Speaker Suggestions for 300b SET Amp
Wolf, get this...It looks like none of the Chicagoland brick and mortar dealers I’ve looked into so far (as listed on Klipsch’s website) stock the Heresys. I’m down to Abt and am awaiting a response to this electronically submitted question "Does ... 
Speaker Suggestions for 300b SET Amp
@wolf_garcia , Your posts are always englightening, humble and humorous.  I'd love to here the new Heresys! Or for that matter, Zu's too. Anyone in Chicagoland  with Heresys or Zus who would allow me to bring over my 300b?  I'd love to test drive ...

Thank you everyone.  I have some research to do. Stay tuned as I'm gonna have questions! 
Headphones for ~$1k
Thank you asp307.  The reviews rave about them. 
Most overrated bands
Wow--great responses here.First off, to say Dylan or the Beatles are overrated is absurd--unless the idea is someone says they are god and no one is god and so therefore they are overrated. Also, I'd define "overrated" as an artist that is seeming... 
Don't you love it and hate it when an upgrade actually gives you a marked improvement?
Stevecham you are right!  hobby, interest, pursuit, slippery slope. That is genius. Best of luck Toddveronne on your shopping 
Anyone have experience with the Tung Sol 7581a vs. EL34, KT66, KT88, 6L6
Noromance, I agree!  I wish the 7581a could mate with an EL34 and have offspring.  The 7581a is near perfect for me--I just want a touch more of the EL34 midrange syrup.

I'm shy of 2 weeks into these tubes.  I have a good time running them in and with the holiday I was able to really let them run.  I'd say they have 40 hours on them now.  To be honest, I think they changed a little but not too much from out of the...

@rshak I bought them from this seller on eBay--here's a similar if not identical listing from her/him.https://www.ebay.com/itm/Tung-Sol-Factory-Platinum-Matched-Quad-7581-7581A-6l6-type-tubes-24hr-Burn-... 
Anyone have experience with the Tung Sol 7581a vs. EL34, KT66, KT88, 6L6
I bought my 7581a's from a guy in Ohio--cleveland area-on Ebay.  He tests them and does a 48 hour burn in.  They were so cheap compared to others I have bought.  I'm not rolling these out since rolling them in. Also, as my 6 year old likes to poin...

Have you tried the 7581a? 
Wharfedale Denton vs Diamond 225
I bought the Dentons for my father for Christmas.  I built a tube amp and am in the testing phase with an 8w tube amp feeding the Dentons. I have them set up in a small sunporch (about 7 x 11).  Their sound is really for me.  If you lush, musical ...

@ruleof72 ,I have only heard the T2, T3 (flagship) and Alphas (I think).  I also have your situation where I have my speaker cables in the wall.  I started with Monoprice, like you, and now I have signalcable wire in the wall.  I thoroughly enjoye...

What about Totem Arro, Staff, etc?  Those fully comply with your cat clause, as there is only wood exposed and they likely don't make a scratching post for the animal.  They also have huge WAF (very slim and seductive).  Totems also don't mind (an...

A couple notes on the PSB Imagine option.I have the Imagine T2.  The grils are metal, which is a fine feature.  I ordered a back up set from PSB because I switched out the grill cloth on one set to off white--for WAF.  On the white set I made I pa...
