Keith, that's a good quaestion and it's going to be an experiment. I guess you can call it Kennythekeys Amp (Integrated)...I'm not kidding.It's a one-of-a-kind design by Sam Kim of Sam's Audio Labs, and he's building it now based on the feedback I...

Good information, thanks guys.Rrsclyde - The DA-RMa's are boxey speakers. How's the depth of soundstage with them?

Thanks John, I will check them out!I have shortened my list for room size (small) and setup which now includes:1. Daedalus DA-RMa - I've heard that they're better with a higher powered tube amp. Anyone?2. Legacy Focus3. Sound Quest H-12 - Very lit...

Thanks David, this is a good basis to go by. I will check out your recommendations.One thing to note is that I'm not using a SET amp, nor is there a 300B involved. I'm having built a one-of-a-kind triode integrated using original Dynaco A470 trans...

I'm finally back (from NYC), and thanks for the additional information.I checked out the Zu line and they look like a good match for my room's setup. Perhaps the Essence would be a winner, so does anyone have experience with that speaker?The Parti...

Looks like I'll be leaving tomorrow to take care of family stuff, so I thought I'd add this. I've checked out the designs of KCS, Audiokinesis, Audio Note, Altec 19, and Tannoy speakers, plus others I’m a little hazy about. These are all beautiful...

Sorry, but I've never been a fan of Klipsch. Another thing I can't explain logically. It may be worth giving them another try because when I heard them last might have been under unfair conditions (wrong type of amplification).

Thanks Rleff, does anyone else have experience with the Merlins? I'm asking because of it's 89dB sensitivity.

Good Stuff.I checked out the thread Almarg, and it is quite lengthy but informative, so thanks. The Audio Notes look appealing and I may be able to pull off the room corner setup. What's easiest, is that I can see the dealer's audio store on the h...

I have a question! Are the horns mentioned above compatible with a fairly small room (15 x 13 x 10h)?I checked out the KCS speakers, but I have no room for a sub and not sure if the bookshelf models would give me the low end I need.

Thanks guys, I will check these out. 
What are the weakest components in my system?
I agree with amplifier upgrade and like Jrinkerptdnet's mention of a Vintage solution. Sam Kim of Sam's Audio Labs is a master circuit designer and vintage equipment restorer/upgrader. Sam upgraded my McIntosh MR-71 to Triode and it's amazing. Che...
