I'm a big believer in the having power reserves to accurately deliver transients; its what makes music 'real' to me..


Yes, I forgot to mention that in this type of setup you must remove the gold strap jumpers on the speaker terminals. Or else you would probably be shopping for new amps. There is no need for an external crossover. Its essentially the same as the bridged configuration only... different.

When I had the NAD I never thought that the amp seemed strained while driving the M80's at loud levels but once I had gotten my monoblocks (also Odyssey's) It was clear that it sounded stressed on certain passages where the mono's didnt at all, So I definetly know what you mean about having the extra power.
