Bose Chucks Mac

Up enough that one can't stay in the space without muffs ...🤦‍♂️👍 Sounds better at levels that make for sense and sanity. ;) Everything all at once is doable here. Enough that I get concerned about how warm wires are being wrought. Anything tha... 
Moving to separates
If motivated, one can opt for a distribution amp with 6x 2chan. after your pre. Since some can either run off it's buss line and have a different source for one or more. Buss line to a separate amp or receiver line in. Put anything you want in ...

If you've no feedback after 3 weeks, I'd go take possession of the boxed units and shop the suggestions posted above.  If they accepted any $'s for shipping, I'd park self in whatever store they're in or still coming out of until I got that check.... 
Upcoming Trip
Buy a couple different ones on Amazon and keep what you like. Cheers , Mike B.  If you've got the time to test drive more than one pair, I'd Amazon at least 3. 'Bracket' by cost and the suggestions above, since it's the only way you can simula...

Vinyl sounds better (shots fired)
@grislybutter Fav of mine is the Yes from the 'hipsters/movies' box.... Obviously delusional.....not to be tempted to own Anything dragging miniscule rocks in plastic grooves that aren't even straight.... (Pardon me while I light this blunt with...

@bigtwin ...I find prog trance nice to put on and putter about with....no vocals, just 'tone poems' of a sort....."a slave to the rhythm.....", as it is...*S* @hilde45 ... Yes, a forum on bargain basement buys on 'oldies but goodies' is a capital...

Why do tube amps often subjectively sound more powerful than SS ?
@mapman suggested a spl session, which I second.  You phones ought to have one as a matter of course imho....  Quit guessing how loud is loud.... ;) Having grown up ( years-wise, anyway ) with tubes, I kinda developed a recalcitrance to rolling a...
