Reference 3A Decapo "i" sounds shrilly
>Maybe they need more power or current than your amp can deliver.<Not likely, since they were designed around SETs. I sincerely doubt that is the problem.BTW, I am pretty familiar with this speaker. It does have a foreward sounding midrange.... 
Alon speakers - mark I vs. II
I thought the Mark II version had the wrap around grill cloth around the open baffle and the Mark I did not. I have a pair of Alon I Mark IIs in my video system that the original owner restored back to the look of the Mark I.Oz 
Recommend a TT/Tonearm combo under $2000?
I agree with the Spacedeck recommendation. There are several on Agon now, with and w/o arms. The new Ace-Space arm is a decided improvement over the old arm. This combination just plain makes music.Oz 
Pantode and Tetrode What is the difference?
"What is the difference between Pantode and Tetrode tube?"What is the difference between the analog forum and the amp forum? Maybe you should concentrate on THAT one first.......Oz 
Mccormack DNA125 or Belles 150A Hot Rod
Not to divert the thread here, but does anyone (4yanx or Saygrr) know if the DNA-2 has the Plitron transformer? I am pretty sure it does, but not exactly. I have one coming tomorrow to replace my DNA-1 deluxe monoblocks. I am hoping this is a step... 
Speakers for metal, hard rock ... also SS amp
Lucinda Williams should NEVER be left out.......Oz 
Looking for more amp power for ACI Jaguars
I owned the Jaguars a few years ago and found them very amp friendly. I drove them with 100 watts of tube power in a room almost the same size as yours. I never felt the need for more power, but on kick drum heavy material I could definitely botto... 
magnepan 1.6 needs help in the bass
Which ever sub you decide to go with, 60 Hz might be too high for the xover point. In my old largish room, the 1.6s were flat to 40 Hz. If I were you I would run them full range and bring the sub in around 30-35.Oz 
List of top phono preamps best
Second the K&K recommendation. You won't be disappointed.Oz 
What will beat ear 834p by a margin
The K&K Audio phono stage will beat the 834 by a country mile. I have owned both and still have the K&K.Oz 
Subwoofer reccomendations
Gmood is right. In a small room you aren't likely to better the Rocket sub. It is highly musical, favoring quality over quantity. It wouldn't be my first choice for movies or even music in a large room, but for your needs it should be perfect.Oz 
Best phono stage balanced under $3000 used
I agree with Cedar. The K&K is a couple of levels above the 834P.Oz 
New 11' x 7' listening room....small speaker?
Dedicated. No TV, no computer, no dual duty anything. Music First. A chair, love seat, room treatment, records, seedees and equipment. I just re-posted it here on Agon.Oz 
New 11' x 7' listening room....small speaker?
I have the speakers set up on the short wall. It is a dedicated room, so I can have them anywhere and sit anywhere. They are set up using the Cardas placement for planars. SS is deep and wide in this position. I wouldn't want them on the long wall... 
Magnepans in a small room
You might get away with 12s in that room. But 1.6s would probably be a bit too much.Oz
