Roger - I own a pair of king sound - King v1 and a pair of King sound ks17 . This direct drive amp you spoke of , how does that work ? do I have to bypass the step up transformers , and do the speakers need to be modified to use that amp ?  
Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400.
A heads up to anyone considering a Lyngdorf . There is a American company called Exogal that is similar in it is a digital amplifier and made in the U.S. .

Dunlavy SCIVA'S... Mine sound bland
Even when properly powering the Dunlavy you are not going to get a dazzling sound . They are dead flat which will sound dead compared to other speakers that are not flat in response .  
Thoughts on Big Star
I am surprised no one has mentioned the sound quality of their records ? The three cd's I have from Big Star I would rate as the worse I have , in a 10k + collection.  
Speaker vibration isolation
The isoacoustics Gaia have been a nice improvement on 6 different speakers I have tried them on including 2 pairs of King Sound electrostatic speakers along with box speakers . Buy them from a place that has a 30 day return policy .
