McIntosh 2.1kw amplifier?
So much hatred and disgust here. @emergingsoul , I am just a curious fellow. You seem to post a lot, of benign things that seem to matter a lot to you, making me wonder if you ever take time to listen to music. BTW, the new Infinity QX80, with Kli... 
Using PA Speakers In A Home "Audiophile" Application!
Not many speakers can output ’ what I want, and expect ’, out of a speaker. Every time I listen, I am truly blown away by the " experience ". Listening through my Lascalas, at the decibels I enjoy, it IS an experience. Let me just say....I use an ...

When Paul Klipsch designed / introduced the Lascala, it was for PA use. I was the 1st in Brooklyn to have a pair for home use...going back a ways.  
Anyone own a Red Rose Preamp?
@geworthomd The Mantissa being spoke of is a preamp. My best, MrD.  
Recommend a non-polite sounding amp / integrated
@cdc Yes sir !  
Eliminated my preamp with amazing results
As many who know of me here, I have been generally barking up the tree, how wonderful my totl single ended Luminous Audio passive has been. Recently, I acquired from my friend rawsonte ( negative comments keep to yourselves ), a diy FW F4. Obvious... 
Recommend a non-polite sounding amp / integrated
Just as an fyi. I am enjoying a recent acquisition to my ’small’ amp collection ( small = quantity ). LOL. Not funny actually, as I have WAY too many amps ( and preamps ), all over my place. DIY FW F4, by my friend rawsonte ( keep all negative com...

Yes, it is a Warp One.....And btw, what does 'non polite' mean ? My interpretation of a non polite amp would be the old Crown DC 300.   
Recommend a non-polite sounding amp / integrated
I had an LSA Time Warp for 3 weeks, purchased from Wally. It was horrible in my system....used passive, pre with gain, could not get it to do anything well. However, my best bud also bought one at same time ( on my recommendation no less ), and he... 
Who owns / owned a First Watt F4, and what are your experiences with it ?
@armstrod @paullb and anyone else interested. I have owned a few rawsonte diys in the past, but never bought them from Tim himself....always 2nd or 3rd owner, some NP designs, and some chip designs. My experience with those particular amps of Tim’...

@armstrod ​​@paullb Thank you for the responses, as any 1st hand information is helpful. My best, MrD  
A little gift for my fellow audiophiles
The Usher P 307 A is a great preamp....one of the better I have owned / heard...just as an fyi. Enjoy ! MrD.  
Preamp Gain issues with high efficiency speakers
I am a Luminous fan, and have much respect for Tim Stinson, the head honcho there. Properly matched with your amp and speakers, the Axiom Walker mod units are ime, the most transparent of them all. My best, MrD.  
Circle Labs A200 Integrated amplifier review - It will appeal to both tube and SS lovers……
FYI : One is now posted on USAM, purchased new 5 months ago, selling at a very attractive price. Enjoy ! MrD.  
Any normal size speakers that sound like Volti
OP, they look fine there. Your wife is not interested in how wonderful they sound to you, nor are those visitors you speak of. I have always had a dedicated listening room, and not seeing the wife / spouse / partner is always temporary. I need my ...
