Demo'd a few sets of speakers over the past 2 weeks...
@bstatmeister If you’re looking for that magic your Vandersteen’s provide, I don’t think you’ll find it in the Tekton brand. I did an in home demo of the Electron, the little brother of the DI’s. To me--in plain language--I thought they were big, ... 
Speakers I have Two in mine??
Fourth thread created asking the same questions. 
Recommnedation for the BEST SOUNDING integrated amp up to $3500
Nice to see the Rogue Cronus Magnum II/III gettting some love here. I just purchased one after 2-3 years with SS (Belles Aria), and am loving tubes! May keep the Belles for the summer months as the tubes do throw a bit of heat into my 11'x13' room... 
Speaker advice for listening to Blues music
@cedarblues What part of the country do you live in? I'm not sure if there is a dealer close to you, but Vandersteen 1ci's may do the trick for you. They are easy to listen to, not fatiguing, and very musical. Should do nice in a small room too...... 
Newbie looking for speakers
Hey Joe,Sounds like you are where I was about 2 and a half years ago. Have a look at this thread I posted (hence the screen name audionoobie) back then. I was given a TON of valuable advice from this community. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussio... 
Value Integrated Tube Amps
Rogue Cronus Magnum II used = $1.5k done.  
Considering switching to Tubes
I recently made the switch to tubes after using SS (Belles, Anthem) for 2-3 years. I always wondered what was wrong with me. My listening sessions were maybe 5-6 songs, my ears were fatigued, and I’d want to go do something else. I thought to myse... 
Speakers under $50k that rival $200k+ speakers?

PSB T3 I have not heard better bass from a floor standing/tower, have you? Under $7.5K
I have not heard any of the speakers previously mentioned. But when I think of speakers around the $7.5k mark, I think of the Legacy Audio Signaure SE. They sound incredible with their dual 10" woofers they provide nicely extended, deep, warm bass... 
Why the fascination with subwoofers?
As to subs being difficult to integrate, I must have just gotten lucky (you can look at my virtual system). My Kef R400b sub perfectly compliments my R11's, which i believe only go down to 32Hz. I run the mains full range and cross over the sub ar... 
I need bass
Davey??? We lost Davey..... 
Are the new Ohm Walsh speakers Audiophile quality?
Understood. I know there's a prolific poster here that has the 2000's with a pair of Vandersteen subs that swears by his Ohms. Perhaps he'll chime in.  
Are the new Ohm Walsh speakers Audiophile quality?
Hi Sophie,Why not order a pair as they offer a very generous 120 day in home trial? I would also recommend that you call over there and get their recommendation on model. You might not need the 2000 if your room is smaller.I would love to get a pa... 
Considering Vandersteen 3a Signatures
I am also using the Primacoustic London 10 room kit and found that it made a difference. Not huge, but noticeable.
