Have I mismatched my preamp/amp?
Pubul57,Nelson Pass technically is everywhere. His patents are in vast majority of the solid state commercial and home amplifiers. He's like King David and we're all related to him. Anybody who starts building electronic circuits or studies an amp... 
how much power
Charles1dad,By all means low-wattage amp can't reproduce real volumes of let's say acoustic upright bass even in the small room. High-efficiency low-wattage friendly speakers can't have sufficient bottom-end performance and lower efficiency full r...
