What is the right thing here................
Hi Dan, I would go for trying to get him to split the cost of the new driver, if that is fruitless then I would go get the speakers, refund the money and end this business relationship. It sounds like you're reasonable and it sounds like he maybe ... 
Best cheap NOS tubes:GE, Phillips and Sylvania
Rocc - I'm very happy with Mullards in my premier 14 over stock GE and Sylvania. Try Upscale audio, at the very least you should have different types of tubes to experiment with. I was using stock for a while and switched speaker cables from Kimbe... 
Cable suggestions for Martin Logan
Mingus, I own MIT Term 2 and 750+ series 3 - the 750 is far superior to the term 2 in every way.

Cable recommendation for Classe-Sonus Faber set up
Try Alpha Core Goertz MI-2's. Buy direct from factory for a 30 day trial. I'm using between Classe 200 and Thiel 3.6 and it is head and shoulders better than MIT, Kimber 8TC, and Coincident in my system. Speed, clarity, smooth, and images like a w...

Different preamp, but I have the premier 14 and replaced stock 6GK5's with Mullards and the improvement is not subtle. Much sweeter, more bass, richer midrange. The 14 is absolutely quiet with both types of tubes. 
Good upgrade amp for my Thiel 3.6s
Justin, what preamp are you using? If I missed it above, sorry. A really good preamp really shines through the Thiels. I'm driving my 3.6's with classe ca200 and cj premier 14 with Mullard tubes - more than enough power. Great soundstage, awesome ... 
were should best cable go - CD or Preamp?
Hi Grateful - this question will draw lots of different opinions so I will offer mine. I think the more revealing cable should go between preamp and amp depending on a variety of factors. First, the resolving quality of the pre and amp, if it is a... 
CJ Preamp help please
I just got the 14, using with classe ca200... 
CJ Preamp help please
Thanks Gino, I got a premier 14 with both stock tubes and a pair of Mullard's and Hitachi's I believe. The stock tubes sound to me like they have a little more air and the others I mentioned sound beefier, maybe not as detailed. I see what you mea...
