McIntosh MC 8207 Power Guard problem.
I hadn’t thought of doing that. Thanks for the suggestion. 
Warm romantic & detailed
There are too many reply’s to check for any Von Schweikert recommendations. I had the same problem with the top end, and went through a couple of different speakers before I found my Von Schweikert VR 33’s.  Their sound is big, full, lush and roma... 
Personal speaker evolution
My first speaker (singular!) back in the days of monophonic sound was a JBL D130 in a home made corner cabinet, driven by a Bozak 20 watt tube amp. Many more after that and finally a better quality sound when I got a pair of AR 2AX's. After that, ... 
Anthem D2 runs

Anthem AVM50V vs: Statement D2v
Theo, Thanks for the response. On further exploration of Anthems site I came across a page where they listed the AVM50, AVM50v and the D2v specifications side by side. The only differences in what was listed is that the D2v has 24/192 upsampling o... 
Bypassing B&K AVR 507 Pre-amp.

Thanks Imhififan. I know there would be some distortion with the two pots, but I wonder how bad it would be. I would have to live with it for 2-3 months before I could take on the amp. Do you think it would be significant? I'm worried about sellin... 
B&K Bi Amp question
Imhififan - Thanks for the second post. My AVR 507 S2 manual only goes up to page 59. I do have the volume set to variable for zone 2. (As well as zone 1) I'm beginning to think I'm not going to be able to control both at the same time. Bummer! 
B&K Bi Amp question
Not sure what you mean by "main out". Are you talking about pre-amp outputs? There is a left/right and composite video out for zone B. I'm trying to use the two 150W zone B amps to bi-amp my speakers. I can't get the volume control to control both...
