Thank you very much. Clear and concise, and understandable . I mistakenly believed the single binding posts indicated a single channel but the channels are left and right , correct ? I think I'm good to go on parallel wiring the 15's to the 260's as the M10 has a bridge mode which my son believes serves keep the unit at 8ohm when utilized in order to facilitate Daisy chains from the single binding posts , but perhaps he is mistaken. I was expecting your answers regarding the SW , no big deal there. I have the right side wired from the Maranzt now and can definitely live with the same arrangement from the M10. Once I get the 260's in and have Daisy chained the 15's , I'll dedicate the right side from the Maranzt's "B" posts . If I can't notice a improvement in my sports viewing, all I watch ( the TV is wired by Optical to the Maranzt ) , I'll set it aside until I decide whether the M10 is my best option. Ive studied The Maranzt M8006 as well , but obviously I'm a novice. Thanks again !
PS. Haven't read the second reply yet . Hope it's as enlightening as the first.
