I feel your pain. I've broken up with speakers before and have always gotten over it. The next one's always better.

Not in my case. My wife knows her Sister lives right around the corner and loves me. 
Best rock song of all times
Jim Dandy to the Rescue. Black Oak Arkansas version. Go Jim Dandy! 
Your 5 Fav Rock Concerts
Black Oak Arkansas, Ten Years After, Johnny Winter , ZZ Topp, Led Zep. I've also heard and seen more of the greatest, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Skynyrd, Rolling Stones etc. I've heard (depending on who was in the band at the time) Jim Dandy... 
Tube Amp Recommendations
Likecap is right. I have a mint Cary V12R and will probably never let it go. I hooked it up to a new Cary SLP98P preamp and can't be happier, but then again, I do not think there is such a thing as Majic or Nervanna in music. It's all about the Be...

Thanks to all! Wholly Shizit. I guess some people are willing to pay anything. I'm trying to find or listen to Ochoea (?) speakers, I think they are made in Ireland. Found the site once but not sure of spelling. Has anyone ever heard these? Thanks 
Volume difficulty with Krell preamp / Adcom tuner
Outputs may be fixed. Be careful cranking it up. BTW I have a Cary V12R how do you like the amp? I love mine. 
tukans vs. katans
Thanks Muzikat, the speakers are for a 2nd system in the same room. I have a Cary V12R tube amp hooked to a Cary SLP98P tube preamp. It is just too hot in the room to run it in the summer. I was going to use my Klipsch Quartets for the bigger syst... 
How many People own Working Reel to Reel Decks?
I used to own a Teac X1000R. It had DBX noise reduction. Now it's back to vinal. I wish there was a way to record onto blank vinal discs. 
newbs about tubes
Ruby makes great sounding tubes. I use them in my Cary V12R amp. They can be purchased from Cary Audio, or from ruby tubes. 
Holographic imaging
Rebi is right. I went from a McIntosh 7270 amp hooked to a Carver C-1 Preamp with the hologram generator built in. I also had a graphic eq, parametric eq, spatial enhancer, dbx range expander, bbe sonic max, and other signal processors. I sold eve... 
Tube Pre-amp with SS AMP or stay all SS?
I had a Mcintosh 7270 amp and hooked it up to a new Cary SLP98P preamp and it sounded great! I sold the Mac after 17 years and hooked up a Cary V12R amp to the Cary preamp and could not be happier. Rule of thumb, SS amp to tube preamp, no tube amp... 
No escrow?
Use a credit card. If you do not receive the item, do a charge back, or use paypal. Money order can be cashed, and you may not receive the item. If seller refuses CC or paypal, look elsewhere, there is always something else at the same price or be... 
Anyone permanently convert from tubes to SS?
I too agree that McIntosh (7270) to Klipsch (Quartets) or any Klipsch speakers is a good marriage, but after geting a Cary SLP98P tube preamp and a Cary V12R tube amp, the tubes simply blow away SS. I got rid of tone controls, graphic eq, parametr...
