Bi-amping Pass X.5 matches X.8 / XA.8 / X.5 / XA.5
Believer,I can't really explain what the sound differences are because the results vary so much. Basically, it sounds like the speakers get broken up into different sounding sections. But, like I said, the results vary so much, the sound is comple...

Bi-amping Pass X.5 matches X.8 / XA.8 / X.5 / XA.5

wadia 170 i transport- need help
No, because no Rotel CD player that I know of has a digital input. If you have a CD player that does, then you should be able to do so as long as the dac is compatable with whatever format the Wadia is sending out. Also, I think the 170i does have...

Schubert,As always, the only thing I have for you is respect. But with regards to your last post, I don't know where you are getting your information from. First of all, Wall Street isn't a commodities market, but even if it were, I'm not sure tha...
