What's the best EL84 amp?
Interesting! I had a SIT-3 with my current setup and it just didn’t surpass the Sun Audio 300B and its 9 WPC. I really wanted it to work. Maybe I gave up too soon? I miss Brooks more than anyone I’ve ever know in audio. What a gentle-man. I’ll ne...

I bet those Joules sound incredible. I also imagine you have very good air conditioning :) We live in a small loft and I had the Stargates which were just wonderful and I really wanted to upgrade but the summers were tough!

I have been trying to find a RM-10 for a year. They don't seem to pop up anymore.

Vintage Speaker Repair?

SPU People: I love my Royal N. Which SPU will I like even better?
That Stageline with a nice SUT would probably sound really good with the Royal N. Have you seen this blog about SPUs? He uses a Royal N with a Schröder arm. It's a two part article.   https://medialux.blog/2018/04/27/what-a-feeling/
