tube amp info
Well here is another 140/140 owner needs to retube the 300B's (16) soon. Are the EH gold grids a decent choice. 
Loud thump when I power on or off
Another way of thinking about it is , try Floating a ground or 2. A turn off thump can be leaking caps on the amplifiers also 
Infinity Kappa 9's
Kappa 9's need very high current amps. krell Ksa 250 will drive the #$%^ out of them without any strain and do so cleanly with outstanding sonics. Rated at 250 a side into 8 and 2000 into 1 ohm. The krell are cheap right now because they produce a... 
Amp with a hard,clean and cold sound...
I owned a S500 and found it tilted upward. it woulnt take much to make it harsh. A krell ksa250 is a powerhouse but very polite in the highs.
