Kharma 1.0/ Talon Khorus/Watt Puppy 6 or Sonata?
Look at the new Von Schweikert DB100 and the DB99 which is not on their site yet.This is a speaker designed for SET amps like yours. I don't think you have enough power for the other speakers. 
MD108 VS. MD102
I had a 102 until I got a Mcintosh MR71 on Ebay and sent it to Audio Classics for an upgrade performed by Richard Modafferi who designed the MR78. Cost for the tuner $650 and $500 for the upgade.It was not even close when comparing. Charlie at Vac...

Feedback on CARY products....
I had the Cary 300SEI and it didn't impress me at all. You could do better with a $1500 solid state. 
Hidden GEMS
Kora - All of their products are close to state of the art at reasonable prices, which will soon be going up. If you are into tubes check them out. They are cosmetically attractive as well. 
I just heard the Nautilus 800
Hi BMP, Lyric has them setup. 
Kora amps
I have the Galaxy and it very musical and sounds much better than it's price of $2500. It is a true audio bargain.Also I just got the Hermes Dac from Kora at $1500 and it is phenomenol. It looks like it should cost $3000-4000 and sounds like it. P... 
Anyone Hear the New Nautilus 800 Yet?
Not Bad.They were with Burmester electronics.It was a quick audition without my music. 
Integrating two systems
I have a main system and also 5 rooms with inwall spaeakers.The only way to do it is a separate power amp using a common preamp with 2 outputs. It didn't work well until I bought a 12 channel Sonance amp. All rooms are run through separate passive... 
Custom jumpers?
Analysis Plus makes good jumpers with bananas that are easy to use with spaded speaker wire. Oliver has them at delveaudio@aol.com. I have three pair in different systems and instantly noticed the improvement. 
Art Audio Jota - Tube Modifications
Tomryan- The power tubes are fine with no problems such as ringing.The sound is very detailed with real bass and not overly warm or soft at all. I had a Cary 300 SEI with Western Electric tubes that I didn't like at all. No set magic, no detail ju... 
Art Audio Jota - Tube Modifications
Thanks for the info. I have a Diavolo which is similar. I spoke to Andy and bought some tubes to try and found him to be very knowledgable. I have been using Siemans CCA which I thought were very good but he explained to me they are East German tu... 
Art Audio Amps
I have the Diavolo and find it to be very resolving with great bass.No ringing of the tubes and the KR tubes are available from Art Audio or Welborne Labs.They will last several years at least. The PX 25 at only 6 watts is supposed to be the best ...
