Something Big This Way Comes

Couldn't do it... I'm sticking with the old, get off the couch to change the volume or source Marantz. The JC-2BP is quieter, more spacious, better at resolving detail etc... but there is something strangely appealing about the Marantz... and it's paid for. Without balanced outs... I guess the long leads required to stick these amps downstairs might not work out. Widget

Perhaps if you put them on a shelf near the ceiling, directly under your existing equipment rack, the cables might not be too long (six feet, maybe). If you do that, to keep hum under control you'd also want to run AC power down to them from your rack so they share the same AC ground as the preamp.

I ran across this quote and wondered if that was also Mr. W's experience ?

No... not lean. They are not the most room friendly speakers and in my room there is a bump around 100Hz that I'd like to tame, but the bass is ample and deep enough for most music.
