small footprint Class A mono blocks and pre amplifier

Hello br3098,

     No, because he's not being logical and could burn down his house.

     How about a high quality but compact preamp like the Jeff Rowland Design Group Capri2? It’s 2.6”(H) x 13.7” (W) x 6.2” (D), has optional internal phono and dac boards, is fully balanced and and comes with an aluminum remote. Here’s a link:

     Then just choose your class A monoblocks regardless of size, mount them on amp stands and position one behind or next to each speaker, connect each to your preamp with balanced xlr cables and run high quality speaker cables that are as short as possible from each amp to each speaker.
     Ideally, it'd be wise to use fully balanced class A monos with balanced xlr inputs for optimum performance, but it's not required.

   I think you're demonstrating poor judgement and rushed buying decisions.  
    Have you ever even considered or listened to a single high quality stereo or pair of monoblock class D amps with your speakers? The newer ones are compact, sip electricity, can be left on 24/7,sound very good to excellent and run cool to the touch.   If not, you're displaying poor judgment, failing to consider all viable options and have seriously rushed your purchasing decision.
     Have you ever used class A amps?  Yes, many of the expensive ones sound very good but most mainly consist of heatsinks.  They're mostly big, heavy, electricity gulping space heaters that force us to soul search, contemplate our values, search for alternative amp solutions and, in the meantime while we're doing so, either turn down the heat or turn up the AC.
     In any case, I would not advocate placing any class A amp in an enclosed space unless you enjoy melting stuff and starting fires. Have you considered a larger and more well ventilated entertainment center?  
     I just sense you're rushing things, not seriously considering alternative valid solutions that are more effective, safer, wiser, comparable in sound quality and won't burn down your house.
     I realize it's your money, system, home and choice.  Of course, you're free to ignore my advice, including my advice to double your homeowner's insurance coverage if you decide to ignore my advice.


Good luck,

Hello thinman2,
