The two amplifiers you have are overkill - you don't
need to biamp...

What is the basis for this comment? There is no such
thing as an amp that is too big (watts per channel).

If you really believed this Powell, you'd 5 KW per
channel amps, wall-to-wall. So, do you?

11.6 Is this amplifier too big for that set of speakers?

Small amplifiers are more likely to damage speakers
than large ones, because small amplifiers are more
likely to clip than larger ones, at the same listening
level. I have never heard of speakers being damaged
by an overly large amplifier.

This has been debunked any number of times, including
AES papers that I've cited here many times.

Hehehe... sure, whatever you say, mr. Empty Pockets.

Are you suggesting that my pockets are less full than yours because
I've spend more on audio gear? Might be true.

Let's compare microphone closets and mic preamp collections...

Gee Arny, why don't you just go for the sure win and challenge Powell
to an obsolete sound card collection contest?

Because it would be even more like taking candy from a child. Sort of like
beating you in court without raising a finger...
