You will be able to describe your experience, rather than sticking to the rules. You're probably missing out on better sound. You have it at your fingertips.
Greg, I am happy for you that the impedance mismatch is working for you. I assume you are using the 8 ohm tap. The Blade has a nominal impedance of 4 ohm and a minimal of 3.2 so there's not much stress on the 1.25, about the same amount as with my XVX running off the 4 ohm tap with minimum impedance of 1.6 ohm.

You went from an Alexia V2 to a Blade. That's a big step down in price but apparently to you not in sound quality. Did you run your Alexia off the 8 ohm tap?

Best
