Which speakers have rear firing speakers and how do they sound?
I have Vandersteen 5A’s that have a rear firing rear speaker that can be turned on/off via a volume control. Clearly it sounds best off as recommended in the owners manual. With the rear speaker operating, the sound is more diffused/confused. 
PS Audio PowerPlant P20 better than pure direct AC I get during the night?

Jeff Rowland Model 1
I had one ( used it with a Rowland pre).. a little soft in the thighs.  I recommend using the balanced option.  Sounds like a good  find. 
Is ground noise really normal? If so, why?

Experience with Inakustik 3500P Power Conditioner??
Milpal.......I wasn’t talking to you. Why are you taking such an attitude. Im only talking about my system.... and encouraging all to listen carefully at what any addition/correction sounds like. All too readily, through the years of playing aroun... 
I'm looking to learn about Air Motion Transformer technology
My car audio system uses AMT's ...I guess they're smaller to fit them all in the dashboard, kickpanels, etc.  There are good and not so good in all designs.
