Sub woofer
If you want a great reasonably priced sub why are you not considering a Revel B110? Typical overbuilt Revel.  
Paradigm and Revel
bob Reynolds: I totally agree that a sub can greatly improve overall bass quality even with large speakers due to room issues. I use an awesome sub with main speakers that no one would think would be used with a sub. The key is to hear great bass ... 
Best full range loudspeaker for the used price of 10 to 13,000 dollars
you can buy something off beat and unknown or you can go revel salon's and be at the top in this price range . great speakers designed by a master. 
Paradigm and Revel
just can't think of paradigm being in same category as revel. if F206's are boring the system has serious issues. for two channel music i can imagine that a sub wouldn't be necessary. revel is one of the best buy's in audio today imo and i don't o... 
Do blown preamp tubes cause other issues?
very glad to hear.

Will suggest Revel Salons again. Will compete with virtually anything. Big mistake to not at least try to hear a well set up pair although buying blind is safe. Great is great. Look at 2017 TAS editors choice speakers.  
Forte Model 55 Amp
If memory serves me correctly Nelson Pass was involved with its design. Maybe not but worth an email.  
ARC Ref 5se inferior to LS28?
bdp24: very well put but perhaps too logical for what is an emotional crowd, myself included. From a business model standpoint ARC has done a great job keeping the type of customer they have in pocket by tapping into the emotional element of their... 
ARC Ref 5se inferior to LS28?
i agree. all tubes much different. as to the dealer i like him very much after doing much business. he is a salesman though and you just factor that in. maybe he really prefers a more solid state sound?  
ARC Ref 5se inferior to LS28?
my guess too. keep the product moving with new and improved. 
the eternal cable question
AQ actually keeps their models out for several years. I would go to their website and hit the pricebook tab. All models and specs for each cable are listed here along with the retail price. Look for cables ideally with perfect surface copper(PSC) ... 
Have you ever tried a pair of speakers and said this Is the last thing I will ever need.
I purchased a pr of Revel Salons about 5 years ago and definitely felt that this was the speaker to say "this is it". It's superior in every way. So why did I just buy a pair of Wilson Yvette's? The something new fever hit and that was that. Concl... 
D'Agostino vs. Ayre
FWIW I have an S-250 driving a new pair of Wilson Yvettes. Nirvana over at my house.

Revel Salon 2. An all time great IMHO. You can buy and keep a very long time.  
New Revel 208 BE, giant killer?
Frankly the F208 and F206 punch way beyond their price range so Kevin V's next speaker most likely be another overperforming speaker. The guy is an awesome designer. IMHO..
