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

If you're happy with it and there's no smoke it's all good.

[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.

Listen to them for a bit. If you enjoy the sound leave 'em alone unless something fails.

It was beautiful but they make you pay for the highways... what... four different ways?

You mean the farm above me on the mountain? His family used to own most of the land around here. He seems unhappy about that.

64 degrees and the first heavy pollen day. Guess this will continue for 4-6 weeks.
I am the white dot in the center of this. Trees extend like this for miles in every direction .Springtime can be a bit irritating. Wouldn't give it up for anything.

What,I see from Class D.is they are fine up to rated power That's all you get without nasty sound
Tube amps can he pushed hard and still sound good
I am definitely not going down that road. Spent the past 40 years or so screwing with things for a living. These days I buy what does the job I need it to w/o upgrades high maintenance and troubles. Tube amps are not for me. Not sure I'd wanna deal with class A heat.
Thanks for all the answers and information. Seems like I get watts for dollars from what I can tell. Don't really seem to need 'em. The Topping measures 27 watts at 8Ω. I do use it like a power amp turned all the way up using a preamp for volume. Something to think about.

I'm currently using a Topping PA3s to drive my Heresy 1 and KG SW sub. I like the stark nature of the pairing. It's clean a bit bright and very detailed. The passive sub I use does a good enough job for me as I'm not a big thumping bass fan. My hearing (trails off after 12kHz) may be why. Most of my listening is streaming via Spotify. All this has me intrigued if a significant improvement can be had by stepping up to a higher end/spec class D power amp. It'd be nice if I could keep it under $1K USD. Listen to just about anything. Rap and country are very rare other than that I'm old and tired of the same old same old. I expanded my listening to keep me from hating the music that drew me in in the first place.
So would it be money well spent? I forgot to mention I'm a cheap bastid thus will relentlessly hunt down a deal. Quality second hand is no problem to me.

An Angel visited a woman and told her she must give up smoking, drinking and unmarried sex if she wants to get into Heaven. The woman said she would try her best.
The Angel visited the woman a week later to see how she was getting on.
"Not bad" said the woman, "I've given up smoking and drinking but when I bent over to look in the freezer, my boyfriend caught sight of my long slender legs in high heels and he pulled up my skirt and made love to me right then and there."
"They don't like that in Heaven", said the Angel...
The woman replied: "They're not crazy about it in Costco either!"-

Schiit Saga S pre amp. Picked it up used for a song. Cannot hear the difference other than some gain with the JFET turned on. Exactly what I wanted.

I get a similar effect by leaning back with my hands behind my head. You reflecting sound waves into your ears normally missed. It really is like the photo above.

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.
