LED ZEPPLIN 4 cd box set disc 1/4  
PS audio m1200
fUNNY, CAUSE THIS WAS MY TAKEAWAY "Putting a much lower quality amp like PS or some others recommended here is not going to result in a great sounding system.'  
PS audio m1200
@ghdprentice  while I agree that PS Audio tends to over value the MSRP of their products, they aren't garbage either. Michael Fremer kept the M1200s he reviewed. I have a Ric Schultz EVS 1200 dual mono (one chassis) based on the same IcePower mod...

Eric, in my case the 3.4 is my first coax  
Coaxials - Reality vs. Experience?

Solid State amp to go with Audible Illusions Modulus 3a preamp

Audible illusions L3 vs L3B
Only if you plan to upgrade your source and amplifier. I made that switch 3+ decades ago. IMHO, balanced is the only pure way to fly

Should I steer clear of class D amps
I too have owned quite a few class D amps over the decades, including the PS Audio M700s, which were decent but not enough umph for my big room. The 2 that remain are the EVS 1200 dual mono single chassis amp, a Ric Schultz (Tweak Audio) effort ba...
