Sounds like you put the kid in his place, Tom!! Congrats on a job well done <vbg>. <snip> Of course, I use it with Klipsch speakers, which are very efficient. Don't forget, speaker efficiency is a huge part of the equation when it comes to how loud a stereo can get, and how much work the amp has to do before it starts to sound strained. ---I started with Boston Acoustics (that are now in the bedroom), but my main speakers are KG 3.5 which I enjoy. Very efficient indeed. I bought them used from an audio/video store. I was introduced to Klipsch in El Paso, Texas - and they were the Horns. Awesome!!! Finally, the volume control. I apologize for the following Tom, but I always laugh when people try to impress me with how good or loud their stereo is, by saying, "I turn the knob up to 3, and it blasts the windows out of the walls! I've never had it above 4, it's so loud". ---The first amplifier I ever bought was a Sony. Still have it downstairs in my 'basement'. One thing I really liked about it was the fact that the volume control was labeled attenuation and went from infinity to 0. I do not recall what is the maximum I have used... Okay, it is the engineer in me coming out. I even took off the cover once I got home to look at the excellent wiring job they did... Am I in a contrary mood today, or what? What's that all about? <vbg> cheers, frank Looks like we will have a lot to talk about when we hit GFMtn, Cesar Panama City, Florida
