the cart or the horse?
I ask this in all sincerity,  why  the recommendation to change the Omega monitor speakers? They are excellent and very efficient/easy to drive and a very good match for a 10x15 feet listening room. Different speakers but still saddled with the sa...

CHANGING FROM AUDIO RESEARCH TO AUDIO NOTE SYSTEM 
Therefore IMHO all AN speaker are all too small and so are there poweramps. A sweeping broad brush statement if there ever was one. 😊 A clear example of to each their own. Charles

Genuine Western Electric wiring throughout, silver foil coupling caps, stepped attenuators, silver/wet tantalum caps, .05% tolerance resistors.... high quality in and out. I’m strongly inclined to agree.😊 I look forward to your listening impre... 
Toolshed Amps 300b Stereo Amp
@oddiofyl  Congratulations! This seems to be a very high quality 300b SET amplifier.  I believe that you made a wise decision to choose top tier 300b tubes. You may as well use this level of tube to get the most of an amplifier of this caliber. T...
