| Dust on speaker cones. Gently wiping it off with a soft paintbrush works. | |
| Spatial X5 speakers Congrats! I heard Spatials, not sure which model, sounding great on the end of some LTA gear at CAF 2019. | |

| How to identify my weakest link? Paul having silver cables with bright speakers is a bad idea I would recommend switching to copper. One of the best copper cables I've heard and great with tubes is Auditorium23 both interconnect and speaker cables. Great sound and they won't brea... | |
