Amplifier knobs...where to "set" on the clock?
With the volume set at noon, where is the volume set on the pre when listening at loudest levels. 
members and their systems
I bought and sold some audio gear between 1983 and 85 in the process of putting together a system I lived with for 26 years. During that time I continued my education, worked full time, raised 3 kids and put them through college. Over the last 10 ... 
amazing video about listening, in a very special heartfelt way.
Yes, great! Must share with my wife and kids. Thanks! 
Floor Speakers Speakers for Movies / TV

@facten Thanks, I will reach out to Tone. Possible that the 518 also has a passive preamp stage with all tubes in the amplifier. My 211 lacks the preamp input. It seems to me that an amplifier having a sensitivity of 200mV would not require, and p...

Taking time (and time outs) to enjoy the ride...
Yes, there is more to any hobby than the end result.  
New to streaming, looking for a budget streamer
Well I have not ordered the Bluesound yet. There is a dealer about 50 miles from my home which I frequent (pre covid) that sell it. I am going to give them my business once I can get there as opposed to purchasing online. Been at this hobby for 50...

How big is your room? How far are you from the TV and speakers?Maybe you could use a pair of stand mounts that roll off the lower octave. 
Outlaw vs. B&K
Yes, I once owned the B&K Pro10MC paired with the ST-140 amp. Bought it in 1985 and it served me well for 25 years. Never has any problems. 
First HIFI system
Having too much fun here. Two others to add, the Wharfedale D300 or the Wharfedale Diamond 12.3 . All my recommendations have a US list price between $600 and $800 except for the JBL A190. Pay attention to the sensitivity rating and the minimum im...
