One sub or two?
Agree with Loydc comments. I used a single REL for few years & then upgraded to two RELs. The improvements were very evident. Imaging improved the most. Although they say deep bass is non-directional this is something you will immediately disa... 
What is the best amplifier for Tannoy Kensington ?
Hi What ever amp you may end up with finally, make sure you listen to a 300B based amps before you decided. I use Cary 300B monos on my Canterburys & get plenty of volume from 96db efficiency for my listening preferences. I have heard 100 watt... 
2 Subs
I am using two REL Strata 5 subs. Keeps excellent pace with my horn speakers. I have them on granite blocks placed on 3 point isolation brass cones. This really makes the bass tighter. I also weigh them down with custom cut granite for the top. Ag... 
Did I blow my tube amp?
I am no expert in the matter but my Cary amps are biased with all connections removed as recommended by the manufacturer. Best would be to check with manuf. Or trouble shoot with the user manual. 
Rega or Marantz??
I haven't heard the Marantz you mention. Have a Rega Brio in room system. I am pretty impressed with Rega sound to say the least. Very musical! Good luck with your search.

Haven't read all responses but would urge you to look at Rega amps. I have used many NAD amps before but personally feel Rega is far superior. I own a Rega Brio in my room sys but power is less than what you are looking for.This amp has honestly s...

SET the best?
Have gone from 350 watts to 2 watts. Considering 500 watt mono's but for my HT.Speaker paring is critical if you want to maintain dynamics etc. I feel horn speakers are better suited for SET. System matching is also important & easy to get it ...

Electrocompaniet ECI-5 vs McIntosh MA6900
I canno't comment based on sound as I have not heard the components you mentioned in the same system together, as a system. Also I have not personally heard the EC other than the reviews I have read.I can only say, if sound is your ONLY considerat...
