Help with Sonus Faber Extrema issue
George, From the Stereophile review: A first-order crossover can be achieved, not with a series capacitor but with a single inductor, this connected in parallel with the tweeter. The parallel inductor connection terminates the high-frequency dri... 
Help with Sonus Faber Extrema issue
The tweeter pair should measure open circuit because of the cap in series .The bass will measure what ever the resistor is in series, (does anyone know what that is?) . https://ibb.co/BNtQdtJ George, Extrema treble section has no series capacito... 
Need Help! My Class A Amp Is Running Very Hot
I just did another reading from the KillawattStandby =1.1WIdling power on with no input =318WWith input and music playing =326W60Hz Volt 122 I did some google search and found the following: L-590A / L-590AII power consumption is 280 watts at idle... 
Correct Way to Invert Phase
Before reversing the positive and negative connections to your speakers, check your power amp and sources if the phase/polarity inverted !  
Need help to find a solid state amp that sounds as good as VTL S200

Need Help! My Class A Amp Is Running Very Hot
If OP's (khmyjy) amp is L-590AX and not the AXII, there's a possibility his amp is a 100v japan model. The L-590AX is spec’d as consuming 220 watts at idle (310 watts max). The L-590AXII is spec’d as consuming 260 watts at idle (330 watts max).

+1 @ramtubes and erik, Plug in the L-590 to a KILLAWATT to verify if the bias as specs Power consumption 330W260W (under no signal)

@sanpsc +1 Cost effective suggestion, a white one will save you a few pennies :) https://www.amazon.com/TRC-14650006-6-Shockshield-Protection-Unmonitored/dp/B000XVG72G 
Classe CA-2100 - LED turn red, Amp shuts down, LEFT side of the Amp is extremely hot!
Yes, speaker + terminal works: https://elektrotanya.com/PREVIEWS/63463243/service-tips-info/egyeb/classe-audio_ca-2100_2200_3200_51... And the picture on each channel you can see the protection pcb on standoffs: https://elektrotanya.com/PREVIEWS/6...

George, If you look closely you can see the trim pot on the edge of each side of the main board close to the back panel. Those blue trim pots close to each other on a daughter board are protection circuits.

https://elektrotanya.com/PREVIEWS/63463243/service-tips-info/egyeb/classe-audio_ca-2100_2200_3200_51... Good thing is you still have a working channel for reference. 
Please answer for dummies: Any way to increase power from a Chinese tube amp?
what downside may come from having both volumes near max. Don't worry about it, turn the volume knob near max. actually give you better sound quality, just remember to turn the volume down before you change sources.

Tony, have you try those 1/2C rechargeable NiCad battery? 
Help with an AV processor
If your Panasonic Plasma TV or cable server box has digital audio output (coaxial or optical), you can connect it to the Oppo-BDP-105D digital audio input.

I think the input impedance of your amp is the resistance value of the volume pot (Based on the link provide by zkidd). https://6moons.com/audioreviews/almarro4/schematics.gif
