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... 
Price to list ad
On two recent sales, listed both here and usaudiomart, it was the free ad that made the sale!

Joe,If you like the sound of your amp do not think about changing that variable right now.  I can reassure you the DI's perform well with all sorts of electronics as this thread points out.  Their efficiency allows the option of low powered SET  g...

Happy One Year Anniversary to the Tekton DI thread.  Thanks to all for your many contributions over the past year!

@danoroo maybe an easier answer to your problem would be to pull the crossover and replace some of those nasty caps!  Suspect it might be a fun and easier project than what Bill did with his DI's.

csmgolf,Point made.  I agree that there are some speakers you might hear at a show and you know pretty quickly this is not the speaker for you.  In that case, shows can be effective at narrowing the field.  Now if you hear several you really like....

You know, about 80 pages ago I said that the return shipping charges would be worth the fun of playing with a new toy for a month.  More importantly, and also noted before more than once, has been what's stated above.  I can't imagine auditioning ...
