Re: Life after Sierra-2: The usual redundant "where next" question (preference 2.0)
I missed that you only have 40 watts on a Class D amp in a small room. I used a Class D 30 watt amp on bookshelf speakers once and yeah, harsh is the first word I would use to describe it.
You should consider buying a more powerful amp. I love Emotiva amps, personally.
