| Stereo amp to drive one center channel speaker? I had an Acurus A150 that I used for my center channel for awhile. I just used one channel (right)input and connected speaker to that side.

| Questions on the Camelot Arthur 3.0 Mk.II?? I had one for about 3 months. I found the sound to have a harsh/shrill character in the upper mid range and treble, and to be extremely resolving and detailed.

| Mark Levinson No. 39 act as a preamp? I believe that the No.39 only accepts digital inputs. So yes, it may be used as a preamp, but only for digital sources. The SCD-1 would only be able to play CD (Redbook)through the No.39, since SACD output is analog.Check out the on-line manual po... | |

Plenty of power (200W/ch)and the speakers really shined. I only sold the amp to purchase a VAC PA100/100. You may also want to look into getting a good 2 c... | |
