Tube amp bias adjustment advice
So I have no balance adjustment, why am I hearing more from the left speaker than the right when I am seated in the middle?  They are both exactly the same distance from the back wall and at the same angle, within a 1/8 of an inch.

Tubes?
It all comes down to what sounds best to the listener (buyer). I had a Constellation amp/preamp and switched to tubes after hearing a setup at RMAF in 2016. I ended up buying the Voxativ 9.87 speakers and their integrated 211 tube amp, rated at 24... 
Does It Even Matter?
I have a psaudio direct stream DAC. I bought an audioengine to stream from my phone. I connected it to my DAC and was very disappointed in the sound quality compared to just streaming directly through the DAC. I didn’t think it would make such a n... 
Best Speakers for a small Nearfield room, budget at most $10000 (used is also ok)
Listen to Raidho or Borresen.  Compact in size with astounding sound, at least to my ears.

IKEA launches modular speaker line - watch out Wilson, Magico...
 Magico are all marketing hype. They pay for good reviews but are ho hum in performance. Who’s to say IKEA can’t beat them?  Let’s hear a true unbiased review comparing them to IKEA.  
PS Audio Support

BEST SPEAKERS AT A REASONABLE PRICE
Elac. Andrew Jones, aka Mr. TAD, is a genius. See if they are your cup of tea  
Best speakers out there for Midrange and Highs
I second Borreson, I heard them at RMAF this year in a very large room and they were superb. Raidho is also great. That being said, I ended up with Voxativ and am very happy. Very engaging to my ears 
New to audio. Is there a good DAC that can produce layers of sound?
What’s your budget for speakers and what’s the size of your listening room?
