Thanks to Paul McGowan
Decades ago Paul was the first to make reasonably priced true balanced kit. I bought in and finally just in the past ~ 5 years more and more companies have come around  
Stereo or monoblocks
Two amplifiers that I own (both excellent) are dual mono EVS 1200 (TweakAudio) Voyager GaN 350 LSA Im pretty sure there are others  
Magnepan 3.5r Owners needed.... No bass
OK. even if you inspect the fuses visually, you might not see a problem. They're cheap, I would replace them. Better still though I never tried it but many swear by bypassing the fuses all together (do a search). I went through 3 Behringers and 2... 
Magnepan 3.5r Owners needed.... No bass
IME, although it is weird, it’s normal when only connecting the bass drivers of any speaker to barely make sound. I forget. does the back of the panel have 2 fuses? That's worth a check Cheap actives are junk but you can buy a cheap one from seve...

My first OBs (Open Baffles) some 20 years ago were Accoustat 2+2s, which I MIGHT still own but for the tube servo amps back then were unstable. Fortunately someone finally figured out how to make them stable. Anyway Im an OB lover, my next OB bein... 
Custom Window Sound Blockers
Thanks for this. Very cool. Im on a very quiet street but the pane window behind my system is huge 8'8" x 6' 8", sonically a negative, especially with Open Baffle speakers. I have thought to apply fake brick panels, but preparing to sell, but I ha... 
What speakers work with low wattage class A amps
FWIW this month's Stereophile has a review of the Heresey speakers, which are super efficient. The reviewer used a couple flea 2-3 watt amps then used a Parasound 21+ (400wpc@ 8 ohms) which had more balls and sounded more organic   I would thin... 
We should reject hard-to-drive speakers more often

Moving on from Parasound P5 Dac or Preamp
Over a decade ago I had the P5. It is NOT a balanced design, although as I recall, the XLRs are separate from the main boards. I eventually got the P6, a significant upgrade, but that went down the road too. For the last 4+ years my Audio Alchemy ... 
CD TRANSPORT THAT MAKES AN AUDIBLE DIFFERENCE
@cymivka  Glad you were able to resolve without sending it out Enjoy  
Jim Gordon has Passed On...
it took some psycho therapy and Adult Child of Alcoholic classes, but thanks. I came to peace with it long ago. I should have closed with that and don't criticize until you've walked a mile in their shoes

@gregdude Im 74+. I left home in 1966 at 17 (by 2 just months). My alcoholic mother would beat the crap  out of me for no cause other than she was an angry drunk. The night I left she was in my face (literally), screaming all manner of profaniti...
