    A/V Receiver Impedance Selector Switch

    No, that's essentially wrong. The 4 ohm setting severely limits power and thus current into 4 ohms. The receiver isn't tripping in the low impedance settings bc it never delivers enough power to the load due to limiting it in that setting. You can read every review I've done with measurements on...

    Bose acquires Mcintosh

    Autoformers in the output stages in this day and age are silly.

    Bose acquires Mcintosh

    McIntosh speakers have been trash for decades. Maybe Bose can help them engineer better ones? In all honesty, I think this is a move to solidify their top tier positions in Magnolia showrooms and also regain ground lost in car audio since Mcintosh and Sonus Faber are not players in the space.

    What Makes a Good Audiophile YouTube.com Video?

    That's challenging for most and tbh, to capture a general audience, they don't really care for all the technical stuff. Just look at Andrew Robinson videos. He has the highest views and the least technical presentations. I admire his production quality and ability to grow his channel.
