Thanks John!!!!!!

I thought that I read that somewhere but I just couldn't remember where.

I am developing an opinion that when you notice a difference, as bug did, by driving separate amplifiers instead of the ones in your receiver, then, what you have is a "somewhat" limited/ defective receiver. This opinon assumes that either the amplifiers are NOT linear to the extent that the distortion numbers are accurate or the power supply is limited and causing problems. Considering the sound level link that Ajax posted, bug was using only a few watts per channel, at most, for his listening. Bug really should have noticed NO difference.

Any other explanations?

Comments?

Opinions?
