Tube 2nd system for 5k.

How does the cronus differ from the tempest II?

Thanks Sandbox: I may check Don out. Won't be headin south to visit Ed though. Thanks a lot for your informative post.

I was thinking Chinese for bang for the buck. I know almost nothing about tubes other than what they sound like. I would greatly appreciate your omitting Chinese from my question just using the 5k as a guideline. Room is a good size with open staircase leading to upstairs bedrooms.

Thanks maple,

The screename betrays your allegiance. i've heard no such thing about consonance and have demoed it and it sounds good. I'm no expert though.

Take care,

JSONIC

Thanks sandbox

never heard of fi x 2a 3 or hornshoppe. I'll check it out.

I looked up the FI X 2a 3 and since I listen to classic rock bluegrass and some country I think the wattage may be a little low and force me to buy a subwoofer as well. I'd rather not need a subwoofer. Any feedback on this Sandbox?

Rene: I did think the history and design of the FI X looked really cool. I'm not that far from Brooklyn either.
