| Klipsch La Scala half-wall corners? Check the link.I think it is missing a few letters or something.B | |
| Proac Tablette 10 Signature I would either call or PM John Rutan (audioconnection),He sells ProAc and when I visited, he ran them with Aesthetix's.A very nice combo-And, this is coming from a Vandy guy.As far as streaming goes, I would get a Bluesound Node with an Ayre Codex... | |

| Recommendation for higher power tube amp @atmasphere and OP,Wouldn't using a pair of Zero Autoformers help with the low impedance issue?Bob | |
| I want a streamer Bluesound Node.Bob | |
| Europe / USA Why not just get a step up/down transformer?Not to be snide, but if you can afford to live in both regions, why not just get amps/pre that are made for the current available? I doubt you would be carrying them across the country.B | |
