It's great to see opinions voiced. What I hope to see is constructive comment - not telling someone, directly or indirectly, they've bought a piece of crap. That's demoralising for someone who's spent what for them could be a lot of money.

If everyone thought, and listened, the same there would be very little choice on the market. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion without criticism. We should encourage helpful guidance such as suitable equipment pairing. For a hifi newcomer to read comments saying their turntable, or whatever,...

I admit to being old enough to remember the first LP12s.
Any criticism of an LP12 and the reply was "It can't have been set up correctly"

These class d amps are something i keep looking at periodically. Reason being that the f5 costs quite abit to run being an absolute room heater of an amp. The a20 i have is not the best choice for the big fane speakers because they are so efficient at 101db. A little bit of volume control movement ...

Re the "fatiguing" sound of class D amps: I use a small class d amp to power a pair of Klipsch speakers for TV sound. Okay for TV but not good for audio only. Connecting my Cesti MB speakers in place of the Klipschs is a revelation - much smoother. Putting the Klipschs together with NVA is...

I wonder how much better a class D amp could be with a decent power supply. Temple Audio offer an alternative power supply for theirs but it doubles the price.
