nad s200 with heresys
I have used several ss amps with the Forte IIs. Also, I sometimes use a Little Dot mkIII tube preamp with them. This is where my credibility might go out the window... I usually use one (or two) super cheap t-amps, and love the sound I am getting....

Headphones? Anyone?
Just picked up a mint (less than 50 hrs) set of AKG K702 phones from a freind. Guy started at $175 and kept dropping. When he got too low I had to bite! Listening to "I am Shelby Lynn", and I am loving them! Four cans I have bagged go for $560 (st...
