Help with hookup
As the meters on the mc352 are responding to the signal from the preamp, I suspect " it " is at the amp end. What are the speaker wire connections you are using, both at the amp end and the speaker end ? If you are using bare wire, make sure enoug... 
Toshiba TX 2500 Vintage Receiver question
Are you hearing a thump through your speakers at turn on ? My understanding is, the majority of Japanese built, as well as Taiwan, Singapore and China built receivers, used speaker output relays, the relay you are not hearing. I would not worry ab... 
New Preamp arrived....
I appreciate those that find an active preamp, the end all to great sound. I have experienced passive devices for many years, but until I received my Luminous Axiom II, Walker modded unit, it was either / or for me. I am not trying to be a shill h... 
THE NEW POLK LEGEND SERIES
Burn in is very real....Why are people here, still responding to kenjit ? 
JADIS DEFY7, can not get it to sing
I do not understand one thing you say. " I can not stand a warm sound ". Tubes add warmth. Yes, some designs, some tubes, more than others, but, they all, do, add warmth, even the mega dollar units. I choose to not use tubes, for that very reason.... 
Help with hookup
@fortin, your original post indicated the " m " before the c2300. The mc2300 is a power amp, which is why the question was asked. Now that we have that out of the way, describe to us the hook up, please, so we can help you.  
Klipsch, introduces The Cornwall IV, and I think it will be a killer !
The mid horn in the Cornwall IV is larger than that of the Forte III. My 1st Klipsch speaker that I owned ( before my bar mitzvah ), was the CW, using vertical mid and tweet horns. I modded them as much as I could, and, they were amazing.....These... 
NUPRIME EVOLUTION ONE-BEST CLASS D AMP ON THE MARKET
@audiozen , back in the day, I sold, and installed, Spectral gear, as well as owning a few pieces. What I have not experienced, was a Spectral preamp driving another branded amp, and vis a versa. Always paired together. Also, only with MIT cables ... 
NUPRIME EVOLUTION ONE-BEST CLASS D AMP ON THE MARKET
@audiozen , there is something to be said about an audio product having a heavy, massive chassis. Yes, it costs money....but like a tube, a flimsy chassis can have vibrational issues, both mechanically, and acoustically, that might not be measurab... 
JADIS DEFY7, can not get it to sing
@mozartfan, you asked, so here it goes....I have kinda supported you throughout your journey, but I have to say ( and I do not mean any harm ), that, you are all over the place. Take a deep breath, relax, wait for the Leaf, as you did order it, an... 
Klipsch speaker choices
All good ! 
Klipsch speaker choices
BTW, the Heresy IVs will be incredible, imo.........but, if you have the room, and budget, the CW IV will be the finest, of all that were mentioned. 
Klipsch speaker choices
@daledeee1, damp the horns, using Dynamat, or a similar type material, as well as the woofer frames and cabinet panels, and things will smooth out and tighten up. @big_greg. Except for the removable back panels of the original Heresy and Cornwall,... 
Considering simplifying my system... talk me down (or whatever)
@cat345....Really ? A turbo designed set of Klipschorns, replaced by the Harbeths you recommended ? You need to listen to a pair of properly set up, properly driven Khorns. However, to each his / her own. Enjoy ! MrD. 
JADIS DEFY7, can not get it to sing
stereo5, whatever dude......handbags are an excellent example of copying a design. I see nothing wrong with it. It gives women, and possibly, some men, satisfaction, that they can own a $3500. look alike for under $100. If you look at the parts in...
