| KEF LS50 Speaker Stands RTFM (READ THE FINE MANUAL) ! 24" max height for bass floor reinforcement AND keeping the tweeters BELOW ear level to smooth the treble response. The treble response rises on axis and therefore should be slightly below ear height as they are... | |

| Goldenear BRX Stand Height Always follow the manufacturer's positioning guidelines. So many people unhappy with the sound of their system did not even bother to read the manual. Not always about tweeter height at ear level either. KEF for example wants the LS50 tweeter... | |
| GoldenEar Triton Reference for a large room... They have powered, adjustable active bass drivers, seems ideal for your situation. Other options would include higher efficiency speakers like volti audio, klipsch cornwalls, andio note AN-E | |
| 12AU7 tubes for a Rouge Audio Sphinx V3 Integrated Mullards never worked for me- just did not care for the overall sound.
