Choice of tube amp?
I don`have access to any fax as I`m on holiday in the middle of nowhere in NorwayI must have missed the "24-hr Access to Audiogon" bullet point in the highlights section of the Carnival Cruise Line brochure. 
Choice of tube amp?
Have you considered adding a tube preamp? That could potentially extract more of what you're looking for from the music. I know Alex (APL) doesn't like the use of the preamp, but I've run two players of his, and both times preferred the sound with... 
Contrast/compare 50W tube amps
Many would be quite happy with the DeHavillands. But I could not get them to drive with the energy of the Quickies. 
Contrast/compare 50W tube amps
I've not heard Atma-Sphere. I found the BAT to sound clean and accurate, but didn't hold my attention. I just couldn't get into the music. The DeHavilland has a beautiful, refined sound, but they are too polite for my tastes. The Quicksilver Triod...

I'll add to the list of desired features the XLR inputs and outputs and a remote control. Sorry...missed it in the beginning.That removes the Lamm from consideration.I've been offered to demo a Calypso and VK-31 in my own system. I may take advant...

No Audiophiles in Hollywood
Are these in Ari's office or something?I just watched the first 4 episodes of "Entourage", and the Lumenwhite speakers are in the boys' house, one on each side of rounded bar. 
Who's Your Favorite Bass Players; Why?
There is a very good bass player named Michael Manring that I likeManring is outstanding in a trio called "Attention Deficit", with guitarist Alex Skolnick (Testament), and drummer Tim "Herb" Alexander (Primus). These guys are phenomenal.Another g...

I thought those speakers on Entourage were Piegas, but Paradigm makes more sense.The speakers on "Entourage" (fun show, by the way) are theLumenwhite
