IDK about new, but I found some massive old passive 4-way kenwood LJL1104's out front of a neighbor's house on garbage day. Took them home, cleaned them up, they sound great with my old yamaha receiver (an old pyle audio one was NOT pushing enough watts) Driving a 15 inch woofer passively is... challenging. I love the old kenwoods, they really do fill up the sound in my open floorplan kitchen/living room with 12 foot ceilings. But I do really want to replace them. I just have no idea what budget options are out there for my space. I got the swan OS10's the other day for my bedroom TV (amazing BTW) but tried them briefly on my living room setup and near-field does NOT sound good in that room, lol. would like to see some reviews for passive/active budget options there.

I'm trying to figure out what's going on with the headphone setup?? I heard that Fosi is coming out with something similar soon. Was wondering if you got 2 of these if you could then have each run individually into left and right? Then you could use each volume as a balance control? I have hearing imbalance and that would be awesome. I own the Xduo MT604 for that reason. Maybe the only reason to do that would be for extremely hard to drive headphones? I must have missed the video where you talked about using an amp like this to drive headphones. I love the sound of my Fosi V3. Killer sound and am using it to drive towers in my living room! Getting 2 of these little guys for possible headphone use has me asking questions damn it! :)

I run twin monoblock Aiyima A07Max with Burr brown opa 2604 opamps and 48 volt power supplies. 380 watts in 8 ohms stereo. Combined with the Fosi q4 dac and a Fosi tube pre amp. Sounds crazy good for the money. $250 in total. It knocks my $2100 Arcam FJM32 straight out of the park.

Correction on Aiyima 07 MAX, it’s a 36 volt 6 Amp PSU not 32 v like Fossi V3, it’s AUX 3.5 jack is literally a Y splitter for RCA inputs, it’s not volume regulated and doesn’t turn off when amp is off, can not use for subwoofer out or you’ll change the volume separately on the sub and the amp. It sounds better than AO200MKII but doesn’t get as loud on stock PSU, but loud enough. Can change out opamps in Aiyima, but stock ones sound pretty good. Getting sparkos in it tomorrow 🙌 30%OFF on their site right now!!
