 StereoTimes --   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The Stentor III, like its siblings in the ST line, incorporates a system of crossover and gain controls and varied inputs which allows the user a flexibility that should suit almost any room and allow the seamless integration with almost any speakers.
Thus, theoretically, the Stentor III, which was crossed over at either 23 or 25 Hz and was being driven off the speaker terminals of the Linn amplifiers, should not have added or subtracted much of anything to the selection.
But be warned, the Stentor III is not going to be able to show its stuff (nor will you be happy) in typical subwoofer type two-channel applications where it is used to compensate for bass-challenged speakers or where it is crossed over too high so as to intrude on the main speakers.
