If Rhanson, in his original post, indicated that the amp was failing, and unreliable, as he did not, I would never had put my 2 cents in......the way I read it, the amp was wonderful..........Enough from me.........Enjoy ! MrD.

Guidocorona. I appreciate the explanation. However, in Rhanson's original post, he speaks highly of his amp, and, he does mention at times, of a sharpness or harshness, attributable to the room. Did I miss something ? MrD

Just another comment. Rhanson739, does make mention in his original post, that the room might be problematic, as are some of the recordings. Just saying........Enjoy all ! Mr.D

Ricred1. Subtleties in a better amp, are audible, but, cannot eliminate problems in a room. If anything, it would amplify them, no pun intended. There are many $2-3 K amplifiers that have the "beef" to drive the 3.7s, to realistic levels, without ... 
High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps
Although I love my Lascalas, I also, very much, enjoy my Epic CF2s (which to me, are the best of the 4 Epic models ). To each his own. These two Klipsch products are quite different designs, and different sounding (even after modding them), but, t... 
How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre
Wolf, Sorbothane does audibly soften things, as, I choose to use them under certain components. Never under speakers, though. Sorry to disagree with you. MrD. 
How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre
Give Wolf a break guys. He works around live music constantly. Although I am in agreement with you, if he likes the "softer" presentation of sorbothane, so be it.

Rhanson739, as knowledgeable and experienced as I am, or, think I am, with this hobby of recorded music listening, I do not have a recommendation for you. I will say, as my finances, and my life (in general) are not what they once were, I no longe...

Rhanson739, no harm intended. I am finding it odd, that in your original post, you did not mention the need to replace your amp, because of faulty and reliability issues. The amp, on a sonic standpoint, seemed to do everything you wanted an amp to... 
High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps
I still think some older Klipsch, with some mods, are the way to go. I still enjoy my modded Lascala's, in 1 room, and my modded CF 2's, in another. Musically, more right, than wrong. 
How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre
I like this thread, because, some of us hear differences when tweaking, and some bash it as snake oil. I am on the side, that every tweak I have done, to my systems, and others ( and it has been a lot in over 45 years ), has made a sonic differenc... 
Cleaning, polishing Speaker Cabinets ?
I purchase Coconut oil from Costco, and found it to be excellent as a wood polisher/conditioner. 
NAD 787 receiver.. Will satisfy audiophile?
I have a NAD 763 receiver, in which the digital inputs no longer work. As a stereo receiver, this unit sounds amazing to me. If I am losing any merit here, on Audiogon, so be it. I have driven any number of speakers, including my modified Klipsch ... 
High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps
I have been a Klipsch fan for a long time, owning many other designs, brands and models. Owning several pair of Klipsch models, from (all modified) Lascalas, to Epic CF2s, F3s and KG4.2s, I find them to be quite lifelike, and, they all do well wit... 
Agree or disagree with the following statement.
I was a Tice dealer, and, the closer you put the clock to the source, the smoother it all sounded. I had a few customers who heard dramatic differences, others, subtle. I am not saying there isn't snake oil in this industry, nor any other, for tha...
