Amp for Maggies 3.6R

What's your favorite lyric from a song?

Classic Rock Fans?
I've purchased more classic rock music on CD in the last few years than anything else. Some are GH, but usually I prefer the original albums. Fleetwood Mac's "Mystery to Me", David Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust", The Who's "Who's Next?", Aerosmith's "Ge... 
The best Beatles recording on CD
I've been holding off buying the Beatle CDs in hopes there will soon be SACD hybrid remasters like the recent ones from the Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan. Has anyone heard if there are plans to do that? 
Excellent Audience Customr Service

headphone amp under $350
I haven't heard one yet, but the Perreaux SXH1 is right at the price and is supposed to work great with the HD580/600/650 headphones. 
REL sub setup
The mode switch may not actually be the input selector. It sounds like you still need to change the mode switch position when going from the hi level input source for music to the lo level input from the HT source. The advantage is you don't need ... 
REL sub setup
The cable supplied with the REL sub has three wires with the Neutrik Speakon connector for the high level input from the amp speaker binding posts to the sub. In a system with a single stereo amp, two wires connect to the + posts on the L and R ch... 
What will you be playing to celebrate?
Considering how he was "livin' large" we could use James Taylor's "Down in a Hole". 
Best Used Solid State Amp for less than $5000?
I see some McCormack DNA-2 Rev. A and LE amps for sale under $5k. 
UPS is in bed with the devil,
I feel your pain, but try to look on the bright side. They probably would have demolished the speakers had they actually shipped them to their destination. 
McCormack DNA-125/225 Upgrades
