...anyone shuffle speakers between their music systems???...I do from time to time...today I decided to take a pair of Klipsch RB-5s that are bi-wired and bi-amped out from a system run by one of the Panasonic digital receivers set up for stereo...(SA-XR55)...
I had this system set up to try to hear the differences that bi-wiring and bi-amping might make to my listening experience...I felt like I heard the tiniest of volume bump and a bit more detail but not enough to proclaim "A New Beginning"
I recently found myself without any stereo with the ability to play my old vinyl records and was able to re-acquire a somewhat neglected Nakamichi SR-2...cleaned the pots with DeOxit (highly recommend THIS product after several false starts with other brands failing) and listened through updated (Bob Crites crossover rebuilds and Titanium tweeter diaphragms) kg2s I bought in 1987 or so...
I decided to switch the kg2s with my RB-5s...90.5 dB to 96dB efficiency and a decade between manufacture...
the RB-5s sound very clean with the Nakamichi...listening to vinyl...lots of detail...I listened to the same album with the kg2s and then the RB-5s...the RB-5s sound more detailed (despite the kgs sounding fine) and of course louder at the same volume steering because of the efficiency...
Just now listening to some Pink Floyd The Endless River and they are sounding sweet as well...I'm guessing the higher power of the Panasonic 100wpc trumps the more modest 30wpc...
