Whatever you spend does not always equate to sonic narvana. Although support from ARONOV is not worth a fart, the LS9100s are a good starting point IMHO. My guess is that since they are no longer in the Manf. end of audio, getting a set for a reasonable amount would be an added positive.
THEN: Have them pass through the hands of "JenaLabs.com" Jena Crock, giving her "Carte Blance" to Correct/Uupgrade according to her design principles. (MultiCaps, Jena's silver wire, etc.) or give drop her an email and ask for her ideas.
What you end up with is a "PP" self bias(ing) 100 watt set of Monoblocks that may not be the top of the heap but whatever would be next would not be too far ahead of the Aronovs.
My interest in the R'Nov's was started with comments made by Mr. Risch and the upgrade path to Jena through her reputation within the audio community.
When I win the lottery, a nice pair "DeHav" 845's will be sitting in my room!
Lots of good tube gear out there, part of the deal is spending the time finding and listening to it.
