Need preamp between PC and stereo
Update: the input level looks right, but could the output overpower the stereo line level input? 
NOS DAC
I noticed the same thing. It started yesterday. 
One speaker louder
Is there tone generating software that I can use to listen to high frequencies of both speakers? 
One speaker louder
I swapped them, but no difference. You can tell they are the same speaker, but one has an airy quality, the other is more mellow.

I swapped them, but there is a real difference. You can still tell they are the same speaker, but one is quieter and less open. 
speakers for classical music
If SF uses a simple crossover and VA uses a complex one, you might conclude that the SF puts more into their drivers, for the same price range. I keep reading about SF driver quality.

No one mentioned Sonus Faber. I found that they were very holographic compared to the VA Haydns and seemed to do better with less power. IMHO 
Hum from speakers using splitter
Is the hum DC getting into the speakers and is it ever harmful? 
MF 3.5 and Outlaw 2150
SF Concertino. I suspect that they probably go best with MF. BTW, is does the MF 3.2 have separate power transformers, or just separate amplifiers? 
Denon amp
ADD: I suspect it's Class AB, but the box states A. 
Class A, AB
Thanks. Please ignore my newer post on the subject. 
Concertino and Opera Mezzos
When speakers are more dynamic, what is the trade off? 
Best PCI sound card for less than $80
Try a Creative Labs card. If you want to spend a little more try an EMU card. This one looks good. http://us.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=1&subcategory=208&product=16770 
B&W speakers and SF lower end
I plan to get an Outlaw RR2150 to use with them. I still not sure of that being a good match.
