Wish I could say it was mine, but I've seen it here on AK a few times...
Yes the ChiFi bug can get you, it’s worse given the gear is cheap. My fascination peeked with some Tang Band D4-1 speakers and a knock off 1969 Hood class A amp. This set up sounds really really good together, the little Tang Band fours go lowwww 40Hz in the dense horn cabs.
I did a little mono block set up using a tube pre and some 3.5 inch full range drivers. Pre was $20, amps free, drivers $40. The little drivers are surprisingly good, the pre was quiet but the amps had a very loud noise floor definitely the weak point. The amps you have look exponentially better.

I have heard great things about those Nobsound amps. Those are what got me interested in class D mono amps in the first place. These are dead silent in my near-field setup. Thanks!

I read good things as well. I had to cobble together a bunch of different power supplies, all the correct voltage, but just random thrift store finds. This probably contributed to the noise.

Just some run-of-the-mill banana plugs. I will eventually switch to Mediabridge premade speaker wire terminated with spade connectors.
Picked one of these up from a fellow AK’er to try out. I was pleasantly surprised. When I get sometime I am going to put it on a bench at work and checkout the components and change whatever is out of spec and see how it does.

OOOHHH, they come in silver. Sweet. I'll have to save up and clear it with the CFO / Wife. But yeah, I do believe I'll be getting a pair of these.

Yes, that's what these are. Just seemed a little nicer (rca inputs) than the Nobsound so I thought I'd try 'em. Glad I did!
