Holy Cow. My Vandersteen Treo's sound like new..
Geez, If I still lived in NJ I suppose I'd have a lot less money in the bank. At any rate, I love John as a audio dealer, but I am glad I discovered the world of DHT 300B SET, it suits me better. I've always liked Vandersteen and convinced several... 
What's the greatest bargain in SET these days?
Rebbi,Yes, I agree completely. To me you just cannot beat a 300B SET DHT amplifier provided all your ancillary equipment is synergistic.Really happy you are enjoying the music so much. This what it is all about. And a big thank you for paving the ...

Keep us posted on the Dynamo. I owned the RM10 and loved it. Regret selling it. Terrific little amp. Best. 
High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps
Charles,Believe it or not one was for sale here for less than $600.00. I just missed it! At any rate I am on the hunt. If I must pay full price, that is ok. Beats paying $7,000 plus for the latest Lampizator. I am happy with the MiniMax DAC, likel...

Rebbi,Browns fan gives sage advice, as does Mapman. I really like the Tekton speakers that I own, but also really like the De Capo's as well. My gut feeling is that the AN Kit-1 is a superb match with the De Capo as you described and should get be... 
Harbeth 30.1's w/Leben CS-1000P or CS-600
My brother has the Leben CS600 with Harbeth SHL5, they are sublime, great combo. 
Goertz still the choice with Vandersteen?
I like my AG1 Silver very much in my main system.

Charles,Tone, harmonics, presence, "if ain't got that, it ain't got nothin'! This year I plan to get to a number of shows. The last one I went to was AXPONA in Jacksonville, FL with my wife, that was a couple of years ago; and you are absolutely r...

Sebrof,I agree with your comment that the Lore plays nice and full at low volume. The M-Lore does as well. And by-the-way, I think the Tekton is a refined speaker, the De Capo doesn't beat it in this regard either, just different.

Rebbi,The Tektons play very well at low volume. In my listening room, 14x16, I generally have the volume near 9 o'clock. At 10’clock it starts to really rock the room. When at 8’o'clock it is quiet. Yet very clear and still dynamic. Remember, this... 
High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps
Rebbi,I like the De Capo a lot; but I like both Tektons much better. First, the bass is really, really good. Remember, I am a bass player. The Tekton is easy to drive, benevolent 8 ohm impedance, 95db, 98db efficiency, 38hz or 30hz bass. They thro...

Last comment: you could also have Eric Alexander put in a Mundorf silver cap, it's inexpensive, raises the bar even more. 
High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps
Rebbi,I'll sit here and laugh my evil laugh joyously listening to my various Tekton speakers (M-Lore/Lore $650 and $1,000 respectively). I did refer you to that Tim Smith Wall of Sound review previously, more than once in your previous threads. I ...

Saki70,It really boils down to equipment mismatch.
