Seems a logical choice to pair with a Wiim Mini or Pro...

The vents especially are so great, how did you cut the enclosure for them without warping?

That is completely bad ass!

With a recent experience of sending back an underwhelming Parasound P6, using an AVR for preamp duties are a lot more attractive for the price and features. Using an old legacy Adcom preamp does certainly make me appreciate a good solid stand alone preamp for sure though. Short of the Parasound...

TM Noble from Schiit responded to me when I asked if I could use a pair of the Freya S presets to an amp, and then another set to a powered sub. His reply was yes- "currently use a SVS subwoofer with my Freya S and a pair of KEF LS50's. Works just fine for me!" Hope this helps in some way.

The mahogany is the prettiest to me, I purchased a pair with stands for my father and was instantly jealous- sound and aesthetics.

For what it's worth, I didn't even need a 3 channel but when I was paying attention to specs in the Monolith amps I noticed something interesting. The 3 channel gets a bigger toroidal than the 2 channel which makes sense. I chose to get the 3 channel to have the extra beefy toroidal for my 2.1...

I find it crazy you were sent a B stock amp without any indication, bizarre. That being said, I wouldn't give up if you are tight on funds. Get three Outlaw 2220's, try to get another Monolith X3, or go right to ATI like others have suggested. There was a nice Anthem 3 channel I kept looking at...

Make sure that sub is really 8 ohms, I killed a Niles 2100 running it bridged with a 4 ohm sub, which was likely dipping into lower ohms. Had I not stupidly bridged the Niles, it would have very well lived. The Outlaw 2200 that replaced it with is happy running the 4ohm sub now.

I own the 3 channel Monolith, zero complaints. Has been running a pair of Snell towers for almost a year now without any issues whatsoever. Made by ATI. You could also run 3 monoblocks like the Outlaw 2220s. Those have been reviewed here and did well.

Listening fatigue= Klipsch:p:p

Let your fingers do the typing my friend, plenty of pictures online and a solid review here.

I would say absolutely. Super easy to drive too.

I'm not a super headphone savvy person, but my AKG 371's have good bass response for me. Much better than the Hifiman HE400i open backs I compared them to.

Gone already!
