Is it normal that if I tap on the pre chassis that I can here it slightly in the speakers (like a record player picks up taps and such) just curious Chad

Honest1, you nailed it, babe. I kept my 150lb/each Pass X-600s 6ft behind and towards the center of the two speakers. If I could have put them in an adjoining room without an excessive speaker cable run I probably would have been happier.

I’ve always looked at setups with the mono tube amps next to the speakers and shuddered. To the uninitiated in tube amps (me) it appears that one of the many bass drum whacks in the “Rite of Spring” could turn KT88s into interesting fireworks displays. I’ve been meditating a tube excursion in the near future and would love to read comments by present tube amp owners on this subject.
