"However, this brings troubles in the field of electromagnetic interference. My wifi staying near was almost paralysed." ???

I completely understand where you're coming from. A sprinkling of just the right added distortion components is more "entertaining" to my ear than a squeaky-clean signal. My Pass Aleph 3 circuit-based monoblocks with their two (2) amplification stages consisting of a single VFET front end...

I'm using V3 Monos and V3 Stereos in DIY 4-way/7-driver speakers. Fortunately all the V3 Monos are I have are the same vintage (early, but just after the first production run) so they all "match."

Add to this list the Netflix app in the LG C2 evoOLED, probably other LG models, too.

I use an AVR strictly as a "side chain" Dolby Digital processor in an Atmos system, out of the signal path of my main front left/right channels for 2-channel stereo sources. The front L/R Pre-Outs on ther AVR are a "stereo analog source" on an outboard "passive" analog stereo selector/volume...

That's right.

I have 6 early Fosi Audio V3 Monos with 31dB/25dB gain switches that don't do anything. Some early production irregularities, I guess. I haven't measured the actual gain on these units.

Has OP considered putting a resistor between his SET amplifier and his 115dB-efficiency speakers?

Yes. That's why I sit 1.8 meters from the speakers.

My "503" (not a 505) doesn't seem to be shutting down on extended pink noise when I'm running acoustics tests anymore. Update related, you think? (I only uses it as a Dolby Atmos processor.)

I'm using V3 Monos to drive a pair of ESS Heil AMT "Large" tweeters above 2000Hz, and contemplating Topping B100s instead. Looking forward to comparisons. I know ti measures quieter and cleaner, but audibly so? (I'm guessing not.)

I've noticed this new styling from a range of new SMSL products. It's nice to see there's promising performance behind the pretty faceplates.

I have 6 Fosi Audio V3 Monos. They drive the 4 Ohm 12" woofers and ESS Heil AMT tweeters in the stereo pair of custom DIY dipoles I built. No issues at all. One of them went into protection mode when I inadvertently shorted the output, but of course they're supposed to do that.

There are professional power amplifiers from Crown (and others?) with built-in DSP.

I've been a "dipole man" for nearly 40 years. I've owned and enjoyed more conventional speakers like JBL, KEF and Tannoy, but I gravitate to Acoustat, Magnepan and Quad, and my own DIY dipoles. In addition to their freedom from box coloration, and their unique open, airy soundfield, ESLs and...

AI images tend to give "people" a wax museum quality.

How about just realizing you learned something today and moving on?

Like it or not, "mid-century modern" is a widely used term in architecture, decor and industrial design circles that refers to design from the middle of the 20th century. I never dreamed its meaning would be called into question. I assumed it was more widely recognized.

So they could hang the TV on the wall behind the console. Speaking of TVs over a fireplace: it gives me a severe neck ache. I don't know how anyone can tolerate it.
