Your Forever Pieces? What and Why?
KLH Nines. Bought in February 1992 from High Fi Classics in Far Rockaway, NY ($500). Still in use!  
Your Forever Pieces? What and Why?
Ariston RD11S TT. Bought new in 1977 without arm ($280). First arm: SME 3009. Next arms: JH Formula 4, Keith Monks, Lustre GST-1. Present arm is a Grace 707. Denon DL103. TT mat: Hiraoka Diskmat SE-22 (bought new in '77 - $20). Still a wonderful s... 
High efficiency is critical.
Altec Valencia's or Alec 19's! I have owned the first and listened to the 19's. 
Denon Power amplifier or Yamaha amplifier help please
In another post you claim to have Infinity Ref 60's. You could be a contestant on To Tell The Truth - ancient TV show! 
What separate tube phono stage do you use ?
I had a Precision Fidelity C7. Designed by Bruce Moore (Paragon, MFA, Audible Illusions). Six dual triodes and twin pots for volume/balance. Four-way source selector. No high level stage. Excellent SQ! 
High efficiency is critical.
You could get Khorns if you have a large enough room with two free corners. Or the Speakerlab version, to save money! Come to think of it, my Speakerlab 7's would probably work well with the Sanei 2A3 amp. They resemble a Heresy with an extra woof... 
High efficiency is critical.
Stick with the Heresy's. I bought a pair to use with my SET amps: Sanei 560A 2A3 and Will Vincent 45. Also my SE 6BG6 custom build. They have sufficient sensitivity to work well even with the SE 45 (1.75 watts). Yes, bass response drops off below ... 
Help with setting impediance level for Polk rti a7 speakers
So now you have Infinity Ref 60's! What happened to the Polk's? I doubt you have either! 
Yamaha professional powers ,pc2002m....?.??
On 11 - 13 - 18 you posted that you bought off EBAY a Denon POA2800 amp for $560AU. Why then ask about a Yamaha pro amp? Are you just "fishing" and making all this up just for attention? 
Yamaha professional powers ,pc2002m....?.??
First you said you had Polk RTi A7's. Now it is Infinity Ref 60's! Methinks you are just "fishing" and have neither! 
Preamp and receiver together with power amplifier ?.? Help
There is NO amp in the world that will make your Polk's sound like Wilson's! Not in this Universe! 
Preamp and receiver together with power amplifier ?.? Help
When you heard the POA2800 demoed it was with a different pair of speakers - not the Polks, I am sure! So you take it home and it sounds different with the Polks. Well, what did you expect? Speakers are THE one thing that makes the most difference... 
Preamp and receiver together with power amplifier ?.? Help
I suggested that you get the Denon PRA 1000 preamp for a good match with the POA2800 amp. I found one listed on EBAY for $375 + shipping ($45). Original owner. Since you are in Australia shipping will be considerably more! Maybe you can find one l... 
Denon Power amplifier or Yamaha amplifier help please
You posted on 11 -13 - 18 that you bought the Denon POA2800 for $560AU. Why then ask about buying the Yamaha amp? Stick with the Denon - if you really did buy it! 
Sound-Smith Zephyr Star
Don't do it! Keep the Hana SL! It is a truly excellent mc cartridge! Buying the Zephyr would be a sideways move at best! Save your money for a more significant upgrade!
