Looking To Match A Tube Amp With A Pair Of Audio Note AN-K/Spe
Scott glad to hear you got to talk to Vu I find he's typically spot on and can diagnose problems over the phone really well as you learned. You're in good hands for sure I wish I had discovered his shop a lot earlier in my own audio journey. @pes... 
Tannoy Stirlings on the way!
@mulveling Thanks for that but I was more thinking about it in the reverse the Alnico with the tulip waveguide as I've read at least it's superior to the pepperpot. I had a speaker once with an Alnico midrange driver, the Alon Lotus Elite and it s...

@david_ten Does Scott/Found Music have a website? A search just turned up your post and Mike's over on WB thanks.

I will just say, as I have the same dealer as Larry,  there is absolutely no agenda, Vu just likes what he likes. As far as caps go he's likely to use vintage caps as current AN caps. He's not telling anyone else not to used Mundorf or Duelund the...

@mulveling Totally fascinating writeup thanks but I have a question, why couldn't they pair an Alnico magnet with the tulip waveguide? Or is it just tradition or users prefer the pepper pot sound?  
Question about Class A
Since you can audition Sugden at the dealer in your area go take a listen and see what you think. Class A does make a difference if done right.  
How important is it that all cables come from the same manufacturer?
I am totally mixed and matched here no two cables are the same and everything sounds great.  
Great speaker sounds terrible in my room?
You liked the speakers at the sellers 2 feet from the wall and you don't like them 10 feet from the wall. Have you tried pushing them back closer to the wall? They are small monitors and likely need some bass reinforcement from the room you're not... 
How many systems do you have?
800 sqf condo here so just the one and it's plenty enough.  
Atma-Sphere vs. Supratek
@tomic601 I never knew you were Jim I've been calling you Tom all these years for obvious reasons. :)  
Contenders are here
Congratulations on the new speakers! I ran Alon, Carl's prior company, Lotus Elite's for a few years and loved them, had to give em up when I moved to a smaller place.  
Atma-Sphere vs. Supratek
+1 @lalitk and @david_ten you're talking about all kinds of equipment you've never heard. Even something good may not be to your tastes. That being said buying used at least can mitigate any losses you may incur. Good luck on your search!  
Atma-Sphere vs. Supratek
I will just say neat and tidy looks neat and tidy. However routing for neatness and routing for best sound are sometimes two different things. I don't have a dog in this fight I did have an original Syrah back in the early 2000s. I was unimpressed... 
What gear is on the horizon?
My AN Dac is in the shop getting a full refurbish after a bridge rectifier failed and took some other components out, so focused on getting that back sometime later this year!  
How long ago did you catch the bug?
Thanks @zavato if only I hadn't started reading about tubes in audio mags!
