| Power amp suggestions for Peachtree & Triangle I really like the TAD Hibachi monoblocks with my Triangle Titus XS speakers, especially at moderate to lower volumes. Cometes should be even better!

| KEF LS 50 in NE Ohio? Seikosha, my amp before current Bel Cantos was 120 w/ch Musical Fidelity A3CR. Big sound difference between the two on my OHMs and with Dynaudios to a lesser extent. I wonder what the KEFs would sound like in your room with a good 250w/ch or highe... | |

There is a lesson to be learned there. My big OHM 5s are probably the m... | |

| Best Speakers for 10' x 12' room? Are the Pulsars worth $7000? That's a lot compared to many speakers that might work quite well in a room like that. Just wondering. THey look nice and company has a good rap but have never heard them. Has anyone done specific comparisons with othe... | |
| Amp recommendation for Klipsch Heresy Jolida Fx10 tube integrated is in your range. I've heard it. A slam dunk in your case if input support is sufficient.Glow audio also has inexpensive tube amps that have impressed me for <$1000.There are inexpensive Dared tube amps sold on amazo... | |

| What audio components are heirloom quality? I would like to speculate that someday when I go to the great listening room in the sky, my audio gear will become "family heirlooms" in that everyone in my family knows how fond I am of it and maybe that will encourage them to keep and use as hei... |
