Burn Twetter Speaker
2 things  send the tweeter to Bill,. Legal at Miller Sound in PA to see if he can repair and maybe tell you why it keeps burning out Second thing WPC does not have anything to do with clipping an amplifier.   Happy Listening.  
Reasonably priced preamplifier

thanks but not much of a review or impressions.  I would have preferred you let us know a little more about the system, and music you listened to so if someone would go hear them, they would have a better reference point to what you heard.  But th... 
Best low budget speakers for a Levinson 383 Integrated amp

Upgrade speakers or DAC
Always source you will be amazed that when you have a great source how much better your system will sound. The speakers can only produce what is feed to them.  We have used old box speakers KLH form the 70s and found that they disappear with a bet... 
Counterpoint SA-1000 Phono Stage Issue
@jaret  The counterpoint phono stage uses a kind of hybrid technology.  The circuit uses tube section when using mm, and uses jet section when using Mc.  Unfortunately, the noise using jet is very loud.  The jet maybe aged out and no good one ava... 
CEC Belt Drive CD Transports vs Jay's Audio CD Transports
