Zu def 4 are they the best speaker made?
Love the Zu guys.Something very appealing about the "live" quality of their high sensitivity speakers. I have had Druid in and out of my setup several times. But they are currently sitting disconnected in the hallway. Because for me tonal balance ... 
Sonic qualities of SET output tubes?
Thank you for the very interesting answer!Will have to study it a bit.I did the swap using only 1 cut for a quick comparison.What you say seems to correspond with what I heard.Speakers are Revel F206. Even though nominally 8 ohm, the impedance cur... 
Sonic qualities of SET output tubes?
So I take it that higher impedance speakers make tubes sound better somehow.So I used the 4 ohm taps on my PrimaLuna HP Int to my "8 ohm" speakers instead of the 8 ohm taps, giving the speakers relatively higher impedance vis-a-vis the amp.And it ... 
Sonic qualities of SET output tubes?
Thanks Charles dad,Didn't realize this had gone to 2 pages when I posted. Will check it out.(BTW, thanks for the balanced power tip on a different thread.I now have 4 EquiTechs. Balanced power seems to be one of the best kept secrets in audio.)

stereo5,Let me know when you get your new speakers.We can discuss possible transaction.Not completely sure at the moment but have been known to change my mind several times a day where audio gear is concerned. :/Might be just the ticket. What I'm ... 
Speaker match for PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium HP Integrated?
Plugged the Revel 206 back in using 4 ohm tap and triode mode (based on those measurements, should be the best options), and now I wonder what I was thinking. Only someone with audiophilia nervosa (me?) wouldn't be pretty happy with what I am hear... 
Speaker match for PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium HP Integrated?
Stereo5...................Would consider that.Where are you located?I am in San Diego area.Thanks. 
Speaker match for PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium HP Integrated?
Scott,Thank you for providing the correct measurements.I guess I would say that ultralinear sounds pretty forward / edgy with the Zu.Probably has something to do with the bump at 2K-4K Hz that Kenny mentioned. With the Revel, ultralinear mode soun... 
Speaker match for PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium HP Integrated?
Sorry for creating confusion re: measurements for HP vs HP integrated. I kinda assumed they would be about the same so I misrepresented what George had said on a different thread. 
Primaluna dialogue premium HP tube rolling suggestions to reduce brightness
Hey George, Thanks for showing those curves and explaining it.Had been wondering what it was about ultra linear that seemed so unpleasant. 
Primaluna dialogue premium HP tube rolling suggestions to reduce brightness
