My Node 2i has become a rather expensive remote.
Mrpsync,  Sorry to hear that it didn't work out.  But at least something positive came out of it!  I hadn't tried the Ifi myself, I just went off from what other people said.  And i'm glad that you were able to return it!  Hopefully you find some...

Mrpsync, how did it work out for you?  
Amplifier stability with very low impedance, high efficiency mid/tweeter section???
Audioman58,  I've never listened to a Coda amp but would love to! Ralph,  I should say the main reason I want to use two midrange drivers is to match their output level to the tweeter for the same given power input.  But I'm going by the notion... 
Amplifier stability with very low impedance, high efficiency mid/tweeter section???
fiesta75, I quite like my YBA and haven’t heard a class D that matches it in overall tone so I’m sticking with it but I may be using ICEpower for 200hz and down.    
Amplifier stability with very low impedance, high efficiency mid/tweeter section???
Ralph, thanks for explaining that!   This is simply for a speaker I'm thinking of making myself, not for an existing product.  Once I model it I'll have a better idea of the impedance curve.  But that certainly gives me something to think about.  ...

MC,  I didn't just laugh at your post.  I definitely get what you're saying.  To a large degree I agree with you.  If it won't blow up and it sounds great then that's all I care about.  I know the principle behind Tekton and why people like them.... 
Amplifier stability with very low impedance, high efficiency mid/tweeter section???
Erik, Ok that makes sense. Ralph, That is what I needed to know, and then some! Thank you!! Could you explain the part about feedback falling off in the audio band as frequency increases? I have no idea what that means.  Something to do with ne... 
Amplifier stability with very low impedance, high efficiency mid/tweeter section???
Lol MillerCarbon.   Erik, I've looked at a bunch of other stereophile measurements of amps.  They all fluctuate in impedance but but it's not by very much, at least most of them.  I guess you would need an amplifier with an output impedance of le... 
Amplifier stability with very low impedance, high efficiency mid/tweeter section???
I understand that the lower the load the more heat has to be dissipated, therefore the more output devices and heatsinking.  I just thought that it was low frequencies that were responsible for the majority of this demand, not higher midrange and ... 
Amplifier stability with very low impedance, high efficiency mid/tweeter section???
OK. I understand that speaker impedance fluctuates with frequency.  I think what you're pointing out is that a low dip in a speaker's impedance (no matter at which frequency) is going to present a problem for a typical amplifier to track a flat fr... 
Amplifier stability with very low impedance, high efficiency mid/tweeter section???
Thanks Erik.  But I'm still not sure I understand and maybe I won't.  Are you saying that driving a high efficiency low impedance mid/tweeter section will be no easier for the amplifier than driving a full range lower efficiency speaker that dips ...

Mrpsync, I also suggest the Ifi Zen Stream.  There is a 20 minute video on Youtube from Audio Excellence (dealer in Toronto) comparing the Node vs Zen in which they basically say the Zen is *alot* better in sound quality.  And they are not the onl... 
Protect LED on McCormack DNA HT1 wont go off
Thanks for the responses.. nice to hear from the designer himself! You are correct, it was a fuse. I didn't originally see it because it was one of the ones buried at the bottom of the board, I had to use a snake light to see it! Quite the use of ...
