Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time"
"Breakthrough design?" Oh, really ... Please describe in detail. 
Pass labs xa25 amp and BW 804 d3?
I had B&W Nautilus 804s for years, and have heard most of the B&W lineup over time. I can tell you, without reservation, that B&Ws are power hungry and, IMHO, need at least 150 wpc to even begin showing what they can do. Personally, I ... 
HELP ... Need Advice/Recommendations on Tube Amp
@batman1971 ... how did you like the Carver? 
Speaker Cables and Carpet
Use small to medium size white ceramic ramekins ...$1.99 each at BB&B. Same concept and effect as the cable elevators, but at a fraction of the cost. 
HELP ... Need Advice/Recommendations on Tube Amp
@aberyclark ... agreed. I really like to see tubes glow, especially big power tubes. Plus, in order to manually bias the tubes on the Rogue, you have to remove the cover held on by ten screws.

@dweller ... but in that case, someone simply could insert spam WITHIN an existing thread. That's likely worse than an initial spam thread. I like your initial suggestion ... anyone with less than one week's seniority on the forum must have ANY AN...

Favorite band or artist of all time?
Beatles, Zep and Dead. Some days, it's easier to choose than on others. 
Jimmy Page, It's time to call your lawyers?
I kinda like these kids, but here’s the deal: Zep ripped off others and made a whole new and fresh sound out of it. GVF rips off Zep and sounds just like ... well, Zep. GVF provides us with nothing "new" in their blatant homage, whereas Zep did. T... 
Totem Forest Signature v. Joseph Audio Profile
Note that Jeff uses Cardas for the internal speaker wiring of all JA's. Hence, the reason he utilizes Cardas as external cabling at shows. 
Has anyone added a small subwoofer to 2 channel and been thrilled with the result?
I've got a JL e110 matched with my JA Pulsars. Sonic Nirvana in my small room of 10x11x8. I like the fact that the e110 lets me use the internal crossover ... really lends to holographic imaging from the speakers since they don't have to carry the... 
Totem Forest Signature v. Joseph Audio Profile
I actually own JA Pulsars and have heard the Profile as well.  Both have a similar house sound. Really, it's that infinite slope x-over that makes for the holographic imaging. I find, generally, that a 2 way speaker with a good subwoofer simply di... 
Bowers & Wilkins N804; adjustment knob on back?
I had a pair of N804s for 16 years before I traded them in. There is an adjustment screw on the back which holds the midrange driver in place. B&W does not recommend messing with it as the tension is set at the factory. However, if you must ad... 
Speaker Recommendation: 20K range
Recommendations are merely subjective opinions, and likely have no material relevance to your situation. Given your price range and your location, you have the opportunity to audition many speakers and, maybe even get a home trial in your room wit...
