Wilson Benesch ACT1 VS Dynaudio Confidence 5
Sounds_real...i agree. but i usually just stick to telling people that for my tastes, i don't mind not hearing the lowest octave.the reason why i take that route (of explanation) is because i know so many people love that "muddy" sound.; ) 
Wilson Benesch ACT1 VS Dynaudio Confidence 5
agree with multiple comments here...i own the curren model ACT's (full disclosure).and yes, they don't reproduce the lowest octave. and for many, that's a deal breaker. but for me, i don't mind the lack of deep bass for my listening tastes.and yes... 
Best EL-34 Amps?
synergy and personal preference are an interesting thing of course.whatever sounds best to your ears, obviously, is what you should go for.our opinions do not matter in the end.needless to say, a 25 watt synthesis integrated is not exactly the sam...

Tube pre-amps $3500 under to add "warmth"
I will most definitely "third" the Joule Electra LA-100 Mk III. Extremely musical. I would, without hesitation, call it one of the best preamps under $5k.I think it sounds better than the more expensive LA-150.Insanely good deal for $1800 or so.-G... 
Coincident Super Eclipse III vs. Tyler Sig System?
"George (Ajazi): what were the differences you noted between these two speakers? Was it the presentation and soundstage, or differences in resolution?"I thought the Coincidents were more transparent and resolving than the Ty's. I thought that the ... 
Coincident Super Eclipse III vs. Tyler Sig System?
I used to own the Tyler Signature System 2-piece with outboard crossover. And I've auditioned the Coincident Super Eclipse speakers.For my tastes, the Coincident is the speaker for me. Especially if using tube gear (which I do).Both speakers are e...

Information for Joule Electra LA100 Mark III
Wow... it is good to see Jud posting here.I have an original LA-100 Mk III with Purist wire and Remote options (not an upgraded unit) and I absolutely LOVE IT!I even sent it to Jud last fall to add an additional 3db's of gain (new jumper added).Am... 
Which is Best loudspeaker in the $1000-1200 range?
A used set of Audes Blues are amazing for mid-range. Absolutely fantastic bang for the buck. $2200 new, but around $1200 used. I used to own a pair until I upgraded to some Wilson Benesch ACT's.-George 
Wanted:Warm, Sweet preamp.
Yep, I will second my opinion of the LA-100 Mk III with remote.And you'll have a bunch of money left over.Try to get a non-upgraded version.My 2.5 cents. 
Preamp $600-$1000
I second the TAD-150 idea.
