| mono block or bi-amps which would you pick? You do not need 100-250 watts to drive those speakers! The whole point of horns and high efficiency is to allow you to use better lower powered amps. I would be far less concerned about monoblocks versus bi-amping and more concerned with finding t... | |

| EL34 equivalent tube types The Genalex Gold Lion reproduction KT-77 is in my opinion, and many others, the best EL34 variant currently available. They are night and day better than anything else I have tried. | |
| Harbeth M30.1+Luxman LX-380 & Audio Note AN-E/SPe Oto SE Sig irish cool I've heard great things about JM Reynaud but never heard a pair. Sounds like you're in for a nice upgrade both amp and speakerwise! Cheers,Jon | |
| Advice please on up to $10k to upgrade pre amp, dac, phono, and power amp I went ahead and read a bit about your speakers, they sound like they are not especially hard to drive. In the Absolute Sound review they mention driving your speakers with an Air Tight ATM-1S a really nice tube amp from Japan. I owned the prior m... | |
| Harbeth M30.1+Luxman LX-380 & Audio Note AN-E/SPe Oto SE Sig Irish,Nice system! I have the DAC-3 Signature which came before the 3.1x so I know your digital sounds great, and I use Lexus speaker cables too! The Oto is supposed to be a sweet little amp and AN TT's are very musical looks like a well thought o... | |
| Harbeth M30.1+Luxman LX-380 & Audio Note AN-E/SPe Oto SE Sig Irish,I am sure the anticipation is tough my speakers took about 12 weeks to arrive and it was agony! Would love to hear your impressions when they arrive and also curious what AN gear are you running?Cheers,Jon | |
| How to drive yourself insane I've gotten better advice from industry experts than from the forums, and I've gotten tons of great advice here. Not everyone in the industry is here to take your money most are audiophiles too and love to talk audio. And the smart ones know the p... | |

| Elekit TU-8600 or ANK Kit 1? +1 @stereo5 though I am an admitted Audio Note fanboy. | |
| Harbeth M30.1+Luxman LX-380 & Audio Note AN-E/SPe Oto SE Sig Charles,In Vu's Audio Note room they have the E's in the corners on the back wall and opposite on the front wall either J's or K's in a conventional setup. Glad you enjoyed the system pics I finally got around to taking a bunch of new photos. And ... | |
| Harbeth M30.1+Luxman LX-380 & Audio Note AN-E/SPe Oto SE Sig Charles,No I am unable to use corner placement due to the layout of my apartment. There is a photo on my system page showing the setup, it's fairly conventional. In fact Vu recently asked me to email him a pic of my setup for another customer who ... | |
| Harbeth M30.1+Luxman LX-380 & Audio Note AN-E/SPe Oto SE Sig Charles agreed and Vu has never steered me wrong. He never tries to sell me he lets me sell myself by giving good advice and letting me listen to great gear. I called him once about noise in my system, assuming a tube was going bad, he correctly d... |
