Speaker grills
Off for listening, makes a difference in the upper end on my Proacsand because they look much much better (I like to see the speakers, am I the only one?).On at other times, just for dust protection. 
Aesthetix Calypso or Pass Labs Preamp
I think that Calypso may perform even better with a high input impedance poweramp. 
Proac D40R's-amp dilemma-low or high power?
I have the Proac 140 mkII speakers, not the same league but somehow similar specs.I also had a Yamaha 2000 integrated which I also used for a while as a power amp with my tube pre.The Yamaha 2000 is very similar in specs with the L505u.My room is ... 
Yamaha A-S2000 - question for owners
I had a new one 2000, it did the same with the tone controls, maybe because relays activate alternate path.It's a good integrated, I sold mine because my big room and Proacs wanted more grip, I went to a pre-power combo. 
McCormack 225 vs AR 135 SD
After more listening I settled with the McCormack. The match with the Proac and the Aesthetix is very good and I'm very happy with how the system sounds now.Thanks again for your response. 
McCormack 225 vs AR 135 SD

Aesthetix Calypso getting hot on the left side
I couldn't imagine Aesthetix would answer this; I've asked other manufacturers about more serious issues and never got an answer.Again credits to Aesthetix for its support.I don't know if you get a response from AR before asking this herehttp://fo... 
Aesthetix Calypso getting hot on the left side
I got this answer from Aesthetix "...............For the area that you mentioned, it is normal for it to get fairly warm...................".This was a same day answer and thanks to them for the immediate response!

Aesthetix Calypso getting hot on the left side
@Mattkimb96it sounds reassuring@Zd542I have the one with the yellow capacitors.But the heat does not come from this board (with the tubes) but from the common board with the black smaller capacitors and the alone transistor that is between them, j... 
Aesthetix Calypso getting hot on the left side
Thanks for the answer!Do you mean that the tubes get hot?In my piece, the tubes get a little warm, but some other components ( a transistor or a few capacitors) on the other common board, just to the left of the power cord canal, get quite hot.Doe... 
Aesthetix Calypso getting hot on the left side
Thanks for the response.The heat comes from the capacitors or the tranzistor on the left side of the common board (just on the left of the power cord groove).I hope this helps.
