For the record, I'm a believer. The SA-XRxx come out-of-the-box configured for a multichannel setup, but that's easily changed to a simple stereo setup--and yes, the unused channels can be used for either bi-amping/bi-wiring (snake oil), or dual amping (not snake oil). It's better than the T-amp IMO--my belief is that the only reason the T-amp gets any attention at all is that they eschew multichannel. It's also better than the considerably more expensive Denon stereo amp it replaced in my house. It is also barely warm to the touch, which constantly amazes me. A word of warning though: if you enjoy your music warmed up a bit, or colored with a tube amp, or your speakers are overbright, this amp is probably not for you. It sounds very flat and cold and accurate to my ears, which could be interpreted as bright when compared to your typical amp, which is somewhat warm. -- CatBus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CatBus's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7461 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24701 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
