Yes, I've been somewhat stuck thus far with the furniture issue, but I may try to resolve that sometime when the wife is away and hope she doesn't notice:ROFL: I can't wait to finish the garage attic for my sound room:music:

Thanks for the info. Will someday try a purpose built analog cable to see if there's any difference in sound quality, but I suspect not.

Just joining the forum - an old hat with forums, new member to ML though. I purchased my Clarity a couple years ago - and have run them via my old Pioneer Elite and currently a Marantz MM9000 multi that I'm starting to question is adequate. My preamp is a Nuforce AVP17, which has a much better...

A general question: I have high quality S/PDIF cables (Canare connectors with Synergistic bulk cable). I'm curious - is there any reason this cable would create audio quality problems if used for analog signal transfer rather than digital? I have the wires and don't need them for any other...

Thanks for the responses. I do enjoy the tonal characters of tubes, but am quite satisfied with SS power as well. For the center channel power, it just sounds better through my tube than through the Marantz - I'm guessing what is missing from the center in terms of vocals is likely missing...

I have a set of ML Clarity and have run them through a Marantz MM9000 without any problems to date, but wonder if maybe I'm not getting the full potential from them with this amp. Despite the 5 channel capabilities of the amp, I'm only using it to run the 2 ML's. I am using a Nuforce AVP-17 as...
