My trusty of Marantz MM-9000 power amplifier spent the last few years dying one channel at a time and I've been running all my speakers off my receiver for close to a year. I bought a bunch of Fosi V3 power amps almost a year ago for a future active speaker project that is looking more future all the time. It seemed silly to just sit on a pair of 300 watt (4 Ohm) mono-blocks, and two 300 watt (4 Ohm) stereo amplifiers when my main amp was dead. My speakers are all 8 Ohm, so these work out to being the same 150 Watts as the amp they are replacing. You only get the full power rating with 48v power supplies, which I have on the mono-blocks and one of the stereo amp. The second stereo amp is on a 24v power supply, but is only driving a pair of Paradigm Mini Monitor v2 surround speakers and should be more than adequate.
The amps are not the only pieces of gear I've been sitting on. I bought a Wiim Ultra about a year back to use as a preamp in the aspirational dedicated 2-channel system I mentioned above. It is a top-notch streamer and I've been wanting to set it up for a long time, but time never permitted. The same applies to the top-tier Sofabaton remote/hub I also bought a while back to replace my poor departed Harmony. I put the other one I bought in my family room a long time ago, but just never had the time to deal with the main system.
So, all that being said, guess what I started doing today?
