How do you like Mono M-10X vs. single Stereo one @thisisme? The stereo configuration goes down to 1 ohm, while the Mono only spec to to 2 ohm, so there’s some trade off it seems for more power. Not that many, if any, speakers goes to 1 ohm. Very ... 
Give Up on Bacch?
I can see that it makes sense in your case.  I did like ORC while I had the Baach, my room is well treated and at the end of the day the benefit wasn't enough for me. Unfortunately the crosstalk cancelation doesn't work for me, I had really high h... 
Give Up on Bacch?
I tried Baach and ended up returning it.  It doesn't sound too natural for me and what I noticed was the tendency to mess with instruments decays was the cause. Edgar was super pleasant to work with and I did struggle to like it, but in the end th... 
Luxman M-10X Stereo vs. Mono or C900U
How did you like the mono compared to stereo?  Is it worth it to go mono with the M10x?

I like to know the process too and have been contemplating upgrading, I would love to get a chance to listen and compare v1 and v2 before sending the v1 in, or decide to keep the v1 if v2 sound didn't work out.  I do enjoy the v1 now, although I d...

@vinpic do you have both the V1 and V2 for back and forth comparisons?  Granted there's a long lag time, an hour? needed to swap the drivers.  Or is your assessment going by audio memory? Thanks

Nice, glad to hear consistent reports for Alan's amp.  I did asked Alan to remove the volume control in my copy, hoping to gain a little resolution there.  Sorry didn't mean to dis the RCA 45, all my impressions were with Woo WA5 and headphones.  ...

@abd1 looks like RCA 45, and RCA 6sn7.  I have not heard RCA 45, yet, but my experience with RCA 6sn7 is that they are very dull sounding and not as musical as other 6sn7 out there.  I really like Brimar cv1988 6sn7 but they are pretty much unobta...

Alan is building me a set of his 45 mono as well.  Which 45 tube are you using?

Thanks for the insight Aric.  Always good to get design decision from the builder himself.

I think that was your amp in USAM right? What’s the reason for EL84 vs Eric other amps which uses 6sn7 and 6v6 tubes to drive the 300B?

I like it, although price have crept up significantly.. when the effort first started, $10k was the target and that was with active servo control woofer.  Still a pretty unique design with passive radiators and front/back ribbon tweeter.  I wonder...
