Rolling KT150s in Primaluna hp integrated
My KT150 got an endorsement from my wife. She said that they look like my speakers, Vivid Audio 1.5. Nice to know that they are a visual as well as audio match 🤣 
Your last concert was to see who and when?
Saw Tierney Sutton last night at Side Door Jazz in CT. She and the band were great. It is a nice venue. They will be playing in NYC this week. 
PSB Imagine T3's?
I read the reviews and found a demo pair at a good price. I walked into the store with my credit card ready to go. I really didn't like them at all. I went back a few days later and had the same reaction with a different amplifier. I ended up with... 
Picking a Tube integrated amp
I am considering a used unit. That increases the concern. 
Picking a Tube integrated amp
There is a thread with people having trouble with Line Magnetic customer service. At their price point, I would probably be buying used. Any thoughts?

What's Next
I just got the Vivid 1.5. I suggest that you look at their larger speakers. I am spending too much time listening as they just pull me in. 
PMC 24 and Canalis Cambria two way floorstanders; What is the advantage to this design?:
Do you remember the movie"Ruthless People" where he tries to sell speakers by the size?  Not the size or the number of drivers. Let your ears be your guide.

Triode or Ultralinear mode
I just replaced my Merlin VSMs with Vivid 1.5. I love the sound, and have no complaints. This was a question, as I didn't get the so called benefit of triode mode.I wouldn't trade these speakers for quite a while. I am only at the house with them ...
