Never mind. While the reboot of macOS did nothing, cycling the amp off then on seems to have gotten by the verification hang. Firmware installed successfully.

> Not my first rodeo, but I must have fouled something up. I have the 2.17 folder (containing the .hex and .rtf files) in the local folder for the KPA1500 utility. The utility says it can talk to the amp. I tell it to download the files. I get the usual firmware download window, but it hangs on the “Verifying file “kpa1500fw217.hex” message. The hang has lasted over 20 minutes now before I did a Force Quit.
