Speaker recommendation for SET tube amp MASTERSOUND
What about Zu audio cube? Or do I need a speaker of higher caliber to better match the quality of my amp?  
Brodmann FS speakers with SET tube amp
How did you deduce they’re inefficient? I’m still not clear how to interpret those specs. And how can a speaker “not like” a lot of poweR? If they’re 8ohm and 91db, that’s pretty efficient, unless I’m missing something.

Just discovered Grigory Sokolov. Not very well known in the US, and not many recordings to choose from. But his live performance of Schubert and Beethoven on DG is unparalleled. Full video available on Amazon prime. I can not stop listening to thi... 
Auditioning Elipsa SE tomorrow, getting my ducks in a row, am I missing anything
What amp and pre amp did you end up getting? Have you experimented with tube vs. solid state? What about speakers cables and interconnects?

jim and jcazadorTake a listen 3 movements of Petrushka by Khatia Buniatishvili new CD Kalkeidoscope. Not many pianists attempt this piece. Pollini was the first version I heard and in my mind is the reference. But I was also moved by Khatias playi... 
Best new or used intergrated amp or separates for Vienna Acoustics Mozart Grand Speakers
I have Mozart and tried several amps. They need a lot of power. Mcintosh integrated ma6600 was awesome. Also tried an old Krell KAV300i integrated, will give 400 watts into 4ohm, can get this around 1000$ now. Hard to beat an old Krell amp. Also w... 
Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor "Minimum" Power?
Have you tried a low power SET tube amp on your SF Cremona auditor?  
Dynaudio C4 old stock discounted
I know that capacitors get old and leaky and eventually need to be replaced on aged amps. Does this not apply to speaker architecture ?  
Ayon vs. Mastersound vs. Vaic Tube SET
I've heard Mastersound PF100 mono blocks about a year ago with SF Elipsa SE and spretto pre. To this day I'm haunted by that magic and astounding witchcraft. Without a doubt, that would be the last amplifier I would ever buy.  
Ayon vs. Mastersound vs. Vaic Tube SET
Skip Many thanks for your excellent reply. One day I hope to be an owner of a Mastersound SET. If one is able to get their hands on a used amp, do you offer any kind of service contracts  or extended warranty? How are the evolution 845 from 2010-2... 
Ayon vs. Mastersound vs. Vaic Tube SET
I am guessing once you're in exotic territory you're getting a product which performs at the highest level, but at the same time the very fact that makes them exotic makes them unreliable as well. Take for instance any supercar. The more exotic yo... 
Ayon vs. Mastersound vs. Vaic Tube SET
I've seen quite a few amps on Audiogon labeled as Vaic and claimed to be made by Mastersound.

Finally getting into Schubert. Stumbled on Krystian Zimerman CD on Tidal, Piano Sonatas 959 and 960. I can't get enough. Does anyone know any other pianist who is known for Schubert? Preferably high quality recording. Also, RVpiano, check out Khat...
