A pair of JE Labs Simple 45s optimized for 2A3s.
Amps are vertically stacked into bi-amped Altec 604-8Ks in 9 cu ft boxes.
 The sound is stunning, I may never build again (except for the expected Moreplay upgrade).

I posted here May 2023. Then, I was running either a Nobsound 6P1 or ACA mono blocks, of those, I slightly preferred the ACA's but not strongly so and kept switching back and forth. Later in 2023 I got interested in class D and bought a Hypex Nilai 500, which I quickly developed a strong preference for and it became my daily driver. Last month I completed Stereomour II, and after a thorough comparison with the Nilai, I definitely prefer the Stereomour. I think I have found my endgame in the Moreplay & Stereomour II.

Connected up my just completed Moreplay Friday afternoon and all worked first try - turns out I'm still OK at the soldering game. 

Amplifier is an (old) Parasound HCA-1500A and speakers are (new-ish) JBL 4309 stand mount studio monitors.  Was a bit concerned with the "low" input impedance specification of the amp but no issues; finding my normal listening level is with the Voilume turned up only about 20%.  Did turn the amp gain down from full to ~75% after first plugging it in and balanced the LR gains at the amplifier using REW.

All in all couldn't be happier.

Just finished the Moreplay upgrade and using it my kitchen with Overnight Sensation speakers. Sounds great and fills the first floor of my house.
Thanks to all Bottlehead. Forgot to mention I'm using a S3X amp.
