Rel Subwoofers
I talked to someonw from Sumiko awhile ago. The gentlemen explained the sub works better without the spikes.

Thanks Sam from rainy Northern CA. 
Is This The Time To Buy A New TV?...
I bought a 32" Sharp from Costco for 449.00. No HDTV...but, looks good enough for me. The other stuff has too many flaws for the $$$. Seen a Panasonic 32" elsewhere for $499.00.Happy Holidays. 
Has anyone heard the 6N1P preamp tube?
Mike Elloit from Counterpoint noted the 6N1P is not compatable with the SA 1000. So I got the Electro Harmonix 6922. Boy, it does sound better than the Solvek. The bass is now much more there. The mids have lost that card-board felling and the hig...

Most forgiving speakers?
Hi, The 50 used an Audax woofer and tweeter that did not like too much power. As a result, the 60 had a vifa tweeter and a woofer that can take much more power. Also, if you x over with a sub, the 60 would do just fine...unless you really like it ... 
Most forgiving speakers?
Spica TC 60 (you can get them for around 400.00) a good sub (@600 used)...so for a grand...you got a forgiving top end and deep bass for your rock. You also get WIDE soundstage and good imaging. 
Have A Great Summer Everyone
Hi, I have lived all over California...and think it is a great place. Temechula is great. You can be in San Diego, OC, LA, the mountains, the dessert, the ocean....all in an hour or two. Good luck with everything. 
Dynaudio 52 vs. 52SE?
I thought the 52SE was better than the 52. It was more refined. Both were driven by a Rotel receiver with a Rotel CD player. It was the mid and highs that were most distiguishable. Rich 
Good speaker match 4 Rotel/Rega gear &small room?
Hi, I heard the 604 mk3 in a showroom, that was larger than your room. It had rotel gear running it. It imaged very well, however, it sounded a bit foward, diffenetly not warm sounding. I have not heard a recent B&W that was warm, I think they... 
JMR Twins vs. SF Concertinos vs. Spendor 3/5
Hi, I listened to the Spendor 3/5 and the SF Concertinos in different stores, but in pretty similar rooms and both set up pretty well. I end up buying the Spendors. The Spendors were a little smoother. Both imaged well, but the Spendors seemed mor... 
I would like advice for a beginner.
Save yourself from losing all of your money and spending all of your time in the pursuit of sonic perfection. My road to my current padded room started with a simple pioneer receiver, magnovox CD player and some no name eight inch two ways...now I...

repairability of amps from the late 80's and 90's
Thanks everyone who has brought some clarity to me regarding this issue. It is good there are still resources out there to take care some of these amps. With the Counterpoints, it sounds like it may lead to an expensive path.
