Melos 333 R or BAT VK5i
Having listened to all of these mentioned pieces extensively. And also owning all of them at some point.Think about this, the VK5i will be much easier to get serviced " for the long haul " Who knows when Carlo will get tired of repairing Melos? Th... 
Proac vs. Meadowlark
hmmmm parameters? Something that has the Proac midrange magic, with the Shearwater bass. At the price of a used Meadowlark Shearwater. How does that grab you? Quicksilver V4's, BAT VK5i, Bel Canto dac 1, Esoteric P-10 Transport. 
Proac vs. Meadowlark
Rg,You bring up a interesting point about the Proac. Maybe a bit more in the mids, but I don't want to get a sub. Besides, the 1SC does retail for $500 dollars more than the Kestrel, it should be a bit better :) But I think I will focus on the Mea... 
Proac vs. Meadowlark
Cellorover,Just when I get it down to 2 different speakers, you through another name at me :) Silverline? hmmm... I'm assuming they are similar to the two I am interested in? 
Proac vs. Meadowlark
Cellorover,I think you pretty well covered it! I was most curious about the bass, and the midrange. I do prefer my midrange a bit sweet, so most likely I will go with Meadowlark. But perhaps I will opt to get a pair of used Shearwaters. I am inter... 
VTL Service ??
I was interested in VTL also, but I could not get any information about their products upon inquiring directly to VTL. I later listened to their equipment at a audio dealer. I continued to attempt to contact VTL directly, but they would not respon...

Can any one tell me if Odyssey Stratus has a website? 
6L6 tube?
Creeper,Hmmmm, I bought some Sylviania 6L6's ( for sale BTW ) I found them to be slightly better in the mids. But defintiely lacked the bass. I guess from your experince it won't be worth my trouble to find the Russian 6n3c's. I am a big fan of th... 
EL34 tubes Vrs. 6L6 tubes
I found the 6L6's to be only slightly better in the mids. And when it came to bass it was non-existent compared to the el34. Try Svetlana el34's, in my amps they smoked the Tesla's 
best used amp for 300- 400
" so i want power and good bass but also want good upper frequency perfomance as well. "Well if this is possible ( at this price ) then all of us who have spent more than this, are wasting our money :) 
Signalcable Company
I have a pair of the ic's and a pc. Nothing will sound as good at the price he offers! 
6L6 tube?
Creeper,You beat me too those tubes! Let me know what you think of them. 
Electro Harmonix valves vs...
The Svetlanas are a little smoother ( IMHO ) in the mids and maybe a bit more bass. Of course it will depend on what your associate equipment is, as to how well you will notice a difference. Check out this website and read what they say about the ... 
6L6 tube?
Never mind I figured it out myself. The 6NC3 is a Russian tube that can be used as a 6L6. Except the " N " is actually a letter/symbol in the Russian language that we don't have on our keybaord.In case anyone has bothered to read this thread. Now ... 
What should I upgrade next?
ho hum.............. I'm getting bored. I bought my speakers last in my system, and it sounds wonderful!
