| recommendations for amplifiers that don't emit tons of heat @tripg The Ayre were a bit bass shy in their early iterations, but the more current models are not.I would opt for a good sub, as your speakers aren't floorstanders, should you want full deep bass. A Vandersteen sub would allow you to use a lower ... | |
| recommendations for amplifiers that don't emit tons of heat Your speakers are pretty efficient, so you could probably get away with lower powered amp, say 60-90 wpc, which should have enough headroom for demanding passages.Perhaps an Ayre AX-7e? or a McCormack Micro Drive?I am running a pair of Zu Omen Boo... | |

| Schiit Vidar.... Anyone heard one yet? I haven't heard it either, but if Schitt is doing their 'Schiit', I expect it to be a very good piece of equipment at its' price point.I say this after having owned a Modi Multibit, Bifrost Multibit, and a Gungy (non Multibit). Each model up impro... | |
