Low Powered Tube Amp Distorting High Efficiency Speakers?
Thanks for all the feedback everyone. My source is a PS Audio DirectStream Jr DAC with Tidal. The distortion is not necessarily in the recording, but I’m pretty sure its not a bad driver. Gonna get a bit specific here, but I can hear it in the lou... 
Low Powered Tube Amp Distorting High Efficiency Speakers?
audiojan I’m not sure I understand.  
Vintage turntable with a modern phono stage, is it worth it?
Thanks for the feedback friends, all encouraging. I suppose I'll look for a phono stage then, one appropriate for this particular TT. I suppose high end may be overkill as you warn @grislybutter, open to any recommendations.   
Devore / Bay Area
@voodoochillin I actually did write to Devore and this was his response: “The 15 Watt Leben should be a great match with the O/babys, they are quite an easy load for an amp. The sensitivity rating is 90dB/W/m, so if you like to listen really loud,...

@ghasley I also have my Leben currently powering a pair of Harbeth m30.1’s. 86db at 6ohms, which I have a feeling isn’t the perfect match.   
Devore / Bay Area
@ghasley thanks for your thoughts. I have a Leben 300xs, so also 15 watts in a 18x14 ft room. From what I’ve heard from dealers, it should be a fine pairing with the o/baby’s, but you think otherwise?

Back to my original question - Any Orangutan owners out here in the Bay Area that would let me demo their system for a few minutes? I'm sad this turned into such a different kind of chat.  
Quick speaker review: Ojas DIY kit
Thanks again @garthb309 super helpful. I may have to see where I can find a pair.    
Quick speaker review: Ojas DIY kit
hey @garthb309 thanks for the follow up! Question for you - how would you characterize the "80's sound"?   
Quick speaker review: Ojas DIY kit
Hey there @garthb309. Now that you’ve had these for a while, can you elaborate on your thoughts about their sound? I’ve been looking for an efficient pair of speakers for my Leben 300xs. It’s been frustratingly difficult to find any reviews on how... 
Zu introduces Soul 6
Really curious if anyone else has Soul 6 first impressions out there. Or @mozartfan @213cobra would love to read more of your thoughts on these. I have owned a pair of Zu DW's and a pair of Soul II's. Sold both a while ago when downgrading and hav...

Zu Soul Supreme with Leben CS300xs (or Harbeth XX.X?)
Thanks Reruam. Yeah, from what I am gathering here, its most likely just a slight mismatch for higher volumes. But dang, they sound good together. Especially that bass boost at super low levels, it really carries throughout my living space. Makes ... 
Zu Soul Supreme with Leben CS300xs (or Harbeth XX.X?)
thanks for the insights Bjesien! I think the 300 may move up to the 600 eventually. I love the idea of trying out the EL34s. I'll be on the look out for a pair of o/93's, they are pricey though, so it may all be wishful thinking. For now the Carre...
