Right Channel dropped out Bryston BP-26P (upgraded from BP-25P)
Check your connections and swap the cable at the power amp.XLR first speaker cable next..No idea if they have breakers or fuses. Seldom does the cheapest amp on the planet blow up from a cable tough. All that to say check ALL the fuses in the powe... 
Class A amps
I still have a pair of T400s an a S500 it's loaned out..My T400 were set up by a serious Threshold NUT. They will push anything. He worked with James B for 2 years.. I had a pair of 2000 Ampzillas too. They will push a load too..I haven't heard EV...

That Other Audiophile Website
The guy trades for a box of Havana's and wonders why his/her BOX stinks.. Geez.. 
Have you moved away from full range to standmount speakers + subs?
ted_denny, my ONLY question is WHY you haven’t taken action already. It’s one thing to have an opinion, it’s something completely different to actively and willfully participate in a smear campaign in an ONGOING basis.I’ve read post on these forum...

Why the hate for mcintosh amps?
The question is not the amount of bass it's the quality and timing of the bass. A lot of folks are finding out the difference. A sub on either side of the seated position and mains set in a good triangle about 1/3 further away than the subs, might... 
Budget High Current Power Cords
The whole debate about AC power cords is ridiculous. Same with speaker wire. It’s ridiculous. If it can carry enough power to the device, it is adequate, and using a more expensive cable isn’t going to make a damn bit of difference. Sorry, but a... 
Crossovers
STL will build you a wonderful big valve crossover just for your current speaker or ANY you decide to go to..I use a simple Behringer 2496 for bass management and First Watt for the monitor section. B4 or 5 depends on application once again. A ste...

RCA vs XLR and Balanced vs Unbalanced
If you a long run and potential noise problem XLRs really help. If you don't have EMI RFI noise issues, RCAs and the length of the run work just fine. One thing is for sure XLRs have a better secure connection. The exception is locking RCAs.Most X... 
Has Anyone Here Tried The SVS Soundpath Feet On A Rel Sub?
When you couple ANY frequency to anything other than the driver and its cabinet you get at least two different signals at two different times.You can do it that way if you like the outcome, BUT the fact is it will be smeared. The floor (no matter ...
