dumb question, streaming music to a preamp?
Look at a simple USB DAC from halide, ifi or mytech and use a laptop for streaming. I think that would be the most cost effective solution. 
Need New Bookshelf Speakers of Certain 'Style'
Nglazer is right which is why I suggested the soundfield m1's.So far they are the only speaker I have heard near their size that can do full range sound. Kef uni-q coax coupled with an active sub in each cabinet. Ingenious.

Tubes for Jolida Fusion Preamp
I have the fusion DAC pre and run GE black plate triple micas and it sounds excellent. Contact tctubes in st paul, mn. They are a husband and wife business and I cannot recommend them enough. Best of luck.

Quality issues with Tekton speakers....
So the guy constructing the speakers is the owner and sent them out like that? That's what your saying? That's even worse yet. I'm not out to bash this company nor am I debating that they are a good bargain. I've recommended tekton to my friends w...
