I used a plate amp from an old Paradigm sub. That really did work well.
I upgraded to monoblock A1s for the mains.
Yes you see far fewer light colored cloth.
Do your's happen to have consecutive serial numbers?
Picture from your listening spot right now!

It looks like you are using Emotiva monoblocks as well.
Yes, XPA-1L’s. Non-consecutive S/N’s there as well. Seems counterintuitive if not stupid on Emotiva’s part to make a big deal with the front S/N plaques and expressly Not provide consecutive pairs.
On the other extreme, my new pair of B&O M70’s came in the same big ass carton along with their stands all the way from Denmark. They wanted to make sure their continuous rosewood veneer cut from the same sheet got to the owner every time.

My current listening spot.
An Adcom GFA-545II powers the main speakers.
Eventually those speakers will be replaced with a pair of Advent Maestro which will be tri-amped with the 545II, the 535II I need to repair and another 535II.
A Carver TFM-25 in bridged mode powers the two CV woofers. They will eventually be replaced by proper subs for those 3 cu ft sealed boxes.

Very nice!I went back to my full tube based, Kenny Russell built, set up with the Klipsch Fortes and a Rel T5X sub. Did a bit of tube rolling and am just sitting back listening to the John Coltrane Quartet.

Series 1 Bose 901’s in the loft of a 400sf park model trailer we have as a get-a-way in Washington State. At our home I could never get these to sound all that great. Elevated in this small space they sound fabulous powered by an anemic Yamaha receiver. Loud, proud, and clear! Go figure!
Very nice, clean room. Great ceilings.
That little spot of blue light is what’s really interesting!Just to change things up a bit, pulled out the Odyssey amps and Maggies, and put in a single NuPrime STA-9 amp and highly upgraded GR-Research X-Statiks.

Hold up--is the cat real, or is that just a statue?Just to change things up a bit, pulled out the Odyssey amps and Maggies, and put in a single NuPrime STA-9 amp and highly upgraded GR-Research X-Statiks.
Also, this is some sort of full-Inception thing looking at a picture of somebody else's hi-fi setup on the screen in your hi-fi setup.

How do you like Dirac Live? I’ve been using it for several years now with great results.

Simply phenomenal!
Combined, left, and right sweeps. Just amazing!
And a beautiful day off work for an afternoon listening session, so here are pics from my listening position.

Yup! That's a real cat alright. His name is Edgar. He likes amps, including the little STA-9. For a Class D amp, it gets and stays rather toasty.
How's this for "full-inception"? My system was featured on Steve Guttenberg's YouTube channel several years back, where he said my system was made up of "a lot of Schiit". LOL
Check out the video, about a minute and 30 seconds into the video...
