Hehehehe, no... the 300 is a stereo amp, and the 250a is also a stereo amp. the 300 is 600W @ 4ohms, and the 250a is 500W @ 4 ohms.... 1,100W to the LFR's should be more than sufficient.... the 300 will power the front drivers and the 250a will power the rear drivers. Both amps have the Exact same gain, 26.4DBW, which was why i got the 300CX and i got a fairly good deal on it (used).

cool. I wish I could be there. Personal favor, please watch the blu ray close encounters of the third kind, even if you only watch the ending. let me know what it's like when the mother ship rolls in.

I think the Krell IS the mothership.

Ooops, it's copper, not brass!www.b-p-t.com I have to get a new battery for my camera.

Chris gave me a good deal,233.00 with surge protection.

I'll see if the local video rental store has a copy this evening.



So, what are you going to plug into your extra outlet?

dakkon,

I was thinking of plugging all my amps into the PPC, which is a total of six. I also have the PR-MC5500 which I bought with the Onkyo prepro 5508 (9.2) for the surrounds.

I called the local movie rental place, and they do not have close encounters of the third kind on blu ray....



What is the current rating for the power strip/breaker that the outlet strip is going to be plugged into? You don't want to overload the strip/breaker....

I am already at the point that i have tripped the breaker the HT is on 2 times now... So i know i need to get more power to the HT equipment.. Mainly the amps... I am not one who believes in segregating power for no reason(i guess i am not an "audiophile"). I believe that as long as i am operating within the limits of my equipment then I'm good... However, since i am tripping breakers; i think i will get a couple of dedicated outlets installed, each on their own 20a breaker... I will also get a "whole house surge supressor" put in as well.

That's what the PPC is built for.(mono blocks) I haven't had an issue yet. I am currently running everything through the Panamax(minus three mono's) so hopefully it will be alright.

Today i have had the time listen to some two channel music in stereo... All i can saw is WoW...and holy cow...
I have been listening to these two Cd's..This one ,which was recommended by Johnk, and this one which was recommended by FrankeeD.


Until now i have been of the opinion that solid state amps pretty much all sound the same... Well, i think i have changed my mind about that.... With the 300 in the system, it sounds AMAZING... i think it is much better than when the 250a was powering the M60's... The 300 is the 3rd amp that has powered my M60's, i started with a Marantz MM9000 which i liked and still use in my bed room system. Then i went to the 250a, the 250a had a considerable amount more power than the Marantz amp did, but i did not really notice any difference in the "sound". Now that the 300 is powering the 60's, they do "sound" different in a way. The 300 is capable of producing WAY more power than the 60's would ever need. However, i think the design of the 300 allows it to be more transparent, the power supply is fully balanced as well as both channels of amplification, i am also using XLR interconnects. I think it is an intangible quality that audio reviewers attempt to describe with fancy words. I am going to just leave it at, i think my M60's sound smoother and the most natural that my they have ever sounded.

Also, the Dual 600's, with the CD that John recommended, are able to make several of the photos on the wall rattle; i will need to get rubber dots for many of the frames now.....

I am very happy with my recent additions to the HT/stereo set up... If the LFR's make as big of a difference as my most recent upgrades, i will be quite happy and will attempt to find a job that will allow me to work from home .......

dakkon,

I'm glad your thrill meter is going up, with the purchase of that new toy. When you get those new speakers, I figure that meter will be close to being pegged. I hope your local news station isn't getting their barometric pressure reading for their weather forecast anywhere near where you live though.For sure that reading will have them scratching their heads like jakewash.
