Full Range vs Trad xover design
ses = sensitivity,any speaker below 90 db = junk = Dinasaur Era speakers, Full Range is the  superior  voice for music. Xover's only muddy, pollute the source.  Xover/Conventional speakers is <<Low Fidelity>> Full Range = High Fidelity... 
How loud are you typically listening?
@tcutter,Very good point.Anywhere from 70-82db at 9 feet away from speaker. For me this depends on the quality of the music and recording itself. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Yes agree, if i am really into say Schnittke or Pettersson and feel like blowing th...

low volume for me, not sure why audiophiles like loud. I am about to build a  david Louis 10 inch full range + titanium tweet, now i can add a  bit more gain. My Thors sound great but need a  larger room size for added gain. My Thors will match an... 
Ready, set, comment! Speaker cables don’t make a difference?
Only  slight nuance, But a  nuance is a nuance = a plus, Now some  IC's sound crappy = minus nuance. The Best IC's are navships ebay, see all my YT vids fora  sound test,  
My journey to find a speaker + amp + setup for classical music (piano)
cayin 88 tube amp, or the baby EL34 @ $700+ DavidLouis full range, 8 inch + Cayin or Shanling cd player. Best sound for the buck,I will build a  10 inch + Titanium  horn tweet full range in about 3 months. Bet will  beat out my SEAS Thors 
Tube preamp suggestion
add the Cayin SC6 on your list $1500, put a  quad of Teles in the AU

EH 6550s or Svetlana 6550C
Keep in mind and please disregard all my comments about kt88=6550Richard Gray showed me in his Sylvania Tube text book,a  kt88 is NOT equal to a  6550. Close but no cigar.They have  slightly  dif specs. The 6550 has a tad more power handling, spec... 
KT120 Tube compatibility w/ Jadis Defy 7 Amp MK 1
Richard explained with EDU/science why the Defy will not like running  kt120's, Best stay with 6550/kt88. 
Svetlana KT-88
well I am sure the NOS <<most liklely are superior>> to the new stock,, but  considering out options, the new stock is perhaps best sound 6550 in production. Thats all that matters to me. One guy made a  comment on his ebay purchse, &l...

“TAD” Tubes
<<tad dif build>> correction, look near identical to all other 6550;sThat said, I can attest that each lab 's 6550's/kt88 (same tube) will vary ever so slightly in sonics, The ever popular Gold Lion 6550's did not meet the sonics that ...
