good choice to go back to frank v a

he is one of the best designers in the business... also a totally honorable, pragmatic, no nonsense, ’i spend your money like i spend my own money’ kind of person

an absolute prince and an example that many in the industry should follow

very nice to hear. thank you.

+1 re the Wyred 4 Sound ST-500 class D amp. When I got my first ever passive monitors for the desktop system (ATC SCM12 Pro’s) I needed an amp, and it had to run cool & fit on the crowded desktop. Took a chance on a nice, used ST-500, and from 1st hook-up that combo proved sonically ideal.

The ATCs have great authority in all frequencies for a 2-way and might sound a bit relentless with a bright amp. I'll never know, because this is definitely not a bright amp...like that ATCs, it has great authority from the upper bass on down. When I crank the, the sound is rather amazing. And when I listen at low volume, I actually get solid bass (few speakers will do that). 

I asked W4S if it was OK to stand the ST-500 on its side, and they said NP, it runs so cool it barely needs airflow. That’s what I did, and it works exactly as advertised...

I would look for an older Classe amp, there are plenty on this forum. The older Classe amp were made for Maggie's.  I use Classe CAM350's with my 20.1's...
