Thank you for continued input. Here's where I'm at: considering Glow tube amp ( 1 or2), or Jolida fx 10 or 102rc, or 202brc if I can get one used in my price range. I have abandoned the in wall speaker idea and am considering glow speakers (cool bullet design), ZU cube (very efficient at 98db). I looked at and liked Omego super3''s (bottom ported; but too tall). I am setting up for a future compact subwoofer in a lower shelf or maybe triad in floor.
Has anyone experience with glow amps or speakers? I would need to balance the cost of the zu''s with hopefully a less expensive amp because of their high efficiency, although I need to check impedance at lower frequency of zu's. The glow amps come with an inexpensive dac and USB connection. Certainly learning a few things, hopefully making progress.
