Best sounding low power (under 80watts) Class AB amp?
I'll second the AGD Audion....pricey but smooooooooth. I stayed in that room at Florida Hi Fi Expo last year for almost an hour. A less expensive alternate at $2500 is the Peachtree GaN 400....Smooth as tubes with great soundstage and not a hint o...

@moofoo I’m very impressed with Vlad at AUDIO MIRROR......I may look into his amps because of how musical his Toubadour IV SE DAC is.....that I own.

When CDs first came onto the market in 1982 .......
Sony’s CD-1 was the first CD player on the market...not much larger than the cd itself...I believe it was $300 .....used it for a few years and then upgraded when the market got flooded with cd players from every brand imaginable.....gave it to my... 
Is a highly discerning system enjoyable?
Most "older" audiophiles have switched from SS to tubes because they simply are more "Musical".....less detail but more pure enjoyment...and isn’t that really why we’re here.......And there’s lots of high quality speakers that run on that lower tu... 
After fifty years… amazing. What high end audio can be.
With age comes wisdom........Why are many of us "older" music lovers moving from SS to putting Tubes in our Hi Fi rigs.... Heck, I even have a tube in my Audio Mirror DAC......The music my friends...it's All about the Music........

Two powered subs with bookshelf speakers or two floor-standing speakers?
You’ll never use your bookshelves again if you get a good pair of floorstanders. My Tekton Pendragons give you deep solid lows...smooth mids and slightly rolled off highs but detailed. Very musical and $2500 pr. Get the 7 tweeter array option.  
The best plug in filter ever!
My 15K system is more "musical and less analytical" with the Puron. Definitely worth more than the $250 cost. Buy one and try it.  
Soundstage drastically worsened when I replaced a solid state AV amp with tubes.
He's hooked something up incorrectly. Tubes ALWAYS give you a bigger , wider soundstage than SS.  
The revolution has begun!
I have the Peachtree GaN 400...400 watt GaNfet amp. For $2500 there is no amp near it...a/b or Gan that is as smooth and musical. More so than my famed 845 tube amp. Must be paired with tube preamp ( Audio-gd). My LSR+ Maggies sing like a 5K-10K s...
