Paper Moon is one of my favorites of all time. A good movie just 90 minutes or so of good entertainment. I cannot stand movies today. They sell them as life changing events. Nah just occupying some free time for me. Overdone phony and the inclusion of politics makes me ill.

That is a previous generation PA3. Here are the (current generation) PA3s numbers.

Only way I see that happening is angry spouse divorce proceedings.

I've no idea how WIndows became the dominant OS. This is typed on a 15 year old iMac with a 7 year old OS that is reliable as a rock. I've never owned anything but Apple since the '80s. OS9 was...uhm....errr...challenging. Yeah that's it challenging.

I don't measure I listen. And it's quiet.

My Topping PA3s is dead silent with my Heresy 1. Or I cannot hear it. Hearing fades around 14Khz.

Got to find somewhere to plant veggies, rocks, rocks everywhere!
Yes we did. Sad what's happened.

There's always one. 🙄 Not interested regardless.

If I ever get to the point of needing the pills I'll just find another hobby.

I returned to listening on a decent system a few years ago after using a computer for a decade due to living situation. Picked up a rebuilt Fisher 440T receiver and needed speakers. Found a budget pair of Klipsch on sale from Klipsch. Recalled seeing and hearing some many years before. For the price they sounded wonderful.
That led me on a search for a pair of Heresy. After a couple years found a nice pair of original H1. Then picked up a KG SW sub from a member here. Next will be a pair of La Scala when I get the scratch saved up. I enjoy the clarity and detail they deliver.

I have 1987 klipsch La Scalla's in a 17 X 17 room with high ceilings and have driven them by
Crown XLS 1002
Two-channel, 350W @ 4Ω Power Amplifierand now by a Decware Zen Torii Jr V2 https://www.decware.com/newsite/TORIIJR.html 20 wattsSound out of my La Scalla's is great with both and I think you can enjoy your system with either tube or non tube. The Crown amp never went past 1/4 volume the the Decware less than halfI think a good quiet Pre amp will make either sound better, I use a Schiit Audio Freya S ( no longer available ) and using a XLR connection between the two is recommendedEnjoy the MusicThanks. I'm just kicking the idea of moving up around.

And, it really doesn't get very hot. After all, it is only pumping out 8 watts maximum, and you're never going to get there with your Klipsch...maybe 1-2 watts. Of course, it is a kit, but I'm sure you can find one already built if you look. Still, if you're happy with your Topping, you can just leave well enough alone.
Leave well enough alone? Sure that's always an option. 😉

They do have occasional sales. Never on Heritage sadly.

Currently the Modi3+ is used with my WiiM mini/Schiit Saga S/Topping PA3s/H1/KG SW. It sounds great. I had first tried the Topping with the H1 through a Logitech Bluetooth adapter using my phone. Sounded like a 1960s transistor radio. Couldn't stand it and the Topping moved to the bedroom. Got bored awhile ago and brought it out and inserted where the receiver was w/o the Logitech doodad. Viola good clean detailed sounds I enjoyed. Moved the Fisher to the bedroom and left the Topping in the main used (cranked all the way)as a power amp after the Schiit pre.

Saddest part is when all these great designers go software replaces them. And IMHO the results are best case mediocre. Worst case hideous.
R.I.P. Marcello you will be missed.

I used my '09 iMac optical output into my Fisher 440T via a Schiit Modi3+. Significant difference. By a surprising amount to me.

[b]How do you adjust the volume with three amplifiers to get the right balance from the three separate drivers? [/b]
Will I be able to upgrade a pair of 1972 Khorns?
Three amps -- plus maybe a subwoofer amp. I don't suppose high quality tube amps and expensive tubes would be cheaper if they only had to cover the narrower spectral range of each driver.
I suppose there's no end in sight--I ducked going from mono to stereo until 1972. Maybe in my 90s I'll go the triple-amp route.
I believe that is the DSP's job. But I could be very wrong.

Yes it is one of the best recordings from that era. Real enjoyable at higher volume too.
EDIT: You made me play it. Loud.
