| Amp Upgrade In general, too little power is more likely to cause damage than too much, since you will more likely drive the amp into clipping, which will damage the speakers, than overdrive the speakers, unless you listen at insane volume levels. . | |
| help hooking up electrostatics 2 sets at a time Running two sets of speakers in parallel will halve the impedence. Therefore the amp will "see" 1.75 ohms. check with Rowland and see if the amp is stable into that low a load. If you are not using them in the same room, why not use a speaker sele... | |

| tube preamp question BAT VK3i w/remote would be right in your price bracket. | |
| Cd Player drive 2 preamps? you could use a Y cable to do it. It will work, not sure about degradation. Unless the pre-amps are identical there will be variation in sound. Are you doing this as a way to avoid an active crossover to level match the two amps? | |
