| Are the Klipschorns mainly for Classical music ?? I find that classic rock leaves alot to be desired because the recordings seem to be less than what I expectedWhat amp/source are you running? And have you modified the speakers? It's a must, or they sound only so-so, IMO. | |
| EL34 Integrated If you are inclined to consider a complimentary tube type (EL84), you might also speak to George Wright (www.wright-sound.com) about a new integrated EL84 amp that he will soon have in production. It will have many features, including plug-ins for... | |
| Have you seen the VR9SE Review? Does the VR-9SE have a slot in the back for stuffing dollar bills? :-) | |
| Differences in SQ between EL34, KT-88 & 6550 Tubes My experience has echoes Newbee's and Albertporter's. You might consider an amplifier that allows you to use any of these tube types.

| "Integrated Amp" Do I dare go there?????? Bizarre. What a waste of time.Ditto. A one-day itch, my butt. Or rather, his...and we all just scratched it good. | |
| I hope break in is true Sean,Thanks for the reminder. I ran the Ayre disc again this morning on repeat for an hour or so, and it's true, the sound afterwards is considerably deeper and more textured. Not a hint of grain. For me, it produces that same emotional connection... | |

| restocking fees Thanks for clarifying that, Jea48. Sorry for my confusion. | |
| restocking fees The two remaining dealers in my area will check out a piece of demo equipment for a home audition. Screw that waiting for something that is being shipped. I'll take the local dealer first over mail order.Aren't you then limited only to the brands ... | |
| set vs otl, which is the most musical Excuse me for derailing the thread, but could someone answer with a simple yes or no...do the OTL's and their little tube armies run especially hot? Thanks for the response. | |
