Hi Mark,
Yes, I've been losing the "cocktail party effect" --the ability to focus one's listening attention on a single talker among a cacophony of conversations and background noise--since I passed 60. ... Lucky you. I was already in trouble in my early 20s. I had no idea it was not normal to not be able to follow conversation in a loud bar. Had my first bout of ringing as a teenager, though I had no idea a the time what it was, nor did I give it much thought.

I turned 60, and I started noticing this phenomenon a few years ago. But it was during dinner get-togethers in a crowded room. With everyone talking and making noise, I have a hard time understanding anything anyone is saying. Cat, that's it exactly. When I'm in those situations, I just nod my head and smile. I have no idea what people are saying!! -Alan

Alan, I thought it funny when, at the Axiom get-together, I asked if you would like a new 40' sailboat for free. I said to you "just tell me that you'll take good care of it". You nodded but never said anything back to me.
So I gave it to someone in Kansas instead.

the sc-68 isn't a for sure thing. I'm hoping to.
I'd like a little more headroom then that amp offers though. I want to run a power amp regardless M80's are 4 ohm speakers and the SC-68 is rated for 250W of continuous power at 4 ohm so my guess is it will be more than enough. I have the SC-67 which is 230 watts continuous at 4 ohms and I don't even come close to cranking it all the way up on my M80's before its way to loud for me to listen too for more than a few minutes. Those Elite receivers have quite a bit of power.
