Re: Do a search!!!

I made a resolution to not reply to posters clearly needing medication, especially those crusading for an empty cause, but it looks like I'll break that one too, but only if you promise to settle down a bit, take a few deep breaths and go pet a puppy....ok then.

Speakers in question are full range Von Schweikert VR3's with upgrades, 87dB, 6ohm nominal, played at my desired, LOUD listening levels in a 24x18x12 room. The Panny quits in my setup. It compresses and clips at moderate levels, dies at a level that the HCA-2, eVo2 and countless other amps I have owned didn't even flinch at, just swelled with power. I'm a power junky and a bass head, very demanding music the bulk of what I listen to. PC used was the same for both, either a PS Audio Lab, a DIY or a stock Rubber 14ga cable. I try not to make fun of the "magic cable" theorists anymore, but must say I'm pretty unamused by all the "add this magic _______(fill in the blank with 'tube,' 'cable,' 'isolation device' 'etc.' and then all will be perfect" posts, they don't phase me at all--Too much experience to the contrary for that BS.

See the review I posted on the PS Audio amp or the Marantz DV8400 to see what my system and musical tastes consist of, both of which are readily available to you, although my system is constantly changing and propably not the same as listed in the reviews.... If that doesn't answer your questions, shoot away. The reason that I didn't write a full review of the Panny is that I don't feel it to be worth my time for the many reasons stated originally, just as I'm feeling it wasn't worth my time to post to this thread at all right now....

PS. I hadn't "answered" sooner because, frankly, I couldn't decipher what the heck was in your previous post, and I'm still not sure that I understood the above post very well, either, so, by all means, please keep helping Fiddler and myself with our "reading" skills....
