| Buy new amp or new speakers for more power A good sub will provide the heft you are looking for and take the load off of the amp you now own, just another option to think about.Dave | |
| Tube Research Labs multi channel preamp $25,000 is a lot of money. I wonder how many will sell in a somewhat small multichannel crowd. Brave company for the Brave buyer.Dave | |

| Center or Phantom Center????? HbrandtI did the same test a while back after reading all the posts from people that stated no center was fine for them. In the end...It may be fine for them but it was not for me. I gave it a week before I put my center back in the system.Dave | |
