Seller Beware???
Wow.  The pay pal rep did not mention that! Thanks.  
Any “value” competitor streamers vs Bluesound Node 2i?
Thanks for the input! 
Class A 30 Watt Amps: Are they enough to drive my book shelfs?
Does anyone have any idea of how this amp might sound at medium volume levels in comparison to a Modwright KWA 150? ( which I currently own ) I would assume a finer grain and less texture?Unfortunately, I have never heard a Pass amp.

Last question : This is for a 10x14 bedroom in AZ.  Will the amp run so hot that it generally becomes impractical for this space?  
Does anyone know if Bluesound Node 2i Streamer/Dac is being updated soon.
This would be my second 2i.  I think it’s one of the best bargains.

Is Pay Pal “secure funds”? 
Did I buy a broken amp?
Thanks guys.  I think you are all right in the money. The speakers are very inefficient at 85/86 and it sounds like Wadia did not want to offer much headroom through their design for whatever reason.  At 88 the unit is satisfying enough I suppose.... 
Did I buy a broken amp?
At 100/100 it is pretty loud for book shelf speakers but usually I expect that kind of loudness at 70/100 with unknown headroom beyond that. Perhaps it was the way it was designed.  I’m just surprised that it seems barely audible at 40/100 volume ... 
Which types of speakers are ideal against a wall?
I have 2 inch acoustic broad band treatments behind speakers with 2 inch extender brackets pushing them out further from the wall.  Is this typically a best (placement / product) practice for treatments?  I also have one in the right corner with c...
