stupid sacd question

Magnepan 3.6r's - are they to much for my room?
Give it a shot with the classe and see what happens but DO NOT bypass the fuses until you have used the speakers for a while to make sure you don't blow a ribbon, also if you are not pleased with the bass output of the speakers you'll just need a ... 
Magnepan 3.6r's - are they to much for my room?
I think they would work, but not be optimal. My room is a compromise of sorts and my 3.6's sound amazing- so don't let that scare you away.. The biggest problem I think you may have would be with your amp- you may need more power to get good bass ...

What's your favorite lyric from a song?
shorter of breath- and one step closer to death.No need to go on with that piece it speaks for itself. I am not a HUGE Floyd fan, but I do enjoy there glum/witty lyrics. 
Talkin' bout YOUR generation...

Hey Matt! How's it going? Review, I am one step ahead(for once in my life) check it out. Worth the upgrade if you can swing it to say the least. I would love to make it to Montreal this year, however I am swamped with TONS of work on all fronts so...

They were due out a while ago and they are just now getting to the mastering! Well I am in no rush, but I am looking forward to listening to this series of discs when they come out. You are lucky indeed to be part of this project :o) 
Anyone reterminated a Valhalla?
They used to reterminate the Valhalla's but what a lot of people were doing was buying real long cables and having them reterminated into many smaller runs. Selling the left overs and usually making money and flooding the market with used valhalla...
