Florida Audio Expo - Budget Room
Yes, other than being 100 degrees from all the tubes in a small room, the Jolida Black Ice room sounded good…. Possibly because there were 2 rear channels playing much of the time giving a very immersive sensation. Their $2k preamp/processor requi... 
CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS
The photo posted by dill looks just like the Atmasphere class d amps at the Florida Audio Expo in the Unique Audio room.    https://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=180725.new#new  
Tampa Audio Expo 2022
My take:  the turnout was decent… maybe 1000 people on Friday. The rooms were not crowded so it was easy to make requests. The hosts were friendly and there was time to talk. Some rooms were a little bright but generally I found the sound to be pr... 
Florida Audio Expo - Budget Room
Another great sounding budget room…room 514, RJS acoustics with Magnepan LRS supported by dual RJS subs.     
Class D Sighted
Here is a link to a couple photos.    https://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=180725.new#new  
Are you pairing Tube Preamp/Line Stage with Class D Power Amp?
I’m running a Belles 22a pre into a Cherryamp 2Cherry… nothing but praise here.   
Zu introduces Soul 6
It seems that many of the commenters say that the Soul 6 is a very realistic and live sounding speaker.  I feel the same way about my open baffles so I’m wondering if any of those who own the Souls have any thoughts about the Soul sound vs the ope... 
NSMT or Zu?
Terry London loved the model 50s...and they have a 30 day return.... But...part of the consideration should be when the day comes that your are ready to try something else, how easy will they resell and what percentage of the price you paid will ... 
Florida Audio Expo 2022
If you look at the exhibitor list, it’s smaller than the prior 2 years… probably not a surprise. My guess is the turnout will be down some but still decent overall.    Hopefully they do not allow the rooms to get overly crowded.

I’m confused… is the implication from the comments above that Ralph’s new GanFet class d could be easily mistaken as a tube amp with a great bottom end?  
Spatial M3 Sapphire or Klipsch Forte 4
this nice little calculator will allow you to get a ballpark idea of the volume you can achieve with various wattage. https://myhometheater.homestead.com/splcalculator.html I would think that your single ended tube amp will give you a really nic... 
Spatial M3 Sapphire or Klipsch Forte 4
Based on your room  and seating position and having subs that you could cross at40hz… the Sapphires would do what you want and more… but they really do need 3-400 hours of break in… and at least 45” from the front wall and 2’ from the side walls. ... 
Spatial M3 Sapphire or Klipsch Forte 4
If you listen at 80 db you will need a sub or two for the thump. If you listen a 95 db you will probably need room treatments to tame the room. We need more info to provide good feedback…. room size, room construction and furnishings, source and a... 
Totally overwhelmed (speakers under $5k)
The raven Celeste’s are really good… and so is anything Salk.    https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649806872-salk-sound-song-3a-pair/    
Placement of Single Subwoofer Affecting Sound of Main Speakers
One other possibility in those locations is to move the sub up off the floor a foot or two and see what happens. Also, if you don’t have a room measuring system, try this: if you have a tv in your listening room that can connect to your audio sy...
