Don Sachs 2 vs. deHavilland Ultraverve 3
Swing,Nice system...The Gemme Tantos are really nice..We have exactly the same taste in music..in the same order of preference.. As far as knowing where you are on the volume ladder, the Ultraverve doesn't really tell you.  For instance, when you ... 
Low Watt Solid State Amp
@charles1dad, I checked with Van Alstine, and Frank said about the first 10 watts are Class A.  Could be a nice match with my speakers which use Philips 9710 drivers, 95db, 8 ohm; generally listening at lower to moderate volume.

Thanks again for all the good information 
Don Sachs 2 vs. deHavilland Ultraverve 3
My point-to-point wiring comments were based on my understanding that the Sachs was based on the SP14 board from Roy Mottram at Tubes4hifi; whereas the Ultraverve is point-to-point hand wired (no board).  Also, the tube compliment that comes with ... 
Don Sachs 2 vs. deHavilland Ultraverve 3
Not exactly answering your question but thought I would share my experience with the Ultraverve 3.  First let me state that I don't think you can go wrong with either choice.  I too was deciding between the Sachs and Ultraverve and went with the U... 
Low Watt Solid State Amp
Thanks again for all the good input.  The Bedini 25/25 is interesting but I sense it will be difficult to find one. I am educating myself regarding the other options mentioned.

Thanks for all the ideas.  Much appreciated. 
Notable very small loudspeaker companies (other than Tekton!)

Ripped off, any ideas?
I have had AEA restore two pieces for me.  It takes time with them, and the communication not always the best, but they do great work. Agree with jb505, just need to be prepared to wait 
Picking a Tube integrated amp
What don't you like about your McIntosh? Why do you want to move to tubes?  The Vivid 1.5's have been characterized as clean-sounding speakers delivering masses of detail.  If you are looking to inject a little warmth by introducing tubes then the... 
Small room electrostat/ planar speaker?
For speakers that are resolving at low to moderate volume levels that are very fast, dynamic, and unboxed sounding and would work in your room, I would look to some of the Omega offerings.  More specifically the Junior 8XRS, Super 3XRS or maybe Su... 
Speaker recommendation for married couple
Agree with audiotroy in that it is odd that she liked both KEF LS50 and Sonus Faber which are two totally different animals.  I went through this with my wife as well and came to the conclusion that she didn't like the "sound" of anything that loo... 
Small living room speaker options.. Totem Arro?
I find Omega loudspeakers really good at extracting details at lower volumes.  You could go with their Compact Alnico Monitor (CAM) which can be placed close to a backing wall. 
Best high-efficiency speaker for Unison S6 EL34-based integrated
forgot to mention....  In your large room, if you are open to open baffle speakers, Pure Audio Project Trio 15 may work for you.  There are some videos on youtube that have them paired with Unison Research Triode 25.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v... 
Best high-efficiency speaker for Unison S6 EL34-based integrated
Hi bob_rodgers.  May I ask what genre of music you typically listen to and at what volume?  I ask because you are looking to "charge the room with bass."  First of all I think charging a 13x30 room with good, clean, articulate, bass is often easie...
