    Neat Troy... Happy mono-blocking this weekend. Will look forward to a report on the 400's and their impact.
    More later,

    I've spent the last few days with the m400a's bridged in the cave and here are my findings so far....

    It has REALLY flushed out the midrange and vocals especially on more complex pieces. Vocals now seem to be on the same plane as every thing else. BIG IMPROVEMENT! I still think that they aren't as good as the DQ-10's in that department but they are in the same area code now.

    Bass. The bass is significantly tighter and more controlled. With the m1.5t, on bass heavy tracks, the bass could get sloppy a wee bit. Nothing major but I've noticed on a couple of tracks.

    So, again, more wattage in the cottage is yielding positive results. Now I got to bag a couple of m4.0's and see what 1000 wpc will do.
