Good question, lots of answers.
What exactly was "the question"?Oz 
Tube Amp Suggestions
Do you listen to test tones or music? I guarantee you that any moderately good sounding tube amp will slay your SS home theater amps. Oz 
Von Schweikert VR2 vs Sonus Faber Grand Piano H
One thing I can see from your pics is that the VR2s are too close together. I realize that your options are probably limited, but that is what I found to be true when I had the VR2s. They sounded their best at about 10 ft. apart (measured from the... 
Survey-What is your most used source?

Speakers you regret selling
I had only slight remorse about selling the maggies, didn't last long. I have had the VR2s since March, but they ship out today. A very nice speaker which does a lot of things right, but can't match the magic of the Montanas.Oz 
Speakers you regret selling
I regret selling my Montana SP2 Sigs to my buddy. BUT......I have remedied that situation. I found another pair on the AA classifieds last week and they will be arriving by freight carrier to me today. I was extremely lucky to get the jump on the ... 
Von Schweikert VR2 vs VR3
The VR2 is far better than the VR3. I recently had my VR2s up for sale, and I do believe you contacted me about them. After looking at and listening to other contenders, I have decided to keep them. I don't think I can better them anywhere near th... 
speakers with BAT
I did try several NOS tubes but could not achieve the sound I wanted. So I sold it and moved on.BTW, the BAT can be bettered by a good TVC. I currently have a custom preamp using the TX-102s from S&B and there is no paramater you care to menti... 
speakers with BAT
One piece of advice. Make sure you hang on to that VK3 until the 30 arrives. I was in the same situation a few years ago with a VK-3i and a VK-30 that I won from the Audio Revolution website (that's right, it was FREE). I sold the 3i too soon, it ... 
Best used speaker for $2,000 for rock music
You need to add Von Schweikert VR2s to your short list. In the right room, these speakers do it all and do it extremely well. This includes dynamic rock or metal. And best of all, they can be found on the used market for well under what you are wi... 
Isolation Shelves
Yep, no problems with it on top of any rack. I do use the coupling discs under the Sistrum.BTW, replacing my rack with one of these also reaped huge benefits on my digital front end.http://adonacorporation.com/nemesis.html 
Isolation Shelves
I have the player and sistrum on the 2nd shelf of my Adona equipment rack. But you do need a little extra clearance with the SP-1 under a component.Oz 
Isolation Shelves
The JD100 sounds great on a Sistrum SP-1. I have mine set up this way and the difference with and w/o is not subtle. It is indeed money well spent.Oz 
Has anyone heard the 6N1P preamp tube?
Be careful. The 6N1P is not compatible in all circuits using 6922s. You should call Mike Elliot before you try such a thing.My phono preamp uses 6N1Ps and I am using cryoed Svetlanas. They sound very good to my ears.Oz 
Speakers to consider in the $2200 range
I second the suggestion for VS VR2s. This is an extremely dynamic and cohesive speaker. With all the people dumping them to upgrade to the Jr., you can get a killer deal on a pair. They will be hard to beat anywhere near the price.Oz
