| Sound quality vs. volume Wondering if with low volume the room is not causing so much trouble, but with higher volume the room becomes more apparent. Is your room treated? This is mandatory, especially with your style of speakers. | |

| looking for a tube preamps that doesn't sound like SS With my Mapletree Audio preamp, and I suspect other similar models out there, the sound can be achieved with proper tube selection. So many different flavors of 6SN7 tubes (lush, clean, clear, powerful, precise, hazy, etc.) from which to choose. C... | |

| New in 2019 Hey, thanks maxnewid! Saw the CBKs a couple of times last year in Cleveland - terrific band! I'll definitely check out HTTK. | |

I am running a pair of Audio Mirror 45 Watt SET monoblocs - plenty of power for the Fontaines. Don't know if they'd be enough for the Andras though. I recall reading in th... | |

| Eggleston Works speakers: Expensive, but are they worth the money?? I have a pair of their Fontaines, original version, and they are excellent. Sub(s) required for this model for music other than acoustic IMO, so I augment the low end with a pair of ACI Titan subs (powered, 12" driver, sealed). Exquisite sound, wi... | |
| Highest BUILD quality tube amps? My Audio Mirror 45 Watt SETs have been working flawlessly for years. And with auto-bias, the power tubes last a very long time. Glorious sound to boot. | |
| 2 channel setup IMO, I would not even consider thinking too much about cabling yet. Just get decent copper cables all throughout to start with. The most important thing to consider at your stage is deciding which speakers you like, then getting a proper/capable a... |
