I don't have much experience with phono stages 35 years ago I had integrated amp that had dedicated phono input.  So far I tested Schiid Mani and Mani2 they are ok sounding but noise level was outrageous at 66db gain. Next I got to deal with XP15 ...

well when I load Hanna ML on XP15 with 47k the bass was amazing, but top end and half of mid was nonexistence. so naturally I will load 17 with 47k and see what will happen.

@swede58  yes, JBL 4367 does the trick at 94db 8ohm  and they are set at neutral setting for crossover loads

Shocked. Need Opinions. How muck power do I need?
@livinon2wheels lets get something straight.  A. My amp is Pass X250.8 so by definition is not class A amp it is A/AB class amp that runs first 15-20W in class A and it working temp regardless of class operation is 119F. Its not the coolest runni... 
Shocked. Need Opinions. How muck power do I need?
@livinon2wheels while I agree with you that Amp should be about double power rating than your speakers MAX Contin. power, lately I started to think that if your speakers can deliver maximum power without the distortions and sound is way too loud t...
