I tend to agree with you Brian. I had Silvaweld OTLs on my Acoustats and the sound was absolutely superb (but the room became a Sauna). Eventually, I couldn't live with the heat.In learning about IIM distortion, first proposed by Otala in the late 70s, I think the combination of the Halcros with a highly reactive speaker like a soundlab is a bad idea. IIM distortion is when the Back EMF of a speaker is reamplified by the partnering amp. This can happen if he feedback is high and thus giving a pathway for the back EMF to circle back around to the input as part of the normal feedback signal. Only now, its not a normal feedback signal anymore as it is blended with this back EMF.
This is for sure happening with the Halcro/majestic combination as the Halcro uses tons of feedback and the Majestic is basically a big capacitor that will kick nearly everything back to the amp.
