Well thanks so much for all of your responses...I've obviously touched a rather large and raw nerve. That being said, I suppose I should do some more research and trust what my ears are telling me. God forbid I should mention what I'm driving my Heresy's with for fear of a total ostracizing......lol Ok one last question Years ago I was batching with a buddy that owned a pair of Cornwall's. I of course had my Heresy's and he decided to wire them up in series on the left and on the right channels respectively. Is this a common practise? He was driving them with a phase linear amp system that to this day still blows me away,we're talking an incredible amount of headroom with this big block amp,althought I don't think we ever got it over 15 or 20 watts......... But Wow!
