| Looking for brighter tubes Try Telefunken 12AX7, great midrange and probably more high frequencies than the Russian counterpoint. For 12AT7 the most HF info I've experienced is the pinch waist Phillips. They are difficult to find and probably expensive by now. | |

| mbl - is there a problem? Personally, prefer the sound of the Maggie. The dozen or so times I've listened to the MBL it never connected to me musically. Every time I hear Maggies I'm impressed and enjoy their natural presentation. The 20.1 was the other speaker I was consi... | |
| PAD Aqueous Aureus or 20th Anniversary Aqueous Like most audio products there is a slight evolution in product line that typically improves with time. The 20th Anniversary is superb and the Aureus is the Praesto revision (newer model) and slightly better. | |
