Advice on Quad power amps.

Probably best to live with it for a while and then swap back to the little bear. Forget detail and all that rubbish, it's the one you enjoy the most that's important. Might be worth trying it on the 306 too.

Its not only detail, its presence, pace, etc (and things I can't really describe). To be honest, its just such a nice clear sound, I love it, but my 909 is so hot you could fry an egg on it.

That doesn't sound right.

Barely even warm now, think I must have been pushing the volume a bit, but felt I had to, to get that visceral feeling from the music, don't think the Khozmo is a good match for the 909, too tinny, no projection to the music, What to try next, Croft pre?

What to try next

Alternative speaker cables? You never know, they can affect the balance.

The Khozmo does do good things mind you. Just a shame its only got 1 input. Might be worth further listening. Would like to try a Croft, though rarely see them used.

No way, I just paid £100 for these QED ones new!

XT-40.

Ah. Not tried that one, but the Silver Anniversary sounded awful every time I've used it.
