Class A Amp
Gryphon antileon signature will put around 500 watts of class A power into a 2.8ohm load. Pass xa 200.5 will put 400 class A into 4 ohm or lower loads and the 160.5 320 watts class A into 4 ohm or lower loads. Heavy, hot and expensive all. Only yo... 
Two Subwoofers... Comb Effect
Thanks for the thoughtful answer Duke. Your posts are always well resoned. Reguarding your 1/2 wavelength remark I agree that you need to compensate for second order crossovers by inverting phase( 180 degrees available on most subs). Once you have... 
Verity Parsifal or Magico V3 or Wilson Benesch ACT

Coleman Hawkins encounters Ben Webster long
Thank you audiophile 1 for mentioning Dexter Gordon. I agree 100%. I have all of the above. One terribly underated album of his is " Doin allright" Check out the track " I was doin allright" The way he can really swing old school but really dig in...
