Luxman CL38U-SE in the house
One of the first albums I tried was Sanata's Abraxas. I alwas thought the recording was dark and had no pace. When I installed the Luxman the sharp guitar licks were suddenly there.

The CL38U-SE is an all tube preamp. I have it hooked up to a Bryston 2.5 SST2 and a pair of Aerial 5T speakers.

Audio Video Therapy Nashua NH. I went w/the all tube integrated and it just locked in my whole system. By the way all Luxman products are now made in Japan. Quality is even better. I was a big CJ fan but they are a step above.

A great speaker. You can't get a better speaker for the used price you'll pay.

Classe Audio rises again
Curious to see if they make product in Canada or China. But great news for getting a second life.  
Picking a Tube integrated amp
I would also add the Conrad Johnson CAV-45 to the list. Smooth highs and a detailed full mid range. 
Aerial 5T impressions
My dealer let me take a pair of 5T's home for a demo back in August. I had a pair of 10 year old Aerial 6's and was hesitant from going from a floor stander to a monitor. After 4 days of A/B testing the 5T's stayed and I sold the older 6's. I don'... 
Thiel Owners
Just because a company goes under doesn’t mean they can’t be fixed. A friend of mine owns some Snell speakers and kits are still available to still maintain them. In my case I still own 2 Threshold 50 amps and a Forte 6 amp. I have local techs tha... 
More Bad News AT Thiel
Al Griffen of Soundstagenetwork.com had a review of the Thiel $899 Aurora Home Wireless speaker. Okay at normal levels but the top end tended to be harsh. He compared the Thiel w/the Naim Mu-so Qb and the $499 Riva Audio Festival both of which gav... 
Since Dennis Had left Cary has the company built any new tube equipment?
One thing to be aware about Cary if you buy from a dealer the warranty starts the day Cary sent it to the dealer. If it has been sitting at the dealer for a year your warranty will only be 2 years not 3.
