Amps I Like
Hello Erik,     Ambitious undertaking, thank you.  A few suggestions:1. Document the list of amps on a spreadsheet so it becomes a living document that you can update periodically as required. Reference it with a link on all future posts. 2. Inclu... 
Bought a pair of Magnepan LRS. Should I buy a Schiit Vidar or Bryston 3B-ST?
Hello areasonableman,     I agree a Bryston would be a good option.  Based on my knowledge and experience,  The Class D Audio 470 will be about equally as powerful as the Brystons but will be more detailed, have better perceived bass response alth... 
I am Looking for That Elusive 3 Dimensional Room Filling Soundstage
eag618,     I understand and appreciate, from your aquarium analogy, the type of overall system sound your after and I believe you're on the right track with using tubes to try and achieve it.       Unfortunately, I can't offer much useful advice ... 
Just how big is our foot print?
Hello Erik,     I think having a YouTube type section with a blog is a good idea.  Members could start their own channels presenting videos on subjects they're knowledgeable of or just passionate about with blogs attached for questions, comments a... 
Bought a pair of Magnepan LRS. Should I buy a Schiit Vidar or Bryston 3B-ST?
Hello areasonableman,     Those two 'wheels' are small toroidal transformers, which are part of the amp's power supply.  If one of those was not functioning properly on most class D amps, I believe the amp's internal monitoring circuits would caus...

Whoops messed up the link while editing, here it is: https://imgur.com/a/i8c4gLfHello areasonableman,     I must be missing something in your linked photos because I can't identify anything that appears cracked.  Can you please be more specific in... 
What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load
erik_squires:"My original point George was that you never accept anyone's experience with Class D as valid, or just as important as yours, and that is a type of disrespect I really really wish you would stop demonstrating."      I just wanted to w... 
Warm Class D for horns?
cosmicjazz,     The overriding characteristic of good class D amps is their neutrality, nothing is added or subtracted from the inputted signals.  I've heard many class D amps and currently own 2 stereo and a pair of mono amps, they're all neutral... 
GIK Room Treatment Questions and Advice for Magnepans
Hello TEP, Good info, thanks.1. Broadband bass trapping always concerns me and makes me hesitant to even try it in my room. As I’ve stated, I use an Audio Kinesis DEBRA 4-sub distributed bass array that performs incredibly well in my room. I hones... 
GIK Room Treatment Questions and Advice for Magnepans
Hello brownsfan, Browns looked good pounding the Jets. And yes, I did buy your old house and yes, I did find that hidden dungeon room you built in the basement. Talk about room treatments, that thing is soundproof! It’s now my kids’ new playroom, ... 
Tekton 4-10 Subwoofer
Hello millercarbon,     True, four stacked 10" drivers on a sub is unique and would be powerful. It reminds me of the bass line array towers on the old classic Infinity RS-1B speakers, except those bass towers had six 8" woofers stacked.ttps://www... 
Bought a pair of Magnepan LRS. Should I buy a Schiit Vidar or Bryston 3B-ST?
maplegrovemusic,     Responding by just stating "bryston", with no further effort at explaining why, is intellectually lazy, myopic, meaningless and its actual value to this thread, the OP or anyone else is in direct proportion to the number of wo...
