some years back at an audio show. Forgotten which one. Can be AXPONA. And since auditory memory is a bit junk take this with a grain of salt. It didn't sound anything revelatory to me and frankly you can do better for less in 2025 @smodtactical   
!!!OK OK - I'm Big Enough To Admit I Was DEAD WRONG!!! Class D Doesn't Always Suck!!!
Class D hasn't sucked in decades  
3 channel amps
Uhm no the 3 channel is its own independent line of signal. You must have an AV tool that can at least do multichannel audio even if it's just Surround Sound or else there's no need for the centre channel signal for an amp @jbuhl   
Anyone heard the new Mofi V10 Master Edition at Axpona?
@dayglow lol your pain is showing in this comment. I've heard most Borresen speakers and granted some of the it is down to the horrendous music used at shows, I heard the X3 last year at AXPONA and if that was the speaker being touted here, I'm gl... 
Guitar lacking bite, vocal lacking presence
Invest in a measurement mic @andy2   This - MiniDSP UMIK-2 and use the Moving Mic Method and that should give you an RTA of your space from your seated position and should give you an idea of how your speakers are coupling with the room and how ...

Cable Quest

Cable Quest
Mogsmi bulk cable 100ft at 14 AWG which I cut into my desired lengths and then terminated with some gearit right angled banana plugs. Don't need anything ridiculous for speaker cables  
What was the best “new to you” song/music/artist you heard at Axpona 2025?
AXPONA isn't a place to look for new music I'm afraid. Only room in AXPONA I've attended that had actual music and not some fart sounds last year was the MoFi Electronics room and the Lyngdorf room.   I assume it was the same this year with mayb... 
Problem with dac/ cd transport / streamer sound differences
I feel you should be happy you're not needing to continue spending for these supposed difference @antmou   I'm in the M Scaler is Bullshit camp. You've come around to noticing that too and are disappointed. That's normal but this shouldn't lead ...

ATC SCM150 Amp and Preamp recommendations
If we take ATC's documentation at face value. The efficiency of one SCM100 is listed as 91dB/1w@1m @ei Meaning if you were to listen 12ft away from the speaker and the speakers were 3ft away from the front wall, you'd get to 100dB peaks with a 10...
