| $3500 floor standing speakers used. What would be your choice ? mulveling, I see. I agree, coherence is very important, single driver speaker without flaws is an almost unachievable goal. Yes, choosing Tannoy would be a very complicated matter, especially if you can't audition them. I also understand that th... | |
| $3500 floor standing speakers used. What would be your choice ? Well, after 25 years I might want to upgrade even if I still like the speakers. Rooms will be changing, that's not part of the equation here, they should sound good in any but very small or very big room. | |
| Soulution 331 vs Gryphon Diablo 333 jeffreyw, clearly you prefer the Soulution to both the Gryphon and T+A. But you say that you might want to change your speakers later as well. Do you know what speakers you might have in the future? | |

| $3500 floor standing speakers used. What would be your choice ? Never heard Silverline speakers. Bolero could be appealing. Thank you for the suggestion. | |
| $3500 floor standing speakers used. What would be your choice ? No horns either, again, not for me. | |
| $3500 floor standing speakers used. What would be your choice ? No panel speakers, please, not my kind of sound. Well, except maybe top SoundLabs. | |
| Cartridge - sweet spot on the cost/sound curve? I have Goldring 1042 MM for my Nottingham Spacedeck/Spacearm. Bought it years ago from analogueseduction.net in the UK for $350. Now it is probably more, US prices are $600 or so. I doubt you will find an overall better cartridge in this price ran... | |
| Can you do anything to make power tubes last longer ? Tube porn, right. | |
| Can you do anything to make power tubes last longer ? Right. I wouldn't like to end up with too many tubes. Yeah, people chase vintage tubes usually for a good reason. XF3/XF4 as a spare set..that's not a bad idea at all. |
