Ok, I know the reputation of these things (Flame Linear) but I was wondering 2 things:
A) When they are working normally, do they sound good? Are they good amps?
B) What exactly causes these things to shut down and flame speakers when detecting a DC current?
C) Is it possible to repair them so that they never set your speakers on fire without having to add a fuse box on your speakers?
I know that WhiteOak sells those $170 (+/-) kits but do those kits do what I am asking? I do love the look of these amps (prettier & simpler looking than the Marantz 250, 250M, 510, 510M amps IMO).
Just wondering if they are worth the investment of buying one and then buying the Whiteoak kit.
