Speaker recommendation for married couple
Cello,I'm happy for you that you found the speakers you both like,certainly not a easy task.Happy listening,Kenny. 
Amp Input impedance - old Macintosh C-20 preamp with modern SS amp
Toolbox,I don't see any issue with trying one a21 in your system,if your old Mac is up to it.I believe the c20 has a output impedance of 23k.Only way to know for sure is to try the pairing if you can.Best of luck,Kenny. 
Preamp recommendation
Srafi,Offcourse system synergy always comes in play with the matching of components from diff. Manufacturers,so my first pick would be to stay all in the krell family.The Vtl is a respectable and good warm sounding pre that has plenty of detail an... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Hello All,I took some time and read through this thread and all I got was Fused up,but I did like this,Both the voltage and the current alternate in AC. That follows from the fact that per Ohm’s Law, which applies to resistive loads, voltage and c... 
Best imaging up to 3k used?
I would recommend a ps audio jr,very neutral and has the qualities you desire in spades.Kenny. 
Good match for Rega Brio-R
I 2nd the harbeth's mentioned by miner,very good warm British sound and probably a good value used.Kenny. 
Gungnir sound before and after multi-bit upgrade?
I don't think the jr is dry at all in my system it's voiced to be neutral and some may find it dry all system dependent.I use the jr driving a first watt sit2 powering Zu audio def4's in my 2nd system.Kenny. 
Icon Audio Stereo 30 SE
Wulf,I didn't mention the Lm because is above your budget listed.We have a local audio club and I get to hear and borrow all kinds of gear and I have heard the 508 paired with signature SE and is a very good combo.I would prefer the 508 over the 5... 
Gungnir sound before and after multi-bit upgrade?
I was going to buy the Ygg and after 2 months of waiting I cancelled my order and got a ps audio junior,couldn't be happier.It also took about 2 months to get a Freya which is the worst sounding pre I've ever owned,I returned it and got a refund.I... 
Apartment Dweller's Paradise - The Ideal 2 ch. system?
Move out of the apartment and buy a house gives a lot more room,might even be able too have 2 systems like me. 
Speaker match for PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium HP Integrated?
I had the Druid v's and I currently own def 4's which are in my 2nd system.I upgraded both as much as possible and tried several amp combinations over a period of time and I came to the conclusion that the frd doesn't measure flat and has a bump u... 
Preamp with Tuner
What's a tuner? 
Icon Audio Stereo 30 SE
I meant to add the icon has switchable gain that might be useful,the legacy's are pretty efficient. 
Icon Audio Stereo 30 SE
Wulf,Iv'e had both the icon and the SE's but not at the same time.The icon stereo is a good amp especially for the price,I'm not a big fan of the kt88 tube but I do like the kt150 and 120.Unless you have a very large room or listen very loudly you... 
Golden ear triton 1 vs tekton double impact speakers
Charles,So very very true.I like too go by impressions from owners and not so much from just one or two reviews ,Offcourse always best to actually try something in your own room and gear.Kenny.
