So, you lied to us, stating you found one for sale......that's nice. 
Something For The Fuse Guys ...
Frank, so what you are saying, if I am understanding correctly; you, as the listener, have moved back a few rows from the stage, and you are still hearing finer details in the musicianship......I would say that is pretty impressive.  
Something For The Fuse Guys ...
I have always bypassed the speaker protection fuses on amplifiers, with the exact same response quoted by that P.S.Audio guy, as I do not remember his name. Why should I ?,  because he does not know how anything works. Kidding, of course, about no... 
Which stereo amp to try under $30k
I need to ask the obvious question. What do you feel you are not getting from your Mc 452 ? And as part of this same question...What do you want more of, less of ? Your Mc actually fits your " guidance ", but admittedly, I do feel there is better.... 
Forte 1A or Threshold 400A
400 A ...but did you contact Steve McCormack about replacing your boards, and upgrading other aspects of the design....very musical....I know it is too late ( as you sold it ), but, am interested to know. I ask, because, I was in the same situatio... 
Something For The Fuse Guys ...
Not everyone can hear a fuse difference, nor, have never even tried it. So the few who troll the idea, as there will always be those few, we fuse guys, just need to move on, and try extracting every last bit of detail through our systems.....It is... 
Warm Class D for horns?
I realize I spoke of non class D amplifiers. But if warmth is what you are looking for, with horns, I stick with my recommendations, and agree with wolf.  
To those running Klipsch Forte IIIs...
jbhiller....you were offended, and I am sorry for that. I am a somewhat educated guy. When I read a statement such as yours, saying " before I move on ", I take it to mean one thing, and one thing only. So, say what you want. If you are able to si... 
Warm Class D for horns?
I have used 100’s of ss amps on my horns, and the warmer of these amps, have been the designs using mosfets, specifically, those using the original Hitachi devices. They sound nice on my horns. Hafler, Soundcraftsmen and some others available, use... 
Something For The Fuse Guys ...
Oregonpapa. I need to apologize, as my post of the fuse / amplifier problem, might have put a damper, on your 1st, and most wonderful, thread. Never intended for that to happen, as it became realized, when I wanted to do another fuse upgrade. So, ... 
$40,000: What 2-channel system would you build?
tweak1, that 28K includes the matching preamp. And, there are absolute reasons in using mono blocks. Did Ric say he could add a 2nd power cable to the EVS 1200, to truly utilize the superiority of mono blocking ?, or was that someone else. Having ... 
To those running Klipsch Forte IIIs...
If anyone is familiar with me, and my posts, I will remind everyone here, that given the price points, and the easy and inexpensive way many Klipsch models can be improved upon, they are more musical, and enjoyable, to most anything else out there... 
$40,000: What 2-channel system would you build?
tweak1, what 28K GaN amps, slashed to 14 K, are you referring to ?  Unless you are referring to willgolfs new, Mola Mola mono amps, AND matching preamp. Those Putzey Mola Mola amps are not GaN amps. 
To those running Klipsch Forte IIIs...
" and before I move on ". I guess they are not the keeper you say they are.  
$40,000: What 2-channel system would you build?
You can do a lot of mods and upgrades with those Klipsch Heresy speakers, and add a pair of nice powered " audio " sub woofers, as opposed to home theater boom boxes. Of course, I am a large proponent of horns, and the Klipsch Heritage, specifical...
