Why are they doing this?
The connection of the REL Neutrik connector should not present a difficult load to the amp. It is a 150k input, it should not cause the amp to clip. The emo guy does not know what the hell he is talking about. If it is a fully balanced differentia... 
Using small stereo speakers with a subwoofer
I have always had a tough time in my room with towers with respect to room modes and boomy response. That said the last few speakers have been monitors with good bass response run full range along with a sub that rolls off around 60hz with a cross... 
Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase
who me????? never...... actually she doesn't care, our (my) rule has always been that I do not use our paychecks to finance my hobbies. I do work on the side, buy and sell stuff and basically wheel and deal to fund my and my son's hobbies. Last ye... 
Small Monitors and Book shelves for Rock Music?
One of the best small speakers I've had were PSB M2 Platinums. Great speaker for rock along with a good sub it is one compact system that performs like a big system.I have since replaced them with a pair of Revel M106 which sound phenomenal, they ... 
Replace Amp or Preamp?
I agree, I had a McIntosh c15 which was decent but then I paired a McCormack RLD 1 with my McCormack DNA 125 and it was night and day.Fast forward five years....I wanted to upgrade and couldn't decide where to start. I had used the DNA 125 with a ... 
Why Don't More People Love Audio?
you can thank iPods and Sonos..... Personally I would rather drive a crappy car and have a killer 2 ch system. In fact I drove many crappy cars for the past 30 years..... my current preamp actually cost more than several cars I have owned. Today's... 
studio/nearfield/bookshelve monitor or speaker
Revel M105s would be ideal in that room Just a little more than your budget.... 
Best blues guitarist, Clapton or Green
Joe Bonamassa is the best guitarist out there right now in my opinion......watch him play with Clapton in his Albert Hall BluRay and tell me who's better, him or Clapton.......

I just picked up a pair of 2's.....does anyone have a copy of the manual? 
Remote volume control = unacceptable compromise?
I had a McCormack RLD 1 (it replaced a McIntosh c15,also remote), it had everything you could want. Remote volume, balance, source, mute, power, HT loop, but as good as it was it is not in the same league as my Conrad-Johnson Classic 2SE. It is th... 
Best bargain find ever ?
I went to an estate sale and bought a complete house full o audio design associates gear. It was probably $30k when new a few years ago. I took everything, even the keypads out of the walls plus the controller and several amps. I kept an amp and s... 
Your First Concert was.....
The Kinks in 1983 at the Boston Garden 
Parsound ZDAC kind of blowing my mind...
It's always nice when you stumble upon "giant killer" components.....when you are up long hours playing material that you haven't heard in a while and now it sounds brand new, better than ever....then you know your money was well spent. 
Oh My what to do?
I have owned a few pairs of PSB and thought they were excellent speakers for the money. Lenbrook owns PSB and NAD and have excellent customer service and will be there down the road.... 
Preamp with tone controls?
Three of my last four preamps have not had tone controls. The one that did was a McIntosh C15 and I never used them. Although I do need EQ, I have a nasty room mode at 40Hz. This is part of the reason I run stand mounted monitors and a sub. I find...
