Ok, I hear you. But if you have only heard the plain vanilla ACA, don't underestimate the difference the premium parts make. Maybe it's the SE sound I like, but to me it's just so special. And even better in near field on a desk. I use it in my office with FR Karlsonator speakers.
I'm a huge ACA fan, but at 5x the power at 8ohm and 8x at 4ohm, M2 is quite another animal, no?
Absolutely. But the request by @BeardyWan was for "the purposes of simplifying a small desktop mini system".
As the happy owner of both an M2 and ACA with Premium Parts, I thought the ACA might be more suitable.

I've run mine on a pair of these with the outputs wired in series. Can't say much more about it other than it did work, no magic smoke. Like the above mentioned, I built the ACA for portability and enjoyed it so much I haven't gotten back around to the "portable" m2.As a happy builder & user of M2 I have a memory of seeing a schematic for an M2 that had been modified to accept a single ended supply. I'd like to revisit it for the purposes of simplifying a small desktop mini system but my google foo is failing me. Does this ring a bell for anyone?
trying to build 3 way with 4ohm car drivers which ended 3ohm. is it safe to connect M2 without any protector circuit? will it be kaboom?
i have used M2 with minidsp active setup, never used any passive speaker yet.
