Adding a sub woofer?
I own a pair of REL S2 SHO subwoofers.  What I like about them is their high level connection as well as their home theater connection for sound effects when watching movies.  I am glad I listened to the dealer because two rather than one.Their hi... 
Can I use 24 gauge speaker cable?
I would use this group to help you.  I noticed a big difference when I purchase a decent set of cables.  Kind of like buying a 1/4" garden hose verses a 1: diameter garden hose.  It is like buying an expensive car and putting cheap oil in it.  If ... 
which speaker to buy
I know Klipsh might handle the power.  However, you better like the high frequencies  I would imagine they might have to large in size.  A pair of REL S2 SHO's would be able to handle the low end because they are amplified.I will be curious to fin...

What's your favorite boutique speaker maker
SALK Audio makes the best speakers for the money  Paradigm also makes some really good sounding speakers. 
Hi-res streaming on Qobuz
I think it would be helpful to have a streamer that displays resolution.  However, even if it does and you cannot hear the difference perhaps there isn't that much of a detectible difference doing a blind test.  I wish my BlueSound Node 2i had a r... 
Wanting to get back into the hobby and want to start with the speakers.
I attended the RMAF a couple of years ago and listened to a pair of SALK Song3 Encore tower speakers priced at $6,000/pair.  I thought they sounded better than a pair of $60,000 speakers down the hall.  Problem is they are sold direct and you will... 
Streaming for beginner
When I purchased my BlueSound Node 2i I purchased a ProJect S2 DAC to connect to the BlueSound.  When I added the external DAC the bass sounded thinner.  I wonder why that was the case?  Of course the ProJect DAC is an inexpensive DAC and perhaps ... 
Tidal MQA vs Qobuz hi-res
I for some reason think MQA on Tidal sounds quite good.  It is supposed to be what was recorded originally.  I have a Bluesound Node 2i and when I purchased it I also purchased an external DAC.  After comparing with and without the DAC, I found th... 
Streaming for beginner
I really think the Bluesound Node 2i sounds great.  I tried adding a DAC, but lost Tidal MQA and the Bluesound playing MQA sounded better.  When adding the DAC the bass frequencies fell off and it sounded thin.  I wonder if Bluesound increased the... 
Speaker upgrade question.
I know dealers are not going to like to hear this, but I went toe the RMAF and heard a pair of SALK Song3 Encore speakers at the show for $6,000 and they sounded better than a pair of $60,000 a few rooms down the hall.  However, they sell direct. ... 
Charging A Fee To Demo An Amplifier In A Brick & Mortar Store
Maybe they could give you a 10 year trial and call it good.Actually, if this gear is that great they might let you try it for 30 days at home before making the purchase. 
One of the Best Stereo System in the World!
Keel must be incredible and extremely expensive.  I wish I were rich like so many in this group. 
What is missing here?
Why would you consider buying an amp like this in the first place if it puts out that amount of distortion?  There are better choices.
