Zu Druid & Definition Roundup
Yes Spirit, sounds like you were looking for that ultimate "punch" with the bass drivers. Best of luck.Question: The newer SE2SE looks to be Gm70 based so I'm assuming you have a previous model or they come both ways. Have you compared the two? 
Reissue McIntosh MC275's..what are differences?
Call Terry DeWick, you can find him in Knoxville on the internet. 
Importance of Amplifier versus Preamp?
Read the Audiogon forums until you understand all things about impedance between components, impedence curves in speakers, efficiency/sensitivity of speakers, balanced vs unbalanced components and the different types of sources and their benefits.... 
Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear
I own a pair of McIntosh MC 60s,1956 vintage paired up with Zu Def IVs. Sounds pretty good to me. 
Preamp Noise with High-Efficiency Speakers
Hi Charles1,As with most things audio the devil is in the details. The BPT certainly does a lot of things favorably, a sense of ease permeates the music now and is very pleasing. Will have to don my Sherlock hat although Inspector Gadget is a more... 
Preamp Noise with High-Efficiency Speakers

Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable
Don't need edgy. Got up and running about 9 months ago after a 30 yr hiatus from audio. While there can always be improvements, have tweaked with tubes and treatments to achieve a rounded, musical presentation. Not overly warm but sweet. Def 4s wi... 
Would vinyl even be invented today?
Saw a Youtube video with the leading minds of audio on the cutting edge of digital audio exploring the limits of digital audio. Boy were they all into USB, Spdif, jitter, storage and the likes. Turns out the most advanced of the group were long co...
