If only it didn't have fans.
I have been playing the one I am trying out pretty loud and have only manage to get them to run a couple times in a already hot space. And its was like "oh wow, are the fans are running?" in between songs. had to go look at it.

You won't hear the fans above say 70 dB. Maybe knowing the fans are spinning is interrupting your enjoyment. I get that.

ESL's & tubes since 83
And just for the record I build or buy good cables, but nothing expensive, as in less that $75 if I buy, I am more about the material and build quality
You might want to try these the next time you're looking for RCA cables. They are Silver plated OF Copper and have locking RCA's.
I have a pair. They connect my DAC to my preamp. The build quality is superb.
$40 for a 1 Meter pair. Shipping cost is $22 (from China) regardless how many you buy. They are from 8Audio.

You do know this is ak were we live in the 1970-1983 receiver past, don't you?
Yes, amp racks are so much easier to move these days. Lots of good things happened to touring audio/video/lighting in the last 30 years.
Many are stuck there for some reason, for whatever reason
but not all of us. I got over receivers when I was 18

A BBE Sonic Maximizer! Surprised a self-respecting musician would admit to having one in the rack.
Just yanking your chain, I run a couple in my system to compensate for my high-frequency hearing loss.

It's just stuff - but fun
I have four of the blue ones (Model 362).
And my current bass pre-amp is this:
I was talking to the owner of Bass Northwest (no longer in business) in Seattle once many years ago and he told me that they could make a $1,000 stereo sound like $10,000. I thought he was full of baloney but he wasn't . I bought all of them off Craigslist for typically $30 each. The one in the photo was more expensive, obviously, as was the bass preamp. I bought all of them used, though. I swear by those things. And yeah, my hearing loss is bad enough now that I wear hearing aids during meetings. Too much time next to loud drummers
I bought a crown xls PA, but I also have CV D-9 speakers. Pretty much sums up my non audiophile nature. Fans have never come on, or maybe they have, not sure I could even hear them when its cranked up. Question, where does everyone have the volume knobs set, I read 3/4's which is where I have mine.?
But what cables do you have?That makes all the difference!
