Wow, thank you for the explanation about lower frequencies! I had no idea. Learning something new every day!
Here is the feedback from CC Poon at Monarchy about an email I sent him inquiring about both of his amp. I used quite a bit of the information in your posts and described my application. Here is what he wrote:
Our SE-100 is a single-ended amp. The Hot and Cold Signals from the XLR are fed into the same input. (Hence "SE" )
The only True Balanced Amp we make is our SM-70 PRO, which uses two amps for a channel: one channel for Hot signal; the other amp for Cold signal.
Other than the architecture, the two amps are similar in size and price.
Both amps should met your needs for hum free, and good damping.
So, what do you think? Velodyne, Gallo or Monarchy? If Monarchy, which pair?
I don't have room treatments, though after I get all my equipment purchased, I will focus on that next.
