Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp...
Reb,Honestly from your accounts of how severely teh sound was distorting I was wondering if all was well, especially with soft clipping in play and all, but had nothing concrete to base that on other than that the amp was newly built, still a baby...

Good idea to compare the amps assuming one is older and proven and one is just a newborn baby!

Tbg,Shilling might be unseemly but is legal in these parts it seems.

I would be surprised if they were 98db efficient for example if Klipsch Heresy III horn loaded design is 99db. In any case, either should represent a huge step up in efficiency from the Decapos and hopefully put any semblance of clipping to rest.

Agree with Seikosha.Personally though I think "Katz Meow" is one of the more creative speaker names I've heard.Lore will do though. Wasn't he Data's evil twin android brother back on STTNG? And didn't Data have a pet cat?I detect a pattern here.....

Kanye West - Grammy comment, re Beck
HE can do whatever he wants. Just don't expect people to approve. I doubt he really cares though. I don't really either that much. Its just a discussion. Anyone can say or do whatever they want within teh limits of the law. Its a free country. 
Speaker recommendation
I would think that a pair of mmgs + pair of 12" powered subs would go as loud and clear as needed if teh crossover is done in a manner that offloads most of teh bass below 50-60 hz or so to the subs.Do you know if that is how you have yours setup?... 
What speakers for 10k?
"Anyone who tells you how something is going to sound just by looking at a spec sheet is full of it. "I would agree with that. However, a good engineer will know how to put those specs to best use in order to meet the goal.

A good engineer need only know their technical domain best in order to be the best engineer.But there is more to delivering good engineered solutions. Its a team sport. In that context, the best engineer is the one that uses their expertise to hel...
