Tekton Double Impacts
David,  I am sure you will be doing a very thorough search into what speakers will show off your new amps best.  Will be very curious indeed what speakers make the final cut.  Keep us posted.   
Tekton Double Impacts
Wow.  That is one serious effort David.  I'm sure when you get that system together it will be special indeed.  I'll be curious to see what preamp and speakers you end up going with.  And I'm sure your SE's will get to spend some time with this am...

@david_tenSo what 2A3 amp did you pick up David? 
Tekton Double Impacts
@david_tenFunny on the timing of things David.  I have a secondary system as well with a PL Dialogue HP (granted, not quite the SET direction you are venturing into) currently driving VSA VR-33's.  While not unhappy with the 33's, I really am curi...

Mac, might be on my radar.  It would be nice to meet you guys.  Send me a PM on when you were thinking and your location.  Just make sure it's not when the Wolverines are playing!

Agreed!

Thanks for the "better late than never response" snovosel! I could not agree more with your way of thinking when it comes to auditioning equipment in your own listening space. You can read and research all you want but until you try that speaker i...

Given the height of the speaker, the closest thing to a stand might by various platforms or footers.  Too bad this long thread doesn't have an index of some sort!  Some have used Sistrum platforms, Herbies Gliders, Gaia footers, generic spikes, So...

Wow, talk about the ultimate Tekton-fest!  There's not Beryllium in your future is there David??

I can't imagine an interface problem with your amp.  Some have enjoyed the DI's with as little as a 1 watt preamp!  So this is an easy to drive speaker.  As has been said many times over the course of this long thread, if you love the sound of tha...

Thanks David. Perhaps my only claim to semi-fame. Not that I had much to do with it. I just asked the question--and you know the rest. Thanks to all that have made this thread informative and so much fun!  
Focal Aria 936 / Elac Adante AF-61 / Von Schweikert VR-33 , impressions, thoughts?
@stereo5I agree, sometimes things do not add up.  It just reinforces the point that your room is the single biggest factor sometimes.I had a pair of 7" Scanspeak revelators with an aircirc tweeter and high end crossover--the VR-33's gave overall a...

I have owned the VSA VR-33 speakers for a number of years now.  I have not heard your other two considerations.I recall when I first received these speakers, I had high hopes for them.  They were replacing a pair of Mirage M-5si's.  Now the Mirage... 
Small Room. Go for it or forget about it?
Once had a small room with great results using a pair of DIY Vifa two ways with a first order series crossover.  Speakers pulled out almost halfway into room, listening chair against back wall.  Sounded great with huge sound stage.  Other speakers...
