock cord. Enjoy ! MrD.

@bcaudio. Hafler DH 500 was mentioned by timlub. To the OP : Fast transient focus ? A definitive characteristic of live, unamplified music. Keep the M22 and ask Atmasphere how to control the heat issue, as he mentioned. Enjoy ! MrD.

@tomic601. I am not looking at any of this as an argument. To everyone else. I owned, and enjoyed, the Pioneer M22. And, my recommendation of the Nuforce is a sensible one, and in my experience, it betters many things mentioned here, and that is s...
