ICE amps vs analog amps for bass
300 damping is excellent, you will fill the room with real tone and move some air for sure vs. what you have I believe. 
ICE amps vs analog amps for bass
Damping factor... I can also agree with the fact impedance matching can cause some havoc.Interestingly everyone raves about High damping factor 1000, 2000 etc... But you can take a class A amp like a tube or solid state that has no more than 200 d...

Duelund resistors are definitely the best, the mundorfs are nice too, the mundorfs are a little more relaxed sounding than mills, but duelunds are pretty much like straight wire, very clear, very smooth and open sound, less sound stage compression.

For those interested in the comparisons.. I have now been able to try out Duelunds and the Clarity MR's in pure speaker applications head to head. On Face's recommendation as stated in some threads the Claritys are probably a better cap, mixed how...

I used the Drive rack PA... This was my solution over the Rane simply due to cost, and ease of saving the settings in the drive rack opposed to going back and forth on the rane dials.I don't know if its the answer, the Rane should be virtually as ... 
Audio advancement - why?
Let me take a shot.Music reproduction has to do with your ears and physical feeling in a room with it... Not complex number crunching storage devices, or flying an airplane. So realistically your ears today or in 1950 would have been the same. Adv...

AceboympkHmm, that is interesting I was not aware the SM 70 was the only config with the true balanced XLR from monarchy. Not that its super critical as it will still work without an adaptor if you chose the SM 100's and a standard XLR cable will ...

Well even most amps rated to 20 hz will probably play 16 hz, you are going to have a hard time getting something to support the spec of actually "16hz" this has more to do with the fact the speaker is actually efficient and tunned to play that low...

Reviews and applications are never always in line...The SM 100 is not quiet as good for really critical Audiophile needs as the SM 70's are. Don't worry about it, trust me the Monarchys are capable of the best and for your application its even sil...

Aceboympk,Its a tuff one... If you were to get the plate amps from parts express I suggest the ones that I believe have the parametric eq right on them. Its just like a 5 band or something which is really all you need and simplifies much more vs. ...

Well a few things… I owned the Crowns, and the Odysseys on this setup.. Forget the Odyssey, it is a very bad match, the high damping of the amp does not mate well with low exersion, high damped pro audio drivers at all. The crown is not half bad, ... 
Music Server with no DAC?
Because they are not a high end company, they are an IPOD fed industry which most people on the street that buy this stuff don't have a clue what the acronym "DAC" means nor do they want to know. Its a waste of time and money for them to try and s...
