    Worst Flower Delivery Experience Ever

    I once used a place called flowers with a 1 800 prefix. Paid triple local prices, they delivered the day after valentines and offered me 10% off for the next year because of the late delivery. I always have good luck locally.

    NS-690's

    I intend to try it out, but might be quite a while until I do. My thinking is I might use my m60, m45 and mx800, but I am not sure how to split the output from source into 3 amps other than y cables. I probably can find a manual somewhere.

    NS-690's

    The description of like new, perfect condition was a stretch, but still very nice so I got them for a hair over half of the asking price. There are some very minor dings on a couple corners, some really light scratches on the tops, one deeper scratch on one side, and one of the mid pots has...

    Chris has a full plate of real life stuff to deal with at the moment, he can probably answer that shortly. He didn't mention anything about the relay on pm's.

    Yamaha CR 800 quick advice

    This CR800 is being used with Klipsch KM-6 speakers which are very efficient, is it possible that too much is being asked of the reciever to run those speakers at high volume?? 55 watt output, 98dB @ 1watt/1meter 8ohmspeakers? After a bunch of reading I am suspecting the popping is...

    Thank you, but the unit is in Pennsylvania, I am in Missouri and know nothing of electronics repair beyond deoxit and refoaming speakers. I am not sure of Chris' skill level. Chris?
