| finding the right speaker? I had 2ce's for many years, and I moved on to Odyssey Kismet reference speakers at 3200.00 a pair. Best investment I ever made. You get the bass of the vandersteens, but a little more detailed treble that is non-fatigueing. | |

| Help? Possible problem with my McCormack dna-125. My guess is that you are clipping the amp and its protection circuitry shuts the amp down to prevent it from getting damaged. Is the sound ear bleeding loud when this happens? | |
