Need ideas to match a pair of monitor with 40WPC tube amp
I use and would suggest Omega Loudspeakers.  I currently have the Compact Alnico Monitors (w/ Croft Hybrid Integrated), as well as the Super 7 MK2 (w/ Prima Luna PL5 Amp) in play.  For your budget, there are the Super 3i @ $700https://omegaloudspe...

Omega 3xrs
Either go with the sub-woofer or go with a different Omega speaker.  I have both the Super 7MKII and the Compact Alnico and they go significantly lower.  The Super 3i's only went so low.    I have both the Rega Brio and a Prima Luna PL5/ Musical F...

I purchased by turntable and now would like some help with amp setup.
Is the Fisher solid state or tubes?  If tubes, repair if the cost is not crazy exorbitant.  If solid state, save your money ... those old Studio Standards from the 70s were not that great and by then, Fisher wasn't Fisher anymore.  If space is a m... 
New speakers for turntable ($500 range)
Upgrading the amp will pay dividends with the speakers.  The LP60 will be serviceable for now. The AT LP120 is an excellent starter TT. A steal @ $250. Significantly better than the LP60. I prefer it to the Pro-ject TTs at/ around the same pri... 
New speakers for turntable ($500 range)
On the plus side, you get it about sound quality and appreciation of what sounds good and what doesn't.It sounds like you have a limited budget for the time being ... so what to do first?So, what to do if there is only $600 to spend?I would stick ... 
New speakers for turntable ($500 range)
An almost 'impossible to answer' question given the way you worded it.If I understand it correctly, you wish to spend $500 on speakers for an amp that costs $90 and the most positive of reviews for the amp on Amazon are about how fast customer ser...

Primaluna evo 400 - unmatched tubes
The Primaluna has auto-bias.  It should not matter.  Go to the Upscale Audio site, it is in the FAQ section.if you have a PrimaLuna or Mystere amplifier with Adaptive Autobias, there is no need for matched tubes, though it certainly doesn't hurt.R... 
Spendor A1 vs Tannoy Autograph Mini's
Owned  and sold the Spendor A1 because they were not good in a low volume level setting.Much prefer the Omega speaker line for that, specifically the Super 7 MK II.https://omegaloudspeakers.com/collections/monitor-speakers/products/super-7-monitor... 
Very small room! Help me with monitor speakers
Hi -Similar situations over the years, I can tell you what speakers have worked for me.  Keep in mind, placement is key, especially for late night listening.  All below are outstanding with vocals. Totem Mites.  Owned these for a time.  The equiva... 
Another Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC with Ortofon 2M Red Question
My first question would be ... why would you be putting a $500 cartridge on a $400 turntable?The Pro-ject Debut has its limitations, specifically a noisy motor.    I am assuming that your Pro-ject came with the Ortofon Red.  I have never cared for... 
Vincent CD-S7 vs Magnat MCP-1050 vs Unison Research Unico CD player
