| Question about Active Bi-amping ---amp one---to tweeter/midrange preamp---to crossover ---amp two---to bass | |
| MC601 power output More than 3db? Not unusual for big amps to have quite a bit of difference. Is it audible? | |
| McIntosh with Klipsch Palladium P17B How about a Mac tube amp? Sell your older amp and keep the others. | |
| Which amp for my new Volti Razz Quicksilver horn mono. Not pretty but the best amp I've ever heard. | |
| Is Magnepan still in business ? Magnepan is a manufacturer. Calling them is like calling GM because your Chevy needs service. They are understaffed and are tough to deal with but most of the time, they are busy working on your order. | |
| Speaker Break-in I've only had one pair of loudspeakers that changed dramatically after a short break-in. Everything needs some burning in but mechanical drivers used in loudspeakers get to one-million cycles pretty quick. Hook them up and enjoy. | |

| Comparing One System to Another - A + B Easy answer. If you are sitting 20 feet away, you better have mega power and a serious loudspeakers system. In your case the near field monitors are doing their job, your living room system isn't up to the task. | |
| B&W 802 d4 with Tube Amplifier Try it and see if you like it. | |
| Questions about purchasing a used CJ tube amp Ask for a one week warranty for any amp failure. | |
| Integrated amp recommendation Look at the Rogue Sphinx or a Musical Fidelity. | |
| How does a speaker blow out? You got 22 watts, you can't play loud on most loudspeakers with 22 watts. Low power is bad for loudspeakers because the waveform comes to a sudden stop and the driver goes out of control. Damage happens long before you hear the distortion. Turn it... |
