Ran the LL up until last month when I switch the head unit and was happy with where I was. Since I upgraded Im back in tinkering mode I guess, and the DSR1 was the on I was looking at. I'm in no rush and prefer the buy once cry once mindset, so I guess we will see what happens when others chime in who know way more than me.

The Soundigital 2400.4 (4ohm version) would power all 8 of your speakers with ease. Each set paralleled to 2ohms on every channel then tuned with a DSP. It's spendy, but it's a nice amp.
Running it in this configuration would give you up to 300 watts per speaker.

If you bump up to lids you'll have 4 sets of speakers. All 4ohm so you could parallel each set. Fairing on Ch1, Lowers on Ch2, Tourpack on Ch3, and Lids on Ch4. You would use 4 channels of the DSP. Those 4 channels would individually tune each SET of speakers. That's just one way to do it. Lots of ways to skin the cat. Just gotta think outside the box.
When I was playing The Great Gig In The Sky and Money (Dark Side Of The Moon) the other day I didn't even really notice the stereo effects while riding. The Boom! HU doesn't even have a L/R balance as I recall.
I could do this with my 4180 (each set in parallel on it's own channel) and use the front/rear fader to get better balance between the SVs in the lowers and the 7.1s in the fairing. Sort of a poor man's way to get around one of my issues anyway.
Guess I'd want a DSP to blend the L/R inputs though. Anyway something to think about.
