Opinions needed on some Klipsch for 2 channel
I had Heresy speakers in the mid seventies. You do get a lot of sound without having to use high powered amps but to me there was a trade off. Because of the horns I found them to be wearing  after a relatively short listening time. If I wanted Kl... 
I have question about frequency response and power issues
I haven't ever experienced clipping with this amp but I have had it shut down because of overheating. I did install a cooling fan behind the amp and it seems to have made a difference. I do have a tendency to "enjoy" high volumes. If I play track ... 
I have question about frequency response and power issues
PS, I was told by the repair guy at Audio Advice in Raleigh that the M1s were good for 250 RMS with 500 watt peaks, but biamping was giving me 500 RMS and one thousand watt peaks, he said that was what cooked my tweeters.

I did have two Bryston 4B amps, bi-amping, but I got a little too happy with the volume and fried my tweeters. I had to send them to a guy in Canada that bought all the old Mirage M1 stuff. He rebuilt them and replaced the ferro-fluid. They are ba... 
I have question about frequency response and power issues
I am not clipping but the amp will get hot and shut itself off. Previously I was using the Bryston 4Bs and they seemed to have a lot of punch, the sound I have now seems thin and I don't hear ANYTHING until I am cranked up to about 2/3 volume. Not... 
Preamp for Mirage M1
I don't what is "too laid back" but tubes and M1s go very well together. I am using M1s, Ampzilla and a Lexicon MC8 and a Yaqin tube CD player. 
Have you ever tried a pair of speakers and said this Is the last thing I will ever need.
I can't say for sure that I will NEVER change my speakers but I am very happy with my system. I am running Mirage M1s with a Son of Ampzilla 2 and a Lexicon MC8 in bypass mode as a preamp. Using a Yaqin SD30A tube CD player. The SD30 and the M1s a...
