RMAF 2019!
Enjoyed day-1 heading back now for day-2.  Fantastic new venue! 
RMAF 2019 Arrival
Following up... the hotel offered to move us last evening late but my wife had already settled in for the night so we decided to just get the exercise! 
Where do I start!?!
Most current preamp products have both XLR and RCA outputs.  Get something like the PS Audio BHK signature pre and you are fixed up.  There are a number of these excellent units on the used market at present at around $3k.  Just remember to have f... 
My “Dream” system needs a preamp
I can strongly recommend Supratek. 
Hum Super Sleuth Needed
Found it!  Freaking cable box sitting one shelf under the noisy amp.  Must be broadcasting RF.  Moved and solved.  I was just before taking the back off the amp. 
Hum Super Sleuth Needed
delkal...  Thanks, the speakers are not powered though they are horns thus any hum is very noticeable.  Note that the other monoblock is dead quiet. 
What is your favorite High EFF speaker

CODA Continum 8 Imput Impeadence
Odd that the Continum #8 is not on the Coda web site as I was interested in this amp as well. 
Horn Speaker Recommendations
I went through this very exercise over the last year.  The La Scala-II is fantastic and paired with a really good sub is full range bliss.  That being said I moved on to the BD-Oris-150 using the Voxativ AC-2.6 8" full range. I have kept the La Sc...

Best Values In Speakers To Pair With Coincident Frankenstein MKII Monoblocks?
The Klipsch Heritage series come alive with 3-8 watts of SET.  I use the La Scala with the same Frankie-Mk-II with outstanding results but in a room of your size the smaller Heresy-III or Forte-III would be outstanding.  Note I'm not really a "Kli... 
Tekton or Klipsch
I'm driven by dynamics thus Klipsch.  Note that besides my horn systems I do have a pair of Tekton PS-15's and find them very good. 
Tone, Tone, Tone !
For me it's Dynamics, Dynamics, and Tone
