Good to read that you had a positive consultation with Rob at CSS. Thank You for citing the Protectant 303 and Silver solder.

Happy Listening!

Jafant, I'm currently using a JK Acoustics Passive 5, which is an old school design from The Netherlands. Very minimalist when it comes to the number of components.

Great to hear that you've experienced both, I'd bee interested to hear your experiences! Since I'm in no real rush to upgrade, I'm also considering holding out for a hybrid design which runs on pure class A when little power is required.

@lars888888 Power output into 4 Ohms isn’t that relevant. Power output into 2 Ohms is. Look for something with between 400 and 1600 Watts into 2 Ohms. Personally I would look for something with at least 800 Watts into 2 Ohms.

There is not much difference between the 3b and 4b-st other than power ratings. Both amps have the Bryston house sound. Both amps can be matched nicely with Tube or SS pre-amps.

Which hybrid design amp are you considering? What other Gear is in your System?

Happy Listening!

@thieliste thank you for your opinion and experience on Gaia feet. A question, do you have hard floor type or carpet under your 3.7s ? My set of Gaia has arrived and now I'm curious to test them, meanwhile have also sourced a set of spikes that were not included with the speakers I purchased. So, it's time to make some comparison and decide what I like better.
