BlueJays1 connoisseur Registered: 09/19/08 Posts: 3984 Loc: Porch,enjoying Bombay Sapphire	For my last entry it is a combination of the first two but adding its efficiency rating which I think is such a selling point. CD90/PWM90-1000/1250/1500 The most efficient and powerful amplifier in home audio. I have to say though Pulse Width/Wave Modulator and Linear Field Radiating in the same sentence is so badass. _________________________ I’m armed and I’m drinking.

tomtuttle axiomite Registered: 06/20/03 Posts: 7652 Loc: Tacoma	DPA1000, DPA1250, etc. Digital Power Amp. I know Ben already mentioned PA, but not everyone will know that it doesn't stand for "Power Amp" but for "Pine Acre". I've always thought "Muskoka" is powerful and meaningful. _________________________ We are a whole community of "that guy" - StPatGuy
