I own the Sony HAPZ1ES and it's sublime. Check out the specs & reviews. Game changer, history will show imo. 
Interesting new music
Referring to Aidan Baker. Suggestion: put artist name in subject line. 
Interesting new music
Currently blowing my mind with his stuff, which is vast. 
clipping and max rated watts/max volume
Depends on the system of course; with power hungry speakers you could go past noon. I've read tho that clipping starts before it's audible, and not near as loud a setting as you'd think.

Also, a plug for a label I adore: MA Recordings. The recording engineer/owner travels the world with a magic DAT and 2 microphones. Unique music also, many genres. Regular CDs that sound out of this world. Chesky CDs sound great also.

Golden Ear Triton 1 what front ends match well

Speakers to hang on to for LIFE
After 7 different speakers in the last 10 years, and the last 3 months with Triton Ones, I do believe I have found my speakers for life. There is nothing they cannot do. Genre, volume, whatever. If you don't believe me, c'mon over.

Nobody in their right mind would add subs to the Triton One, unless they're powering lappers in a strip club. The T1s can break windows if you're not careful.

I also have a NAD D3020 I swap to for kicks. Sounds nice at low-mid volumes. Just ordered the newer Sony ES integrated to match with my HAP so we'll see about that soon. Yes we will. If I dig it, the Cronus is going on the block, as decided to go ... 
Using XLR to Rca adapter
Newbie xlr question: with a 1 meter length, will moving to xlr bring any advantage over rca ICs? 
Review: Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum Tube amp
Say also - has anyone biased their 120s beyond 35?
