Ray: Great idea to sell HT. Here's why: There is simply much more media available for a well-put-together 2 channel system, especially a SET one.
I have gone from solid state to push/pull tube to SET setups, and I haven't looked back. (You can check in with my system on systems page.) What's more, I think that I have not only achieved the sound I want, I have also gotten the performance I want for a lot cheaper than I could have done ss.
Indeed, My ASL Fox Ki22 with NOS Sylvania 6sn7wgt's up front, right now, is playing all of my CDs and records as good as I've ever hear in my living room. I am a happy camper, and I daresay you will be, too.
My listening today included the Modern Jazz Quartet, White Zombie (it's Holloween, after all), Slipknot, Oingo Boingo (gotta hear Dead Man's Party tonight!), and Red Hot Chili Peppers. Everything sounded great.
My advice: go for it!
