Best sounding low power (under 80watts) Class AB amp?
From my own experience, my recommendation is a Luxman M117 integrated. It’s a classic now, but can be serviced/renewed if required.  
You had Theta in the past, what did you move onto?
Your opinion is justified and I can appreciate your position. To me, purity is equally important for movies. Some of the best musical soundtracks are incorporated into movies that are experienced in a home theater. Personally, I appreciate the hig... 
You had Theta in the past, what did you move onto?
@erik_squires  I've never experienced a Theta pre/pro, but I have talked in depth with several owners that moved from the Casablanca V on to the Trinnov. Per "their" ownership experience, the move to a Trinnov Altitude provided better if not equa... 
Proceed HPA2 blinking.
Sounds like one of your amp modules has gone bad. Pyramid Audio in Austin, TX can repair it for you.  
Distributed Bass Array configuration
Does the DBA/Swarm system work equally well for home theater?

Help me understand "the swarm" in the broader audiophile world

Help me understand "the swarm" in the broader audiophile world
Does the swarm system work equally as well for home theater and music listening? I am 90% HT use and powerful, room shaking, chest pounding bass is what I’m looking for. I currently have a single Seaton Submersive with dual opposed 15” drivers. I ...

Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles?
To the OP- What a stupid question. 
Theta Dreadnaught with the McIntosh MX121?
An amplifiers compatibility with a system has more to do with your speakers than your processor. I’m positive the dreadnaught will be as good as any other amp with your MX121. The big questions are what are your speakers, how big is your room, how... 
Anyone Else Using an Audio Kinesis Swarm or Debra Distributed Bass Array System?
Could a system like the HSU ULS15 quad system be made into a swarm array?  
30.7 MAGNEPAN Tour in Indy
Totally irrelevant, but nice to see people near Indy! I live in Floyd county (southern Indiana) but I’m in Indy almost weekly for work. I’ll be in Noblesville this Thursday.@noble100, your posts regarding sub-swarming have captured my curiosity la...
