Speakers "Disappearing"
If I am aware of music coming out of a box, I feel like I have a system that is a failure.  Ironic that Michael Green posted.  I purchased a pair of his rev60(?) speakers years ago.  I thought it crazy in the manual he suggested bringing the speak...

@stelo   I will echo David's comments.  While I also prefer my DI's well out into the room, others have had good results otherwise.  Depends on the room and your priorities--bass response, sound staging, etc.  I also prefer the speakers toed in (s...

@knollbrent Hope you enjoy the DI's.  I just have a hard time believing your Mac will be able to drive them however......JUST KIDDIN'.  It's a good knowing your amp is not even breaking a sweat driving the DI's.  At least that how I feel with my s...

Nice pics David.  Always fun to get a look at others systems we've all been reading about.  The color of your pair of SE's looks great with your system.  If you ever have a chance, would like to see a close up of the finish...and what's the offici... 
Subwoofer Decision
I certainly agree with wsphon's comments above. But I would also add that with my main speakers, well out into the room, that the Hsu subs have done a great job of recreating deep and tight bass found in many of the recordings (classical and other... 
Minimum recommended amplification requirements and amplifier matching
I once drove a pair of monitor audio silvers with EKCO  integrated.  This is a very good tube amp indeed but with this pairing in triode the bass was very bloated.  Much better in UL mode.  I really wonder if the MA silvers aren't better off with ... 
Primaluna Dialogue poremium, Rogue Cronus Magnum II or Jolida 801...who can advise me?
One more vote for the PL Dialogue HP.  Don't be penny wise pound foolish.  Spend a bit more for a very musical and very well designed amp that will get you off the merry-go-round need to upgrade.  I did not consider any tube amps with circuit boar... 
Subwoofer Decision
I can second the Hsu ULS-15 MkII.  I run a pair and they offer very tight clean bass down to 20hz in my room.  A great value.  I suspect either of the subs you are looking at would be great as well.  In the end what's "best" would only be known af... 
Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400.
@grannyring@kdude66 Question for you guys.  I just spent a lot of time on optimizing my DI's with room treatments and adding subs.  The subs are in the corners and the DI's well out into the room. See my pics--https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/...

@david_ten I can't keep up with all your gear man!  But it sounds like you are having fun.  You know, with all the posts on this thread I can't recall if you tried the Lyngdorf 2170 that Bill is so fond of.  This seems like a unique piece of solid... 
We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses
As I have not spent time with fuse swapping, I really can't offer much here. But I will tell you that when I changed the direction of my power transistors, the results were clearly audible.

Should finish up my acoustic treatments this weekend.  Subwoofers breaking in nicely.  I'll try to post some pics after things are complete.  Really quite pleased how this is all coming together.  Like the DI's, the Hsu subs have a very high perfo...

@tomcarr Thanks for the post Tom.  You know, it's scary how much I remember about that gear down to every last detail.  And all the albums I played on it as well.  Wonderful memories indeed.Hope you continue to enjoy the music!  
What Do You Think Of This?
Little to no feedback is a big red flag!Have him ship the tuner back at his cost.  If it is in need of repair, then refund his shipping.  If it works fine, no refund of shippingHave paypal and/or Audiogon assist you in these fair and reasonable te...
