Sorry, but I am not buying it.  
High sensitivity (99) with mid powered (50 to 100 wpc/tube) amps?
Thank uou for your input on that part of my question, @atmasphere  .  
High sensitivity (99) with mid powered (50 to 100 wpc/tube) amps?
Thanks, @glennewdick  !  That is great input!  Seriously.  My preamp does have a lot of gain.  There is no noise that I can hear from the speakers with no music playing, but there is a very soft hum from the preamp itself.  It's not enough to bug ...

Thanks, Mike . . . State College is a doable trip and after a few googles that seems like a helluva deal on them, but still a "tad" over my budget, and from what I read, they are "big room speakers"?  
One answer to an oft-asked question.
I used to listen a lot  to a public radio station, 91.3 WYEP, out of Pittsburgh, and they used to play a lot of great stuff and artists that were off of the beaten track.  I don't listen to music very much in my vehicle anymore, but when I do find...

Thanks indeed. Your behaviour here seems to almost return back to respect of others... @mahgister  , did I ever begin a post by referring to someone as a "coward liar" or an "idiot" or accuse them of "hatred"?  I can only think of one such thre...

I pointed to your repeated insinuation here (2 times) about the OP identity instead of genuine interest in the thread matter Again, Saint @mahgister  , when I saw the similar screen name I was genuinely curious, so I asked, and since I thought ...

Thank you for the input, @avanti1960  , I did a quick google and the Pure Audio Project Duet 15 is a bit out of budget right now.  I am not quite as excited about the Fortes as I was last night (last night I was thinking that in the morning, or on...

Ismmatthew more likely  pick stereo rehab to install it. @jayctoy  , where is Stereo Rehab located?

This dude always aimed at character it seems ... Sorry you found the question I asked the OP (of this thread) to be offensive, Saint @mahgister  ,  I am genuinely curious as to whether the OP is @jerryg123  .  Quite a similar screen name he pic...

. . . back to power cords and speakers, @mrdecibel , a power cord upgrade is an easier component to entertain playing around with than a speaker upgrade is.  Even on the level of a one thousand dollar power cord (although I would have to think har... 
High sensitivity (99) with mid powered (50 to 100 wpc/tube) amps?
@mrdecibel , well, "nauseous" was hyperbole. As is "nails on a chalkboard." What I would say, in all honesty, is that I find poorly mastered and/or recorded CDs to be lifeless and un-engaging with a very flat sound stage. Often I find them to sou... 
High sensitivity (99) with mid powered (50 to 100 wpc/tube) amps?
I am very sorry if my words are taken hurtfully. Not at all, @mrdecibel . I value your input! As far as my questions regarding power cords and my interest in speakers: back when I bought the SA10 the salesman from MD told me that it would re... 
High sensitivity (99) with mid powered (50 to 100 wpc/tube) amps?
@jc4659 , I actually wasn’t worried about not enough power, I was worried that too much power might not be compatible with a sensitivity of 99? My ancient B&Ws are listed as being 87, and my Cary has no problem at all driving them in 50 wpc t...
