The comparsion should not be done with and without the sub. You can still run the sub. By all means you should if you like it. All I am saying is get the signal to the sub via speaker level. Cheap speaker wire is all you need. 1 pair going to the ...

Mullard EL34 as a choice for your amp.
Are you talking NOS or reissues? 
HELP
While I am thinking of it; Do the speakers have 100 hours on them yet? If they don't- this could be your problem. Also- speaker placement would be another thread I would start seperately. At the very least- put some bass intensive music on and wal... 
Studio/Performance Amps for High-End Systems?
I think it tends to be presentation. Every pro amp I have ever had in my systems has been forward and dynamic, but ultimately fatiguing.With this said, in the right system pro amps do offer a heck of a lot of value.
