Tekton haters and bashers you just got a new target!
Sometimes more engineers in the same sandbox is not a good thing at all. Let alone the bureaucratic BS that lives to a certain extent in every larger company.   
B&W 802 D2 Capacitors Worth Upgrading?
Of course tube preamp and ss amp is a popular combination. Get a good portion of that tube goodness distortion whatever and still have slammin bass.    Also I agree don’t mess with the crossovers in the BWs unless you don’t like the sound and wan... 
Speakers need to be placed close to back wall. Help
Guru QM5 v2. Great little banging speakers that demand wall placement.   
Which pair of speakers changed your Hifi life?
Paradigm S4s original in BirdsEye Maple. I never heard detail like that before. Back in like 2009 living in Shanghai China.  They played some Studio 40 v… something side by side and no comparison  
Speaker pairings for Lyngdorf 2170
The 2170 IMHO needs fairly efficient speakers to shine.   
Which pair of speakers changed your Hifi life?
Paradigm Signature 40s . Never heard detail or highs like that. Came from Klipsch RF7s as the last speaker I had at that point. The detail was off the charts for me and that’s what I chased for years.    Tone vs detail vs timing is what it’s all ... 
Something on top of a speaker=okay?
If you want to put stuffed animals on your speakers you absolutely need to measure them for size down to a couple thousandths of an inch and weight to 1mg otherwise your soundstage will be total crap 💩.

Bizarre question. Please bear with me.
Pair on reverb for 46 bucks. Could buy them and keep one for spare parts.   
The Best Speakers in the World!
Enjoy your cheap Chinese whizzer cones man! Good for you.   
Pioneer EX Speakers
Another plus is they are very tube friendly. Sounds amazing up to high 80db s with my cheapo 50 watt tube integrated when I hook it up.   
Pioneer EX Speakers
Don’t know about the 3ex but I’ve had the 1ex for a couple years now. They are really amazing with a good front end. Very revealing. Not show offy but play a well recorded album and they are full range fantastic. Very layered and great tone. I wou... 
Krell K3001 vs. NAD M33
Never heard a class D that I liked that much except for Lyngdorf and that was only with the room correction. All were pretty sterile. everyone raves about the Krell. I want one. That’s what I would get. That said if I heard both and liked the NAD... 
Help me spend $6000
Booze Rawks!   
Which DACs are known to be sweet/rich/relaxed?
I’m saying from the OP:   “Objective Nudge the system towards a sweeter, richer, more relaxed presentation.” “Proposed solution / first step Upgrade to a (tube based) DAC, budget $25-40k.” A company that sells this would never send it to a rep...
