Can You Get 1,000 WPC Out Of Regular Wall Socket?
BEst case scenario for the D-Sonics might be similar to what I observe with my mere 500w/ch rated BCs, ie it sucks the power from the line when you turn it on without issue then is powered up and ready to go with relative little strain on the exte...

Kijanki delivers! Thank you sir!I also recall adiogoner chadeffect driving large Apogees with great success using BEl Canto ref1000 or ref1000m. 1000m is better built for the job. That tells me that these amps are up to most any job. I know they a... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Polarin. Nice stat! Go OHM! 
Abs Sound - Stereophile top tables ' 75-'85 are?
Linn Axis may have come about a tad later in the 80's but surely deserves a mention. Mine matched with Denon DL103R cart is still delivering some stunning sound 25 years + later. Did I just jinx myself? 
Machina Dynamica
"Team America" is a hilarious movie! Much like our friend GEoff!Two standout scenes I recall: 1) The "Ronery" SOng2) The puppets getting it onOf course its by the guy behind SOuth Park, so do not expect any holds barred or political correctness! M...

I doubt power ratings for any switching amp is "sustained", but not sure exactly how to quantify it. Al could probably do it better or maybe agoner Kijanki if he is out there (both excellent EEs).I have heard mixed reviews with Class D amps on ver...

Mitch,I for one would be interested to hear how they fare compared to your big Pass amps with those speakers.Have you ever tried any other Class D amps with those?thanks. 
Best High Efficiency Speakers for full bass tone
I have heard Cathedral speakers at a few Capital Audiofests. I could easily live with and even afford those I think.

Need help with ARC sp16 and tubes
Tony,Thanks for that. I'll keep it in mind. 
Help me pick some speakers
I'd second Dynaudio.OHM Walsh would be hard to beat but with the caveat that bottom ports might not be the most neighbor friendly thing in an upper level apt.I listen to similar music readily and have been running OHM and Dynaudio happily now for ...

Another way to look at it: think about the power/energy that goes INTO making music, be it acoustic, electronic, symphonic, big band, rock, rap, jazz, whatever. Then it becomes clear why one might want a lot of it similarly to play back a recordin...
