Cool. I had a McIntosh MR71 Tuner that was upgraded by Audio Classics some years back. It sounded really good, but today's heavy cables caused stress on those old jacks. I sent the tuner to Sam, and he upgraded all the jacks. He then converted the...

Very important recommendation! Contact Sam's Audio Labs. Sam is "the" expert on your amp. 
I know this has probably been discussed...

Tvad - I have looked into Audiokinesis but at their Jazz Modules that are less. I wasn't aware, from their website, that this model even existed. I'll check it out.I've researched "most" of the high efficiency speakers including Duke's and Lou's. ...
