Nope no dance parties. Just me myself and I when tbe house is empty and crank it up and enjoy. I do enjoy to listen to it loud once in a while but it breaks up when it gets loud right now. The amp runs out of juice. It gets messy.
When the time comes I should just get both, passive lfr and standard passives and compare.
In the meantime sounds like an ADA 1000 will do it.
I just realized I’ll have a chance to try all my axioms with the za-1000, when it finally arrives. It’s coming to my house. It’s basically an Ada-1000 as an integrated amp. .

The new Active LFR are getting powered by two 5 channel ADA1500 and I can not personally that I am hearing the night and day improvement from regular listening volumes. The Active can get louder than my old ones. I have set my Pre to limit the volume to -15db. Working on the concept that sound volume doubles every 10db, I know full well that I could if I wanted to get the speakers to be 8 times louder than what I have it limited to and maybe it is at those levels that the 1500 would shine well about the 1000 that I had, and my experience is contained in just not listening to music loud enough. Congrats on the actives ... I have the same configuration not because I thought I'd need 1500s but because Axiom had a deal on that package I could not pass up. There is no way I'd ever use even 1/2 that power ... even for a party unless perhaps if I was to setup outside for listeners 25-100' down the road .... Of course there is the self fulfilling use case ... if you enjoyed them at 1/2 volume and lost your hearing ... you might need to go a little louder the next time

An ADA-1500-5 is being sold second hand. $1800. It’s still got 3 years warranty. Stupid captain obvious question here…. If I get a 5 channel but only need / want 2 will the amplifier still deliver 2 channel specs ? I think the answer is yes. Any negatives here to having 5 channels? Could be good for future upgrades, like going to a 5.1 or 5.2. Thoughts gentlemen? Here’s the ad. https://www.canuckaudiomart.com/details/649867540-axiom-ada-1500-5/

Yes it will give you the 2 Chan specs if your not using the other 3 Any negatives here to having 5 channels? . The 3 other amps will still be on (when not in stand-by) creating ~40 watts more heat than the 2 Chan version

Here’s the ad. https://www.canuckaudiomart.com/details/649867540-axiom-ada-1500-5/I think that's a ridiculously good price for the amp. Agree with rrlev on the power consumption though.
