RE: A new Mac in the house

Jerry thanks for the excellent information! Your comparison to the 8900a is spot on! In fact I tried the 8900a a few weeks back with the 3's and it too was a wonderful match. I kept reading about how the electronics that AR made back in the day had no issues driving the AR3/3a, that they were made to drive them, with only only 60 watts, and I decided to try the 8900a. Now mine is completely stock with no updates, so I was ready for disappointment but was quite surprised when it sounded terrific with them. And now the 1700 is doing the same.

I'm going to guess that more then a few folks had the same receivers driving their AR's back in the day.

Thank again for your comments.
