| Help chossing a good speaker. $ 3-5 K The models listed in your post are all excellent choices. I'm a biased Dynaudio fan, but would be happy with any of the speakers you listed. | |
| House wiring for dedicated power to stereo Mmadden28... LOL, thanks for the chuckle! | |
| will adding a subwoofer improve overall audio I loved my REL Storm Mk III when I had it. | |

| Anyone know anything about the Pathos TT I owned this amp a few years back. Nice sound and the ability to roll tubes... just need relatively efficient speakers. I never regretted owning it, but had to move on when I changed to less efficient speakers. |
