Magnepan 1.7 i - Amp suggestions
Regarding the Van Alstine 400R--tried that with the 1.7's years ago and sent it back.  On paper it looked to be a great match but in listening, I way preferred a Marantz integrated!  Was never able to relax and let the music wash over me in a way ... 
Bookshelf Speakers that have to be up against the wall
In my primary dedicated listening room, imaging was a priority.  So, yes, the speakers are well out into the room with perfect symmetry.  And the imaging is fantastic.In a second system I don't have the ability to position speakers much off the fr... 
I am Looking for That Elusive 3 Dimensional Room Filling Soundstage
The sound stage you desire is less a function of the equipment and more a function of how you set things up.  Your room is problematic in several ways, but I would suggest the following (which worked great in a 13x15 ft room I once had).  Place ra... 
Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time"
@mac48025 Very much looking forward to your thoughts on this speaker Tom.  Suspect it will be a very nice match with your electronics and would not be shocked if it outperformed the SE's in some areas.  I like the idea  of your tubed gear driving ... 
High value, giant killer speakers?
Tekton. 
What loudspeakers do you have your Primaluna amp paired with?
agreed! 
What loudspeakers do you have your Primaluna amp paired with?
My PL Dialogue HP is paired with VSA VR-33.  It's a very nice combo.  Rich yet detailed, with very nice sound staging, I really enjoy this in a second system of mine.  The simple first order crossover works well with the HP.  While the VR-33 is ra...

@vidiot33       My hat is off to you--that's quite a read. Perhaps not War and Peace, but still an accomplishment.Many pages back there was an individual who had space issues and went with the Impact Monitors.  He actually bought a pair of REL sub...

I suspect with a tube amp, the 8 ohm version will afford a better match with less alteration of frequency response.Eric feels that the 4 ohm version is best suited to solid state amps. I would wonder if there might be a tad better dynamics/slam bu... 
Demo'd a few sets of speakers over the past 2 weeks...
Me thinks you have good ears.  Now do yourself a favor and order the DI's.  An in home demo is really the only way to make the ultimate call.  So your out return shipping.  We find ways to spend that sum for far less fun. Would be surprised if you...

To my knowledge, there are no published measurements.  I would expect the DI's to measure similarly to the monitors but with greater low end extension.  Will they reach their published sensitivity? Highly doubt it.  The vast majority of speakers d...

"I kept coming back to that superbly even on-axis response"You mean that measurement, right.

@robt22 Not sure on what I should congratulate you on first--the new DI’s or reading the entire thread!One of these days maybe I’ll read the whole thing--I’m sure it would bring many smiles. It has been a fun journey shared with a great group of i... 
Any steel 14” to 16” speaker stands out there?
@dbarger Just in case you missed it, deercreek can do custom work to the height you desire.

Looking forward to it teajay.  No one is in a better position to comment on how this compares to Tektons other models.
