Cambridge CXC: Help finding a small, programmable remote?
Seems to be just what you asked for. It is small, and it works fine with the CXC. Hey, for $20 had to give it a try.

Yes, If I could find another BEL of recent vintage at the right price. I am really on the fence on this. I have been wanting to hear the Pulsars for some time and am now in a position to  
Cambridge CXC: Help finding a small, programmable remote?
I ordered the remote suggested by tobaccoleafpie. Just received it and only know that it turns the CXC on. Will give it a workout later and get back to you.  Got it off Amazon for $20.

Thanks all!  I consider the BEL to be borderline in wattage. It is a brut for a 50 watter however.  If I indeed purchase the Pulsars, I will approach the volume with caution. My BEL was made in 2007, so not long prior to Mr. Brown passing away. I ...

Amp Pairing for Aerial Acoustics 6Ts.

Matching tube preamp to ss amp
There are a number of tube preamps  within your budget that have a lower output impedance. Jolida, Aric Audio, Quicksilver, Atma-Sphere, Van Alstine, Rogue, and others. Otherwise look for an amp with higher input impedance. Either way when changin... 
Matching tube preamp to ss amp
It is not be the best match, as others have said,  it is borderline. How low in the bass region do your speakers go? How do the pair sound to you? While saving for another amp. look into ones having input impedance of 50ohms or greater.  
Turned Off My Subwoofer ... And My Speakers Sound Great
Given you have excellent speakers, known to sound 'bigger' regarding bass than their size might suggest, in such a small room I am not surprised at your experience. Many reasons have been aforementioned herein.  I think I would not trouble myself ... 
A Couple Little Things I'm Wondering About
Make your own elevators out of cardboard. Take a listen. Please post results.  
Need advice! Do I upgrade DAC or buy a new player?
@rikintpa What did you decide? 
More money toward better speakers or a better DAC?
I believe most would agree with you that the Bluesound Node does 'confines' the music and that it is the weak link in your system. Many have posted here that they use it with an outboard DAC.
