Any experience with unbalanced channels--7B-ST?
Right you are Jim. I suspect Jameswei has it nailed. I definately answered too hastily on this one. 
Any experience with unbalanced channels--7B-ST?
A 6 db difference would be noticeable but shouldn't be driven by the relative clipping wattages. As Pbb suggests, the speakers could be the culprit -- e.g., one may now have a different impedence than the other. I'd wait until you got the Soundlab... 
What needs to go?
The Sunfire might not be the best dog in the fight, but it shouldn't cause fatigue. If anything, it may be a bit warm. If memory serves, the amp has two speaker outputs: Current and Voltage?? You may want to switch outputs as a first step. If that... 
HE2004 Pictures - Kudos to Albert Porter
Albert, it's not too hard to tell who your favorite was. Hmmm ... maybe that's why your wife burned your underwear ;-) P.S. Thanks tons for the pictures -- they're great 
I would like to know the sites
Great response Rushton -- very useful. Thanks. 
Impedance issues???
Absolutely ditto ... each device has an input and output impedence which is usually very different. It does pay to check it all in your manuals since impedence matching is important (e.g., the output impedence of your preamp should be a good bit -... 
B.P.L.?
That would be frightening! With the right technology built into appliances, your life would potentially be an open book. So what TV shows and movies are you watching? What radio stations are you hearing? Every appliance might be hooked into the ne... 
Man my Center Channel Sounds Sweet Tonight
A center channel speaker can also be handy if the TV or other gear is between the main speakers -- unfortunately, mine has to be set up that way for my home theatre system. I'm glad you're enjoying the mains without the center. Should we call that... 
Anyone have their system insured?
Thanks for the post - I never even thought about a separate insurance policy. Well, that can certainly pay for those Audiogon annual fees ;-) 
software plug
Thanks for the recommendation. How is the recording quality? 
Worlds’ Best High End Loudspeaker Competition/Demo
Thanks for the info -- I would love to be able to experience more direct comparisons. Mind you, I don't believe there is a "clear" winner in these competitions since people do have different ears. Plus, it's all about synergy and another speaker m... 
Perfect Day to just Rock Out
I'm listening to some Buddy Guy at pretty high volumes right now. Life is good! (or to paraphrase Kenny, GOOD!) This is one fine hobby. 
Trelja and friends in New York, 2004
Thanks again for taking the time to provide us all with a wonderful review. I wish I could have been there ... maybe next year ;-) 
Those damn Brits
If they sound good now, I'm not sure why they wouldn't cut it next week or next month. Are these particular amps 26 years old? If so, I'm surprised the capacitors are still in good shape. That may be one "upgrade" that's in order. Congratulations ... 
Who Would Have Thought?
Given that my daughter has already fried the integrated amp I bought her for her 20th birthday, I may go this route the next time. Unfortunately, the spec sheet didn't mention how many beers can be poured on the unit before it stops working ;-)Spe...
