Speaker for Coincident Dragons Mk 2 ? Help.
These are the same speakers (Legacy) that Mike Morrow from Morrow Audio used with a reference system powered by the Dragons. The Legacy's are well re guarded for there ability to work with lower power tube amps. Go check out the Legacy Audio websi... 
Help picking a tube preamp, please
The Modwright uses a standard ALPS type motorized volume...no steps. I like your idea of skipping the preamp and buying the MSB. 
Most enduring audio purchase
Speakers...Dynaudio's, Ive had them over 12 years and I love them. 
Mount up floorstanding speakers, should we?

Speaker for Coincident Dragons Mk 2 ? Help.
Legacy Audio, is the speaker line you should look at for the Dragons. very sensitive ratings and full range floor standing speakers. The Signatures are in your price range. Hope this helps narrow the field. 
Compare REL Model Lines
The older Britainia series B1, B2,B3 are the ones to find, the new ones are not built as well. Company has really changed over the last 5 years or so...and not for the better.

What sub under a grand?

Does JBL get a bad rap?
Hello Audiolabyrinth......WE WERE SPEAKING OF VINTAGE JBL"S FROM 40 YEARS AGO! I am not living under a rock! of course I know all about the new production JBL line. 
Does JBL get a bad rap?
I wanted 4311's ....WHEN I WAS THIRTEEN! Back in 1979. I'm not sold on old vintage JBL's, Save your breath for some one worthy. I think they are on a lower plateau than many speakers out there today including my Dynaudios. They don't compare when ...
