| Class D at low volume My only caveat in recommending Class D amps over others currently might be in regards to the very highest frequencies, tne ones over 12Khz or so that we perceive as "air" in teh sound. I am 50+ and used to hear fine up to 20khz but now I am more l... | |

| Class D at low volume Efficiency done well is always a good thing for sound quality I would say, including at lower volumes. Class D amps are the modern way to introduce some efficiency into a system with out the size bulk and other idiosyncrasies that might go with fu... | |
| Thoughts on the Signal Path You can match gear well and do well without an active pre-amp if you know what your doing but I think it gets harder to get the same sound out that you want from multiple different sounding sources without one. Active pre-amps are the great equali... | |

| TV between speakers: Curved Screen TV, help? Hurt? Flat screen tvs can be a pain for two channel stereo imaging sure. Best strategy is to avoid unique sound reflections off the screen via setup if possible. Not sure I would go to a curved screen just for that. Either mount the tv on the wall so it... | |
| Class D at low volume Mine work great at lower volume. They are so clean and effortless and totally non fatiguing. I often do not realize how high the volume is until someone speaks in the room. They are playing at low volume currently as I type on my triangle speakers... | |
| Impact of speaker stands? Factors to consider are height ability to tilt if needed and if stands couple to floor or isolate. I have dynaudio stands that couple to floor that work best on a more solid foundation and isoacoustics brand stands that sit lower to reinforce bass... | |
