@grannyring @veroguy Your speakers may perform better at louder volumes. For example, there’s a consensus that the Scanspeak Revelator series woofers are power-hungry speakers, which means that the woofers sing their best at louder volumes than at... 
Reviewing the fabulous Silversmith Fidelium Speaker Cables

Long XLR cables - help me decide

V-Cap ODAM: What the Future Sounds Like

Best linear PSU under $1000?
