Equipment Recommendations - The Home For New System and Upgrade Advice

The Lintons are specced at 90db sensitivity, which isn't bad at all. I think you'd be shocked how little power they're actually receiving at typical listening volumes.

I'd wager I operate my Fortes at less than 6W most of the time.

Yeah totaly. I know tubes don’t need quite the same headroom as solid state but they run absolutely fine on either triode or ultra linear on my PL

Are those Lintons crazy efficient? Is it possible they're running on such lower power that it's not moving the needle?

So, factory reset and firmware update fixed several things including the needles. Maybe it was pissed that I installed BluOS before ever powering it on? To @Mather's point though, the needles are barely moving at modest volume levels but definitely climb when pushing the volume. Operation burn in is underway.
 
So down is output to speakers (and default). This will be affected by turning volume up. In this mode I saw little movement unless cranked.

Up is input from source and will reflect the dynamics of the music. Will definitely move, even with Bluetooth (just not as fun because of resolution)

I think I would turn off and reset. Remember the power switch is actually on the back.

You'll see more movement with bass-heavy music. Takes more spark.
