Class D for a Tube Lover
Don't ignore all recommendations....BUT realize that we all have our own sense of what sounds "right".  Instead, recognize that everything that has been listed above has a fan and therefore MIGHT meet your needs...but as you know and has been said... 
Class D for a Tube Lover
I'd like to suggest you give one of the Digital Amplifier Company Cherry Amps a try.  They don't use a class d module purchased from a 3rd party, instead they have their own class d circuitry.  There are several versions, all with similar voicing ... 
Cons of using main XLR/Balanced outs for subwoofer?
@atmasphere Ralph said "So if you have a balanced output on the preamp and a single-ended input for the sub, the ISO-MAX Jensen box is the elegant solution". Question/clarification...since the ISO-Max transformer has a single ended input and a ...

Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
I suspect the reason for the interest is that maybe Ohm Walsh is the ultimate "mystery speaker".  They have been around for a long time.  Many of the older folks remember the Ohm F and how great it sounded when properly amplified.  Not many have h...
