How much power needed to drive 91db speakers?
@niodari  See the post above I sent to @quincy . My amps are Class A for the first 10 watts and I rarely use all 10, but I’m sure I went wayyy above the 10 when I was playing tunes for my wife.😁 I might have hit 50 watts or I may have hit 300.  I... 
How much power needed to drive 91db speakers?
@quincy  Sorry.  Somehow I missed your post. Before the Sonus Farbers, I had a pair of KEF Reference 5’s and they were very dynamic.  Normally I don’t play loud, but the other day I played Tricycle by Flim & The BB’s for my wife.  Don’t know ...

We lost another great drummer and all the stories he could tell. Sad day indeed.

Another vote for option 2.   
What say you: Is this fair, or AITA?
@mgrif104  You are NOT an ahole, but remember Agon is a business.  Do I think it’s a reach for them to try and bill you after 13 months, YES. Do I think it hokey to require a credit card on file to use the DM, YES.  How they “read” all the messag... 
??? WHY WHY WHY ??? Class A vs Everything Else
My BHK-300 amps are biased @10 watts class A and I rarely go over, but when I do, it’s great to have the extra power.  Think Tricycle by Flim & The BB’s.

Congratulations! Over the weekend, I sat my wife down in the listening position and played her a few tunes and said this is why I’ve I keep at it. She smiled and walked out of the room 😁  
Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too?

Need advice with matching amp with speakers
It’s hard to go wrong with SF speakers. I’m using a PS Audio BHK Signature preamp and BHK300 amps with mine, but I bought them because they’re “Hybrids” and with a little tube rolling helps refine the sound I wanted to hear. I also have one subwoo... 
Tube Pre-amp Suggestions.
Another vote for Audio Research.  I have a SP9-MK2 and have been itching to get something newer and still haven’t pulled the trigger. Depending on you finances, the LS-28 is really good and of course there’s the REF series. Oh and why are you wan...

@audio-b-dog  Was listening to Pat Metheny, Imaginary Day when I read your posts about Mose Allison.   Being a sucker for everything that RVG had a hand in, I immediately went to Mose Allison Sings and my toes been a tapping ever since.  
Meitner MA3i DAC Review
Interesting review, but I’m left with a couple of questions.  First is why no I2s and Second, in the review they mention a dollar amount, but not whether it’s in Canadian or American dollars.  I am interested in getting a new DAC, but I’ll defini... 
Rolling Stones - Hackney Diamonds
I was shocked and pleased when I first heard Hackney Diamonds.  Mick and the boys made a surprisingly good album.
