Line Magnetic LM-845 Premium - How quiet is it?

I’m looking seriously at this beast to power Spatial X5. Is it pretty quiet? Any LM-845P users out there experiencing any issues with hum or other noise? With 97db speakers, even a little hum could bum, bigtime. Any other informed thoughts on this pairing are also welcome. Thanks in advance.

My buddy and I both have 845 premiums and they are dead quiet on my Tekton and Devore speakers, both 96db

That's really good to know.

Hey, while I have you, @jlarryk , can you tell me how tall the amplifier unit is? Just the chassis with the tubes. Everywhere I look online, the amplifier unit is listed as being 460mm high. That's 18.1 inches just for the one chassis. I have a feeling this is a misprint, and tht 18.1 is for both chassis stacked. At least I hope so.  Can you confirm, please?

The base (with speaker connections) is about 7 inches with the feet.  The actual tube portion of the amp is about 12 or so inches to the top of the 845 tubes and 11 or so inches to the top of the back transformers.  I do not have the cage on which probably adds some height
