Audia Flight

[Shocky111]

Your description here sounds much more like out-of phase operation than any lack of class A .. bias

XLR pins outs are the same from the Audia Flight FLS1 out to the No 8 in. Pin 2 is +, Pin 3 is -. if oit of phase, 2 and 3 would be flipped at one or the other connection. Am I not seeing the bigger picture? And thank you for jumping in, much appreciated.

Ok you flipped the phase on one side and there’s no difference , it didn't get worse or change in anyway ..?

Correct.

Back to my original post, XLR Interconnect on both ends had swapped signal and ground pins , so the amp saw signal on a ground and ground on a signal pin. The resulting hum was horrid. Has this damaged the amp in a way my audio quality is horrid. Same gear with Parasounds JC 1+ sounded amazing.

Flipping the positive and negative at one speaker and hearing no difference is even stranger than the sound you are describing from your AF gear.

Main reason for responding to this thread. I was in Montreal last month and heard the Marten Mingus Quintet 2's, powered by the Strumento No1 pre and No4 Power amp and sound was friggin fabulous. Huge bass without boom, beautiful mids, and incredible detail and transparency without being bright.
