Can we talk about who has the best designed 1ET400A case now?
And how the color of the case affects the sound quality?

Does anyone lone when higher powered modules will be available?
Usually modding is another word for snake oil. I doubt the problem is anything other than audiophile hypochondria.
If this is not sarcasm, I guess you mean that the only difference between all the 1ET400 implementations will be the case.Can we talk about who has the best designed 1ET400A case now?

I haven’t heard any.Has there actually been talk about higher powered modules? With the trend towards active speakers, there doesn't seem to be that much demand for more than 400-500W per module.
I haven’t heard any.
But with my Maggies, 86 dB/m/2.63V (~83 dB/m/W), accounting for listening distance and headroom, the 450 W Purifi (300W of CLEAN power) is actually just on the edge of and maybe not enough power.

Handy little calculator. This is assuming 3dB of headroom.
Ah, so a theoretical calculation, not something you have verified? Keep in mind that that calculator assumes a free field (so outdoors or in an anechoic chamber). In a real room you need way less.
yeah I was wondering about room gain.
My first choice is would be an AHB2 (~190W), then a Purifi (260-300W), then a NC1200 (500W). I’m really a little concerned about the AHB having enough juice. (These power numbers are clean power, not rated.)
I would first check your impedance minimum and check which amp would do best at that load.
I think maggies are around 4 ohm, and even lower at higher frequencies?
12 feetDistance to the Magnepan 3.7i? To estimate the power you need at 2 Ohms.
this is an impedance curve for the 3.7i I found on the web. Nor sure if it’s accurate.
there is a big dip to 2 Ohm around 500 Hz, and the higher frequencies are round 3 Ohm.
Freq. Resp. 35Hz- 40 kHz
