My toro11 mono's have arrived and are sitting on my shelves idling away, looking beautiful :)

At my age i don;t often say this but "Hurry up tommorrow!"

I am afraid that the original poster has reached Nirvana and will probably not follow up on this thread.

No doubts about that! Maybe he'll post some pics?

first impressions were that the sound was beautiful but a little under-done in the slam department; i’m coming from 500watt “D” class amps, so to be expected.

but as i turn up the preamp a little bit more each time i listen, more is being revealed and more slam.

my pre-amp puts out 8 volts max and i am currently running it at just under 6 volts.

every time i get some new hifi i am amazed at the new things i hear; same with your amps.

i’ve played some cd’s over a hundred times and you would think there was nothing more to reveal, but there is.

it has been over 30c here for weeks on end so the air-con has been getting a run to keep the room cool when the amps are running.

i checked with wilson audio and they suggest based on ARC advice that 8ohms would be the best speaker terminal, so i am running everything according to hoyle at the moment.
