Speakers for a 15w 6v6 integrated amp?
The Coincident Technology Triumph Extreme's are amazingly good monitors that are very easy to drive. If you couple them with (put them on top of) the passive woofers that Coincident provides you get an excellent fullrange speaker that is at ideal ...

need new seperates on a budget
The Emotiva preamp processor lists at around $699. Couple that with the Emotiva 5-channel powerhouse XPA-5 at $899 and at $1,600 you have a killer combo. It will certainly be a lot better than any $2,000 receiver, particularly because the power en... 
Best tube pre-amps under $1,000
Either a new Doge 8 (~$1,500) or a used one. 
Your best ''outstanding'' products in last 5 yrs?
Just about everything Coincident Technology manufactures, from the great Coincident Linestage, the Coincident Phono Stage, both the Frankenstein & Dragon amplifiers, and the Triumph Extreme monitors-the Super Victory's-the Total Victory V-the ... 
What stand mount monitors works w/ Pass XA 30.5?
The easy to drive and excellent performance of the Coincidence Technology Triumph Extreme II's are definitely worth a listen. I have five of them in my surround system and love them. Also, instead of the Coincident speaker stands, which are excell...

Chose speakers for a Leben 300cxs system
I think the Coincident speakers, such as the Total Victory V's and the Pure Reference and Pure Reference Extreme's, are the best speakers available at their price points. Heck, they are the best available at way over their price points. These spea... 
Leben Owners: which speakers do you use?
Any of the excellent Coincident Technology speakers would be a good match. From the bookshelf Triumph Extreme II's, the $10,000 Super Victory's, and even the more expensive Total Victory V's. The Coincident speakers are very low-powered amp friend... 
Which monitors for my tube system in a large room?
I would seriously consider the Coincident Technology Triumph Extreme speakers. As with all Coincident speakers, they are very easy to drive. They also have a very neutral sound. As long as you have very good source components along with your Leben... 
Looking for a Preamp up to $3K
The greatest bargain in balanced tubed pre-amps is the Doge 8. At around $1,500 at Pacific Valve, its performance is amazingly good and it also has a good phono section. Another very good pre-amp in the $2,000 to $3,000 range is the battery powere... 
In search of : Phono Stage to replace Rhea
The best phono stage I have ever heard was the Coincident Technology Phono Stage. It lists at $5,500, but can also be used as a line stage for another input. The power supply alone weighs in at 41 lbs and is obviously in its own chassis. Whether o... 
Class A multichannel amplifier?
Cobaltturbo-I realize that the Arcam is Class G, but it is highly biased to run in Class A for the first 20 watts. I believe that information is on Arcam's website and if it isn't it is definitely on the review of the Arcam AVR600 by Peter Moncrie... 
Who is the KING of MONOS?
For lower powered tube amps, the best is the Coincident Technology Frankenstein's, at about $5,000. It has the strongest 8 watts per channel you're ever likely to hear, plus it is the most true to the incoming signal I have ever heard--and not by ... 
Which line conditioner is best for my situation?
I would get a Pure Power 2000 or 1050. They both regenerate a clean AC signal, have battery back-up, and protect against surges. It is generally much better to have clean AC power than it is to passively treat the incoming power.Greg
