Guys - All the questions are good ones. The GTG portion of the plans for 2015 will be open for a lot of suggestions. If, for example, 12 guys "sign up" to attend and they want to have a serious, level matched blind test, we would look into switchers that work at the pre-amp stage rather than a speaker switcher, if at all possible.
So PLEASE ... keep asking questions, and rest assured that none of these questions are in the least bit "bothersome".
I will be opening a thread on Home Theater Shack after the Marantz arrives, featuring the Martin Logan ESL Hybrids. When the M-100's arrive, they will get the next round of listening.
Thanks to Ajax for teaching me copy/paste in 2005, so any of my blatherings on HTS can be reposted here.
