This question is posted as I ponder an audio future without ML2s. It looks like my speakers will be around 92/93 dB, with plenty of large motors to drive. Yes, it will be multi-channel (5); but still each channel needs more power. Since I am not a habitual shopper, I really have no idea what is out there. It has been almost 25 years since I owned SS amps. For the past 12 years or so I have used SETs.
What turns out to be a big issue is the back EMF (or something) from the large drivers. It seem like even when volume/loudness is not an issue, most amps either "over-tighten" or they "let go" when there's serious work to do.
I realize that context is important, but I have only heard the big class D amps in the "pro" installations, and I am not interested in this sort of sound for my "playback".
Please do not suggest the ML3s. I will not be spending that kind of money, at least not for a while. Also, I suppose I need yet more power.
