Re: I seem to recall the late Harvey Rosenberg...

If you can audition the amp before you purchase do that, I was told that the S30 would/did not like any load below 8 ohms (not even 7.9 ohms). I tried it anyway on a pair of speakers that use Eton drivers and Focal tweeters. Both drivers are a nominal 8 dropping no lower than 7 ohms. To make a long story short the amp sounded dead, as a friend said "lifeless". I wanted this amp to work in the worse way, tried several speaker cables, changed the crossover in the speaker a little. I should have listened to what was told me. Sold it and bought the M60's and have never been happier. If you are sold on the S30, you might budget for the Zero Autofomers (http://www.zeroimpedance.com/), they fool your amp into thinking that it is driving a much higher ohm rating. Just my experience, good luck............Bob
