Tube Amp Recommendations
Blue Circle works well with them.. 
Krell F.B.I.
What is the MSRP going to be? Hopefully not 10k or something ridiculous... 
difficult choice EC/BAT
BAT VK 60 won't be enough juice... 
Recommend a Used Solid State Preamp for About $5k
Pass X-1?I'm a fan of matching preamps/amps if at all possible... 
Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 7 vs. Kharma 3.2
I think the 3.2s are nice, but no bass for over 20k would make me pause. 
BAT's house sound
Love my 51SE/75SE combo. It seems most BAT owners end up with entire BAT systems.And thanks to Tom for steering me straight! Have not questioned the move once.Cheers,Keith in LA 
Wilson Sophia
sophias will run fine on the Mc. they will only get better as your system grows. i started with a BAT integrated on mine and it sounded great. then i moved up to BAT separates, and its a whole nother league...

I'm mesmerized (by a now) $19k 125 watt amp that weighs 50-60 lbs.Connect it to some $22k+ Kharma Ref3.2s which don't go beneath 50hz.That's over $40k for a non-full range sound.Anyone else thinks some of what is being talked about is ridiculous, ... 
Wilson Audio, Talon, Rockport and B&W
I really would skip the 7s and look to Maxx2s. I prefer them to the Firebirds a few friends have fwiw, and also with my limited experience with the Rockports at CES this year. 
Balanced audio 31 and 31se pre amp any good?
I just got my 51SE to match my 75SE, and I'm in heaven.I've owned the 50SE (didn't like at all) and the 31SE. Thank you again Tom!Keith
