My audio system has become detrimental to my health, as all I want to do is sit on my rear end and listen to music the whole day through. My audio system is relatively simplified compared to others. My listening room, although smallish, is large enough for the speakers to open up just beautifully at all volume levels. That's because the tremble and bass outputs on the Salons are adjustable and can be toned-down to accommodate smaller rooms. The Salons are also down-firing, which allows for closer to the back wall room placement. For my sized room, the extremely powerful and superb sounding Hegel H590 integrated amp does an excellent job of driving my relatively inefficient speakers. Yes, I'm in Heaven, as my audio system is capable of transporting me to another musical dimension, LOl. Happy Listening.
@ mitchellman Over the years, I've done extensive experimentation with plugging my amps directly into the wall, or, directly into a power conditioner. Long story short---I always plug my amps directly into a power conditioners. You just have to make sure you're plugging your amp directly into the right power conditioner. Happy listening.
