What are the weakest components in my system?
I’ve asked it before in other posts and I’ll continue to ask it again; Are you using dedicated circuit breakers and some type of upgraded electrical outlets? If not and you are able to I’d start by upgrading your power (power filtration system). S...

"How would the Klipsch KLF-10 speakers do with low powered set tube amp?"The KFF-10 speakers would work very well and sound good. There's always a better sounding speaker to purchase but if you like horns, Klipsch is a good way to go. I've owned m...

Okay I Bought the Magnepan 3.6's
Stickman451,I used a couple of different Plinius amps and Plinius 8100 and 8150 intergraded amps, and a Krell KAV 400 XI. Those sounded good but the SX 1000 monoblocks sound great in all respects. I never compared the SX 1000 to any of the Pass La...
