New Generation Class D - AGD Audion Mkiii upgrade
I had both the Audion II’s and the Atmasphere Class D’s at the same time and preferred the Audions. They are fast, neutral, delicate, well balanced and have a very black background.  I found the Atmas to have a bit of graininess in the upper mids.... 
Amplifier for Khama Mini Exquisite
I just purchased a JL Audio CR-1 active crossover and plan to try trying the XA-25 from 100hz up combined with my swarm subwoofer system.   
Fyne F703...anyone owns the ?
I am very impressed with the F703’s. They are quite lively and engaging with articulate base. A little bit forward in the upper mids, but not annoyingly so. I have not yet tried to tune them in, and I’m also planning on trying some Hijiri cables i... 
What affects front to back depth in room/ system?
I think you should start with some basic treatments, the simple stuff that is unlikely to change. Diffusion on the rear wall, absorption on the side walls, absorption on the ceiling absorption behind you. Then report back on how that affects, your... 
Best Amplifier for LS3/5a
@sumaato Thanks for that.  I am definitely interested in trying out the quad amplifiers.  
Best Amplifier for LS3/5a
@dekay I don't know for sure that there would be hum with RCA connections.  There has been in the past, with different equipment.  I know that it is absolutely silent with all the balanced amps I've used, and I don't like to have any background no... 
Best Amplifier for LS3/5a
@dekay in my experience, a balanced cable has been useful and eliminating or reducing hum that I get with a RCA cable. Because I want absolutely no hum in the bedroom, that’s why I would go with balanced. But these amps are inexpensive enough that...

@dekay I'm not sure if this is a bonehead idea, but I'm curious whether the Quads can be bridged into monoblocks and whether bridging can be used to convert them to balanced.    
Best Amplifier for LS3/5a
@mijostyn I'm currently using a KEF KC62.  To quote the promo "it’s connection options allow it to be used with almost any audio system, with KEF SmartConnect and speaker level inputs eliminating any connection issues. Line output with High Pass F... 
Best Amplifier for LS3/5a
Thanks All.  I agree that a Class A amplifier left on 24/7 under my bed is a bad idea!  The bedroom is small, and mostly I'm trying to TAME bass nodes.  That's a benefit of the Weiss 501 - I am able to use the built in DSP for that purpose.  With ...

@celtic66  thank you for your input. I noticed that several of the Sudgen amplifiers do have balanced inputs… But seem maybe either too big for my bedroom or not powerful enough for the speakers in question. The reason I gravitate towards balanced... 
Best Amplifier for LS3/5a
@rdschicago   Thanks for the suggestion.  I like the fact that it's balanced and that VTV offers a 30-day audition.  I'm not intimidated by it being Class D - because my current amp (AGD Audion) is Ganfet Class D.  I think that the AGD is an amazi...

@clio09 Yep.  I guess my question is how do threads show up in the general feed rather than getting stuck in a specialty forum. Perhaps it's number of people who have responded.  
Best Amplifier for LS3/5a
By the way - not seeing this thread come up on my main page for the Agon forum makes me wonder which threads get seen and which do not!  How does one know if their thread is actually seen, or posted in a place where people WILL see it?  
750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference
I am probably listing my NUC I7 with LPS if anyone is interested. Feel free to PM me.
