Audio Note Kit 1
Like as sloth on valium.With lots of drool. 
Speakers that sound like Usher Be-20s/10s
I have a friend with Usher Be20s so know them pretty well.To me some of the Focal speakers have a similar sound.The 1038Be springs to mind as having a similarly big,smooth,open sort of sound .The Ushers are incredibly cable fussy.Get the cabling w... 
Does anyone play two pairs of speakers at the same time?
That sounds almost as bad as having two wives! 
Yamaha NS 5000
If you look at the gallery pictures here you will find a picture of theĀ  NS5000s set up in a sound room.They sound superb in there.Any of my audio friends who have heard them in this system have been very impressed.It looks nothing special but sou... 
300B SET or EL34 SET
6C33c based SETs are really much better than a 300B or EL34 .The typical 300B SET will produce only about 6 watts whereas a 6C33C will produce more like 15 watts and provide around twice as much current.There are very few speakers that can be driv... 
Best Brands Out of These-Wharfendale,Bowers and Wilkinsons...
Is it correct that some of the older Splendors are similar to Rogerings?I have had no luck finding local Splendors but I have found a pair of jolly good Rogerings.Rogerings Studio 1s .The owner claims they are similar to Splendor BC 1s.

These Warfendales look OK-https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/north-yunderup/home-theatre-systems/home-theater/1233368030Or would I be better off with some Martin Bogans?They are electrotats. 
Highly efficient speakers to pair with my SET amp
I owned an Almarro 318B for several years.That was a very good amplifier.They are really more like 12 watts though.They work well with some of the vintage Tannoys.The Tannoy Cheviot [HPD315] for example.Or the Monitor Gold 15.Not the HPD 385 thoug... 
Has anyone heard FM Acoustics
Or you can just buy a Chinese copy-https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&... 
Dynaudio Evidence Master Speaker
I have heard them as part of a very high end system and thought they lacked musical engagement.Something stilted and mechanical sounding about them.That might have been the system and room though.I felt that the addition of a really good tube prea... 
Considering simplifying my system... talk me down (or whatever)
I suggest you look into the Bakoon integrated amps.Unfortunately none have inbuilt phono stages but they are compact minimalist sort of amplifiers and have incredibly natural and pure sound.They also sound superb with high sensitivity speakers lik...

Here is an article on the trend towards replacing welding and bolting of components in the automotive industry with adhesives because they are structurally superior.https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=...

No.I was not referring to that thread and was not aware of it.Nor did the quotes above from other members relate to it.
