    You might try connecting your speakers in series so as to increase the impedance, just to see if this changes the situation.

    Apparently wharfedale recommend amps from 20w to 100w so the Cambridge should have no problem

    Well just on the off chance I contacted Novatron Korea, designers of my preamp/server, and explained the issue,I got a simple one sentence reply, we will clear this bug via the next firmware update at the end if the month. Thanks for all your replies

    “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!”

    So it would seem Grant,a problem they must have been aware of if they're preparing a fix,it's odd the issue didn't show up whilst using my quad 306 which is why I thought it must be the Cambridge 651w, you live n learn eh

    The Quad 306 has pretty high input sensitivity. You probably didn't have the levels as high for the same volume.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
