at 106 dB...

But not these.

99dB speakers (100dB before you add a crossover) sitting close together against the BACK WALL of a LARGE room...

With a Flat Screen TV in between them. :-(

These same amps in a smaller room with these same exact speakers were GREAT sounding at RMAF 2007 and 2008.

  With all of the attention in the room given to cable lifters, and an Anti-static CD "pulverizer" and mostly very poor music choices, I am trying to figure out what this guy was thinking. If the speakers were too close together, moving them around would have been more productive than all the fidgeting he did with the cable lifters.

  I still think his speakers were the weak link. Those Altec 604s in those huge boxes were Slow and lumbering. They rumbled like a distant thunderstorm and pretty much 'clouded' over any high frequency detail from any following notes.

    But as I said, that same system had sounded better a couple years ago.
    
    Same exact speakers, IIRC.

  God help us if Dennis starts getting into video! Just think a Serious Stereo 4x1 passive HDMI swither with really, really, high transfer efficiency for video!

    computerized vinyl transfers, or something like that.
    
    It was an OK sounding room, but nothing like 2007 or 2008.
