What amps are out there that are Class A, 50 wpc into 8 ohms?
Any version of the Aragon Palladium mono blocks will exceed 100 watts Class A power. The newer Iridium mono does not have a class A rating, but idle draw is 120 watts per mono block. It is probably safe to say that it is over 50 watts of Class A p... 
More Bass
Welp, there’s a number of published measurements showing this to be optimistic. As I noted elsehwere, I’ve found a couple of different models shown to be around 2 Ohms for most of the bass. This includes the SE and 20/20. Perhaps I’m misinterpret... 
Legacy Audio Focus XD - Gain Matching Issue between the internal and external amp?
@fthompson251  I misunderstood what you were asking. Purchasing the XD and bypassing the internal amp would certainly seem to defeat the purpose. The only other difference would be that the Focus SE and XD use different midbass drivers.   
Legacy Audio Focus XD - Gain Matching Issue between the internal and external amp?
@fthompson251  The Focus SE is a passive speaker. The XD is powered with multiple connection options. Their website has the specifics of each.

Before you consider changing anything in the crossover, decide if you like them the way they sound. The crossovers are simple looking because they were first order and will have a minimum number of parts. Messing with the crossover could make matt... 
All New Monitor Audio Concept-50 Time-Aligned Loudspeakers : Major-Breakthrough ?!
Don't mention the 2 companies in the same breath. Really. Thanks Karen! But I will mention what I want, where I want, when I want to. Sad that someone would be triggered by something so trivial.  
All New Monitor Audio Concept-50 Time-Aligned Loudspeakers : Major-Breakthrough ?!
The mid / tweeter array looks quite a bit like the Tekton array on multiple speakers in their line up. 6 mids in a circular configuration around a central tweeter.   
Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there?
The ones that are nuts are the ones that reply to him on each and every one of his threads. Just as nuts as he is. Has anyone gotten anywhere by doing that?  
Mur Audio SP1
I heard them at Axpona a couple of years ago and thought they were very good. They would benefit from a well blended subwoofer IMO.

Speakers cause weather changes
We have been warned repeatedly about the malfeasance in the speaker industry. If only we had listened!

Listen to the speaker designer folks. He agrees with me.  I thought all speaker designers are wrong all of the time. You have been saying that over and over for years. I guess they are ok with if they agree with any of your random ideas. But he... 
Best Examples Of Cymbal Decays On A Recording
The song "Workin' Man" from the Stanley Clarke album "If This Bass Could Only Talk". Gerry Brown plays multiple cymbal strikes on each of the cymbals in his kit as part of the intro to the song. You can hear the location and decay of each as he mo... 
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
@kuribo I am not chasing my tail. If he measured all of the same things and showed them to you, what difference would it make? The better question would be, what measurement result would convince you it is a good value? You have already answered... 
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
@kuribo  There is no mischaracterization of your comments. You have plainly stated that Purifi and Hypex are state of the art and their measurements prove it. So again, what measurement could Atmasphere provide that would prove his amp is objecti...
