The revolution has begun!
@tweak1 Yes, I did get it modded by Ric. It was an improvement over stock, especially on the top end. I had another amp that had more low-end power but not as good on top, I sold the Voyager because I wanted more power for the bass with my old Thi... 
Luxman 590AX II Break-In
@jeffreyw I was reading a post of yours when I was researching the Luxman M10X amp. I am looking for an amp for the KEF Blade 2 Meta and was thinking of the Rotel Michi M8 mono. It was suggested to me to check out the M10X over the Michi by a form... 
I have NOVA V's and I am not happy
@rlross3 This afternoon I removed my CD rack containing about 300-400 CD’s from my small office. I had an acoustic absorption panel in front of the rack because it was near the first reflection point of my right speaker. I also increased my wall ...

@tweak1 I am expecting the GAN1 to be better than the LSA Voyager 350 GAN. If so, that would be quite an accomplishment, especially at the price.  
No 1099-k for 2022 for Paypal and other payment platforms
Hey I am a poor guy who was wringing hands in worry about this, so much so that I got a second job last week to pay my taxes. This is freaking great news!  
Top 3 Headphones
I am not a headphone guy, but I think I have 2 of the very best headphones at any price. As I write this, I am listening to my hard rock headphones, the RAAL CA-1a with the SR728 Silver RAAL cable (it matters). I have 3 amps (soon to be 4) that I ...

Your ML gear is not bright from my experience. The 585 and 436 were on the slightly warm side of things when I heard them with Magico A3 speakers. I also feel the B&W are brighter than my comfort level, and the Sonus is darker than my comfort ... 
This may be of interest to some...
PayPal, Venmo, et al are all the intended targets. Though people are beeaching about this and there may be some adjustments. Such as making the threshold higher.  
Which mono power amp would you choose and why?
@jaymark Is your CODA #16 as powerful sounding as the other amps in your possession? I am also thinking like the OP to buy something with massive power over refinement. The CODA #16 is my idea of a refined amp the Michi that I referenced above sho... 
Which mono power amp would you choose and why?
@alucard19 There is also a S5 stereo Mitchi amp that is in your power spec range available on USAudiomart. Though the price is not that great. Michi (Rotel) S5 Amp Like New Powerhouse! For Sale - US Audio Mart If you get a Michi I would be inter... 
Which mono power amp would you choose and why?
This is not an answer to your question, but it may be helpful. I also have the LA4 and AHB2. I love the combo and will have this long term with my KEF LS50 Meta. I will get a second LA4 for a system with potentially power-hungry speakers. I heard...

@bigtwin Can I afford a Boulder, a single amp, yes. A stack of Boulder gear, no.  Being able to afford one and wanting one are different. At one time I desired these uber expensive gear but I did a lot of listening, bought some semi-expensive gear... 
The revolution has begun!
I would take the GAN1 gear over the Boulder. Boulder is too big, too ugly, and seems like a real waste of money for the seller. "All almost no use, only few hours of operation." It would have been cheaper to come to the same conclusion with a GAN1... 
T+A elektroakustik HV Series Components
@steve59 I had the issue of low-level volume listening problems before I got my current headphones (had a new baby back then). My solution back then for 2-channel was to find gear that was ultra-quiet. I found that with this type of gear I could h... 
Peachtree GaN 1 Beta
@donnylovely Thanks I think this is likely what I need, The miniDSP Flex has many applications including as a compact digital stereo preamp, subwoofer integration and optimization to active speakers, home theater and recording studio implementat...
