Yes active outboard crossover would technically be ideal but I really want to avoid going that route because it complicates things far too much. For example bypassimg my speakers complicated 3.5 way internal crossover and having the outboard activ...

@deer_creek_audio  Thanks but like I said I already own a good class D amp and am looking for class A or possibly a/b with high class A bias. Also it's seriously overpowered for my needs

Not sure how I managed to miss that on Schiit website before but yeah, that might remedy the gain mismatch although I do plan on having the same gain on both amps. Like I said before I did manage to find a way to lower the gain on my current amp f...

I have a D Sonic m3a 1200s (class D) which I like a lot. It's just a a fancy I want to entertain and try something else but I didn't want to lose the bass and the control of what this amp provides so bi-amping seems like the way to go. I wouldn't...

Yes I know parasound offers this feature and I've heard this amp but that's way too much power and not really class A. Also not a high achiever when it comes to midrange and treble although it's ok.

A crossover to match levels? Don't think I understand. As long as gain on both amps is the same, the levels will also be the same. There’s nothing wrong the my current amp btw.

@atmasphere  I just learned from the manufacturer of my current amp that there's an input board available that lowers gain to 26db. This should make it easier to locate an appropriate amp. Are there any candidates out there that come to mind?  
Dog pissed on speaker
Jeez, just replace the driver. Quick search showed OEM driver is under 150 $. I wouldn't think twice.  
Is toeing speakers a bad idea?
When I had my speakers toed in, where they crossed about three feet behind my head, the soundstage depth began literally in front of my face and I was distinctly aware of sound emanating from the speakers. When I decreased the toe in to maybe a th... 
After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same?
So according to op,  BHK and first watt are mid-fi? At best?? Huh... Wow...   
The Best Preamp is no Preamp?
I’ve used a preamp section of my marantz receiver (higher end one than op’s) when my actual preamp was sent for repairs. It sounded pretty terrible, to a point a stopped listening to music on that system until the preamp came back from repairs  
Does Heavy Metal music benefit from a high end audio system?
Lots of snarky comments and snobbery as expected in an audiophile forum when word "metal" is uttered but it's unnecessary and down right childish to s..t on someone else music. Those of you that do, go to your bazillion dollar system and listen to... 
Streamer recommendations
I was considering a raspberry pi but I don’t really know how much better they are as streamers comparing to a traditional PC. There isn’t much trusted press about this specific subject. Lumin is too much. 
Streamer recommendations
Yeah, I’ve looked at all these. I was hoping maybe there’s some things out there I wasn’t aware of. Also node, no USB out, Aurender, seriously out of price range, even used. 
Is Parasound on to something? Or, How important is crossover management in preamps?
I do enjoy reading certain individual’s posts, people with actual engineering decree and knowledge surpassing 99.99% of people here, like Atmasphere’s posts but people like that are few and far in between. This places has slowly been losing its lu...
