The Future of Audio Amplification
Amp classes are like school grades. Closer to F the worse the sound.a/ab still the best.D is low level tripe 
Emotiva equipmet, how good is it?
This is why Odyssey is still the best value around. It IS symphonic line in a budget package.  It is hard to beat Klaus’s builds.top tier at a descent cost. I have a. Pair of old Stratos amps, 15+ years old, low rating at 150wpc, they sound better... 
Which Amp to complete my system?
McCormack ampsPassor as mentioned, tubes for Klipsch, they tend to be a bright speaker.  
Emotiva equipmet, how good is it?
But........I have a pair of monoblocks, if your interested, they come with a special present, contact if interested. 
Emotiva equipmet, how good is it?
Emotiva is low-mid-fi at best.not top quality, some issues, and customer service has been getting worse past couple. Years with so many breakdowns, their service dept can not handle all the bad stuff.i would skip on then, and look elsewhere. JMHO. 
Suggestion for best stereo amp ?
Sanders Magtech. Not much better than that.  
Bridged Mono
Many amps don’t allow bridged mono in 4 or 2 ohms.check your Manual, or contact the Mfgr. Bee there, and I found higher quality pro amps with support low ohm bridging. QSC ETC.

Keeping Your Krell FPB 600 On (Standby) All The Time?
FPB 600’s!congrats on a pair of extremely special amps. They are in the top tier of audio. Your lucky.enjoy them. Mine are similar and probably as good, just don’t have the name  or price tag.  Stellar equipment. !! Enjoy 
Are Pass Labs amps probably the best ever you can buy ?
Pass are superb, there is better.for less, shop around, listen and learn. I went with McCormack. —-and no turning back now. Im hooked on Steve’s house sound.  Passed up a Pass mono pair for the McCormack monos’, could not be happier, your ears wil...
