Hegel Design Flaw?
So your dealer not only would not help, but only offered you partial money back? Why aren't you outing the dealer's name in addition to Hegel? 
Help me decide – Revel or Focal
Thanks, James. The room is pretty hot with all the glass and the tile floor. The glass, sheetrock and a 10' X 8' X 5' bumpout at the left rear of the room also tend to munch bass. Thank God for the suspended floor, as tile over concrete likely wou...

Did you bring the amp back to the dealer and have them run it in one of their systems? That would have shown whether the issues was with the amp or something else.

If Revel Salon 2s were particularly lean, they wouldn't have lasted a month in my room.

Well I just discovered palm trees could be very beneficial to my system's sound, so why not Jerusalem almonds? 
Weird problem. Bad tube or something else?
This has turned into a fowl thread. 
Plinius SA301 Or Bryston 4bsst2?
The Plinius SB-301 is not switchable between Class A and Class AB the same way the SA-103 is. Also not sure what basis there is to say that Bryston amps are more reliable than Plinus. They may carry a longer warranty, but there are any number of P... 
Plinius SA301 Or Bryston 4bsst2?
I assume you meant the Plinius SB-301? If so, I owned that amp and it is very nice. Just a bit rolled off on the top and a bass beast. If you are looking to tame the Thiel's top end, it would be a good choice. Plus John Atkinson's Stereophile meas...

My point is I've dealt with a couple of guys who were honest and did not sell me junk.

"Call Andy ASAP for the only honest tube guy."Really? There's only one honest tube guy on the whole planet?
