Help My Krell amp is too big.

What wall outlets? Furutech or Oyaide?

Testing for Dummies?
Okay, at least prior to the blow...I gots one great system. 
Testing for Dummies?
That's the 'rub' of it all. My speakers are rated at 300 watts and my amp's capacity is rated at 100 watts, although being a tube amp it can peak at much higher levels.Yes, since my speakers should have been able to handle much more power, I must ... 
Testing for Dummies?

Wow Windows Vista sounds sooo much better
If it is true that Republicans fall in line while Democrats fall in love(with or not with our candidates) then it is easy to understand why we like our Apple computers.No, really....I am pleased that Microsoft has noticed that people want to get m... 
Anyone going to see the Police?
1. I was living in Europe when this Police-thing happened and when I returned I could not understand all of the hype.2. A huge venue can only be done well by a precious few bands (Dave Mathews being one of them).3. If you really like the Police th...
