HTL- I didn't think a Panamax would work. Balanced power didn't do squat for me either.

The hiss in my rear speaker is also audible at about 4ft, ear turned towards the speaker.

I emailed Scott today to see if they'd continue to work on the problem.

I think Power and Will and now Bigmac have said, and I agree, that hiss at 4ft shouldn't be considered acceptable. And I respectfully put forth, that the 950 isn't meeting the published S/N specs in my system. So either the specs should be changed, or Outlaw should continue to work to try and lower the hiss level *for those who experience it.*

I'd sure be super curious if the Atlantic and Sherbourn uints are the same in this regard...


The relevants parts of my system: Vandersteen 2CE Signatures with a VCC Signature and a V2W sub up front;, Def Tech BP-30s with a CLR-1000B in back. 20A circuit, and a 20A Equi=Tech balanced power unit. The Def Techs are more sensitive than the Vandy's, and the hiss is worse for them. 90-92 dB or so.
