| ZERO Feedback talk. Monarchy amps. I own the Monarchy SM-70s which are 25 w/ch. stereo amps. The also are switchable to mono-operation at 70w/ch. and also support balanced operation.Personally, I think these amps are GREAT. I have had maybe 10 different amp setups in the last 2 yea... | |
| 2 channel audio w/video question? Yes, you can do this. Simply run the output of the DAC (CD and DVD sound source) into the pre-amp and also run the RCA stereo outputs from the VCR to the preamp. Of course both video outputs go to the TV. Then, run the analog RCA outputs from the ... | |

| I am pissed I always keep an eye on items I've sent using the on-line packaging tracking systems of UPS and FedEx. You can see the status of the package and e-mail the buyer or call UPS with additional instuctions. Obviously this effort shouldn't be necessary... | |

| MOST tubelike solid state amp If you are in San Francisco, I would recommend contacting CC Poon at Monarchy (in South SF). He builds some very nice sounding mono-block amps. I have heard on several occassions that the Monarchy amps sound like tube amps.I have the least expensi... | |

| Best Outdoor Speakers I would buy the modified BIC DV-52 Adatto from Ed Frais at EFESPKRS@aol.com. Read the reviews at www.audioreview.com. Ed sells the BIC with his modified crossover for under $150 I think. They have built in keyhole wall mounts and are designed for ... | |
| Solid State Integrated in 1500- 1800 range ? I have the Plinius 8200 and a good friend has the 8100(less power). My friend is driving Thiel 2-2's, the previous version of your speaker. Both of us agree that the Plinius sounds fantastic! My other buddy, the original owner of the Thiels, said ... | |
| Receiver +2ch pre on same speakers? Which one? You can just get rid of the three channel amp. If you have a pre-amp(with processor loop) and a main two channel amp, just power the center and rear surrounds off of the receiver. Run the receivers L&R front pre-outs to the input of your pre-a... | |

Even though the Arcam was rated at 110 per channel, ... | |
| Running CD-Player Directly from Amp I use my Theta Miles connected directly to a pair on Monarchy Audio SM-70's via balanced interconnects. This setup works very well. The Theta has variable analog volume control of both unbalanced(RCA) and balanced(XLR) outputs. For a single source... |
