Are they 80 or 92mm fans? You are correct  You can realize the same volume of air delivery at lower noise levels by running 2 or more fans slower. Increasing the intake area for the same volume of flow reduces pressure, turbulence, noise... lots of cool stuff.  :) I'm  not sure what the

I think the KPA-1500 is a very nice amplifier and am happy to won one.  That said, I'd like to see Elecraft find ways to reduce the fan noise, and I believe there are solutions, such as: in "Fan 1" mode: rather than have Fan 1 turn on at full speed with full noise, I'd much prefer to have all 3
