@thoft Is that an intergated amp? Does it only have RCA outputs?

^i’m happy that you found the source of the problem so quickly. Perhaps sending both drivers to Rob so that they can be properly calibrated and matched might be prudent.

@yyzsantabarbara, There are a multiple number of causes that might be responsible for this anomaly (including room). I’d suggest reversing components (speakers and cables) and channels from one channel to the other starting from the end (speakers)...

@yyzsantabarbara, The latest Krell’s unlike most of the earlier Dan D’Agostino era separates models are no longer spec’d into 2 Ohms. The newest Krell’s like the original models have returned to forced fan cooling. Something I personally don’t car... 
Cogan Hall, please shed some light
I hated working with them. 
Cogan Hall, please shed some light
It’s been a while, but I seem to remember that different models were determined by the number of conductors or tubes. Because of their construction they can’t be bent or curved more than the diameter of a tennis ball. I found them to be nearly imp... 
What's happening with Exogal?
@exogal_ceo, Your candor is refreshing. Best of luck to you all.

^Explanations, examples?

@thieliste, Depending on the specific models of course, I think the Krells are closer to the Gryphons than the Brystons. On the used market here in the US one could can get Krell separates that perform closer to the Gryphon separates for less than...

@Jafant, sure an amp that doubles down from 8 to 4 Ohms is satisfactory enough for a speaker that operates within that load. For a speaker that operates below that, it’s a matter of physics and the necessary electrical engineering to navigate it. ...

@yyzsantabarbara , see tomthiel's recent comments on this very subject.

I was not specifically pointing at the Benchmark. The Benchmark's are a somewhat unique, but perhaps not enough to be a clear exception. Most amps when bridged into mono don't like working into lower impedances. Benchmark does sort of dance around... 
My Oppo is a bit too bright
I get the impression that some feel that an external DAC is automatically better than a the one in a self contained player. While this might be true in some circumstances, I don't think it necessarily so in all circumstances. There can be some tec...

Well, another thread just seemed to disappear, after a poster made an appeal to other posters to complain. No rule was cited as being broken, or reason why was  given, despite being specifically asked for. It would appear to be an objection to the...

@xyzsantabarbara, Yes, for a small room you can get away with less power. But, it’s at 2 Ohms where you need it. The 3.7’s don’t just visit that impedance, that’s where they live. What you don’t need is massive amounts of power at 8 Ohms; they don...
