    HI Roy,
    Each of the players eg cd/md/ipod/etc outputs are hooked up through stacked phono/audio leads to the inputs on the amps except the technics sl-1210mk5 turntable which is hooked up to 1 amp the technics su-a40 power control amp.
    Two amps have pre out and each are hooked up to the A800mk2 and A900mk2 amps. Well there are 4 amps and each amp runs 1 set of speakers so ohms are at 4, and higher watt output I think. No bi-wire or bi-amp in my system.
    One more thing I NOT an expert on ohms or watts, but I have a lot of hi-fi's and stereos over the years. I have loads of Panasonic portable stereos from the 90's a rx-dt55, rx-dt75, rx-dt707 and love collecting them.
    cheers Sean.

    The next time Mrs B pipes up over anything to do with my system I'll show her this pic.

    Not my cup of tea but one day I might just replace the stereo with my band's pa system to see her reaction when she comes home from work.
    One of these days... I'm going to cut you into little pieces.

    Sean, I have to ask: do you live out in the country or are your neighbors already deaf?

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
