If you can find matched Tungsrams they won't disappoint. What are the stock tubes? 
Speakers to hang on to for LIFE
Von Schweikert VR-5 HSE. The only VS speaker my wife could live with in our living room. It makes no compromises compared to others on the 10-20k price range that I can think of. 
6Moons.com vs. Stereo Times
Stopped reading it years ago. You'd be better off trusting audioreview than 6 Moons at this point. Too bad, back in the day it seemed like they were going places. 
Burlington, VT - Any interest in starting a club?
I'm back.After a few years of working two full time jobs, my schedule has loosened up. I'm happy to entertain the idea again - but do we have enough interest to make it worthwhile?Let me know if you're game. 
Recommendations for Speakers that sound like Snell
I was raised on a pair of A's and later owned a pair of AIIIi. But I have never heard them truly disappear in any system. If they did I would have kept them forever. The B is the only model that has alluded me - I have owned all other models. Woul...

I've reached the beginning of the end - I hope
Agreed. Losing big money jobs will change your perspective. It's awesome growing up. 
Best Value Speaker Model for the Buck?
Monitor RS6. Stupid good value. 
Vacation Home System
Monitor Audio RS6 used, Rotel separates used. 
B&W Rip-Off
