I agree with Art about the specifications...... I bridge two Lux M-117's. The manual states: Stereo 200wpc into 8ohms @ 0.003% THD and BTL Bridged 700wpc into 8ohms @ 0.006% THD I have gone back and forth, back and forth many times. I can not hear any increase in distortion, let alone double. I have done this for a few forum members and my painfully critical golden-ear wife. (If I change a tube, she asks "what is different"?) What I do hear is exceptional LF control. The mid's and

[quote user="Groomlakearea51"] [quote user="Islander"] [quote user="maxg"] The issue is that when you have a shot of the whole stage and someone is singing far right, for example, the image of the singer is to the edge of the TV - but the sound is another 3 feet right of him/her. I find that to be quite disorientating.[/quote] That's why some AV experts recommend placing the main speakers fairly close to the TV, so that the width of the soundstage approximates the

[quote user="Invidiosulus"] My wife doesn't mind me listening at loud volumes. It means she can hear while she's in the kitchen. [/quote] Same here. She doesn't mind loud volumes as well. My wife likes to hear music over the chain saw when she is outside cutting firewood. tc

[quote user="jhoak"] My son stopped by the house this afternoon for his usual Saturday afternoon "I need some $$"... err... Chat... While talking to him I mentioned that I'd come to a decison about some changes to the living room 5.1 system versus the 2 channel system. Very much in passing I said "yea.. I'll be posting the Heresys on Craigslist soon. He perks up a bit and tells me that one of his coworkers is looking for a nice pair of Heresys. He calls him and about

[quote user="greg928gts"] Early on in my business dealings, I was laughed at and ridiculed for suggesting that my customers NOT build their house underground. I suggested building above ground on a monolithic insulated slab foundation, and I've built over 75 homes on this type of foundation here in Maine over the last 20 years. I hardly ever get laughed at these days, I guess attitudes have changed. I feel bad for people dealing with leaky basements, water is a very tricky thing to

Colin, Great stuff from you as always. I had the opportunity to listen to the Palladiums A/B with a K402/Jubilee. I find it unfair to compare two speakers with such dissimilar footprints, but I was pleasantly surprised with the Palladium. The designers did their homework on the LF for sure. All of the typical reflex bloom/boom was under control and very polite at volume. The little Trax mid horn was very nice. Good WAF. (if she has money) tc
