Best sounding low power (under 80watts) Class AB amp?

@rrboogie You replaced your X250.5 with a Topping LA90? Are you an EE by chance?

@mlsstl @ditusa so we’re on the same page here is an example of my understanding of a chassis mounted RCA.

@mlsstl @ditusa

Here is example of a 'non-chassis mounted RCA' on this Hegel similar to what I see on the Aegir/Aegir

+3 AGD

The new stereo Tempo is almost the same as the upper line Audions for a bit over $5K. The cream of GaN amps. And light weight. Shouldn’t discount all Class D.

Just looked at my Aegir and the RCA inputs seem very solid to me. Not sure what your problem is with this unless you plan on plugging/unplugging the amp dozens of times a day.  Or bashing the back of the amp, in which case the speaker connections of just about any amp are far more at risk than the RCA inputs.

But, we all have our own quirks. Hope you find something that works.
