Amp for bookshelves

Unfortunately my 15yo NAD C372 is starting to fail. It’s currently powering some new ELAC DBR62s. I’d like to get something that will take a speaker upgrade some years down the line. Willing to pay for more power than is needed today (I have some old B&W 684s in the basement collecting dust that it could power some day too). I like the 150wpc range because I feel I won’t outgrow that. Of course I’d like better performance than the 372.

Budget $4k ceiling but preferable $2-3k. Located in US. Sitting about 12’ from speakers. I’m against the back wall and room is 20’ wide but one side opens to the dining room.

Currently listening to Dire Straights with the balance cranked to the left so it sounds somewhat balanced (left channel is struggling).

New setup

Just got the ELACs in today and first time using the WIIM Ultra. Powered by a NAD C372 I’ve had sitting around forever. Nice to have something again (well kinda, I need something to put the right one one). I promise I took the right one down, but had to give em a listen!

Deadlifts

Overcorrected from last 2 vids? Feel like my armpits are too far forward now but it’s way more back than I’ve ever done in DLs, feels wrong but I know previous wasn’t right.. thanks

Deadlift update

Ok I’m a bit updated on form since last post, reviewed the auto video and made the modifications (at least I think). Hit me. I think I’ll be told I’m still too low on the hips, but I don’t feel like I can change that with the mid foot bar/shin against bar aspect.
