Hi Nicolas,

Since the new unit is more powerful than the old Becker job, I simply disregarded two of its four power outputs. Connecting only two has been just fine. The trouble is that even with half the power pumping out, and on half volume (a little above normal listening level), the original front speakers begin the crack… From there on it becomes unbearable!

Apart from possibly detracting from the sound quality, did they say why it was bad to let the switch divide up the wattage?

Also, is leaving the switch to govern only two of the four speakers a good idea? I had a feeling it ought to govern all or none... something to do with resistance etc.. but my physics is nothing short of dangerous!

Thanks for your response!

David
