Are Music Reference amps still available new?
Congrats on the Mk III and new website clio09!   Do you ever have trade-in's or refurbished MR amps for sale?  Again, thanks for recapping mine recently - it's sounding great and doing fine.  
Tannoy anyone? Cheviot Legacy vs. Stirling GR
hang in there Budburma they'll settle in.  Mine (new Stirlings 2019) took awhile to mellow out and become expansive but I swear they keep getting better all the time.  Congrats on a great choice you won't regret it.    
Roger Miller anyone?
A fan here for sure, classic.  As a kid growing up in the 60's frequently heard Roger on am radio and tv programs and as I've gotten older I have a real appreciation for him and other similar 60's Nashville sound artists of that era.  Sad that cig...

Recommend new EL84 tubes
I recommend Anthony at http://www.tubeaudiostore.com/ He's taken over the helm at Music Reference and has select EI and Sovtek EL84M.  I've used them exclusively in my RM10 for over 11 years and Never had one short or wear out.  
Impressions of Coincident Speakers
Hi Brad mine were placed about 8 feet apart between rack and about 18" from rear wall which is the long wall and sounded better with the woofers pointed inward.  Good luck and have fun!  
Impressions of Coincident Speakers
I owned a pair of Partial Eclipse II's for over 12 years that I bought new and have nothing but good things to say about them.  Always ran them with lower powered tube amps from 12 to 55 wpc.  When the amp wasn't up to snuff the Partials revealed ... 
Any love for Talon Raven-c speakers?
I had a pair in early 2000's I bought used and only ever ran them with a Pass X250 amp, Pass preamp and various CDP's.  I really enjoyed them.  Great sounding, powerful bass, good highs and mids - not harsh or fatiguing, at least with my setup.  T... 
Tannoy Stirlings on the way!
Big thanks muveling!  Looks like it's readily available a few places.  I've only waxed mine once since 2019 and the factory supplied will be gone in another application or so.  Curious, where did you order yours?  
Tannoy Stirlings on the way!
Been enjoying my Stirling GR's since 2019....no stands, subwoofers, etc.  Just a great amp, decent source and cabling is all I need - just as Tannoy intended them.  Best sound I ever had over and done - SNAP!  
Who are the Stand Up Guy's and Gals in this Audio Industry?
Anthony Chipelo of Music Reference/RAM Labs tubes.  Recently had my Music Reference RM10 Mk II serviced/recapped there and a great supplier of the best tubes for Music Reference amps.

Leaky capacitors need replacement?
Replaced my RM10 caps with the Nichicons George recommended in 1st paragraph, thanks George!.  All is well except the bias won't zero down and there seems to be a low hum over speakers at idle which I don't think was there before.  When the caps w... 
Leaky capacitors need replacement?
I'm in the same boat with my RM10 MkII....same caps have gone south and leaked....anybody know of a good, available replacement that fits easily?  TIA!
