Room Correction Hardware options ?
Mr N- Since you are not interested in bi-amping, you don't need the 2.2. The 2.0 or 2.0S (http://www.tactlab.com/Products/RCS20/index.html)are what you should be looking at and they can be equipped with analog ins and outs also. These TacTs have a... 
The partner or wife factor
The Italian Audiophiles had the solution to the problem for years. Then they legalized divorce in that country and the murder rate went down dramatically. Or were those the Roman Catholics?

And many people prefer the "warm", colored, euphonic, "tubey" presentation of Mullard and Brimar tubes over the transparent, uncolored presentation of Telefunken, and Siemens tubes(etc). Yadda, yadda, yadda! Tastes vary, but the laws of conductivi... 
Room Correction Hardware options ?
Mr N- I missed your question concerning interfacing a TacT with an integrated amp. The tact units(either 2.2 or 2.0) are pre-amps/control units/room correction devices and you'd need no other device between your analog line level source(phono pre,... 
I need some speaker help
Mr S- I've been in the sound reinforcement business for almost 30 years and never has seen a speaker system or horn design that varies it's tweeter's response with relation to it's SPL. What company or companies build such a system or crossover? I...

Mr N- The "stock" unit comes any way you order it. Are you planning on bi-amping your system? If not- the 2.2 is not what you want(it's designed two drive two woofer channels, as well as the main channels). Whether the 2.2 or 2.0: They can be conf...

Since you didn't mention a desire to bi-amp, here's a page that offers info on the TacT RCS 2.0(download the free review): (http://www.avguide.com/products/product-477/) If you have no nulls that you'd like to bring up to level(highly unlikely): I...

No doubt about it: The TacT 2.2XP! The Rives is an excellent PASSIVE unit, that will bring down peaks, but can do nothing about nulls. The TacT allows one to place the actives woofer of one's bi-amped system in the corners of the room where they c... 
I need some speaker help
Addendum: Yes- The alternative is a much more efficient speaker system. But at 92db/1w/1m the DT 7002's are already fairly high efficiency. How big is your listening room? With 200wpc and 92db efficiency you should able to generate some fairly hig... 
I need some speaker help
I agree with the first two posters. From the damage you are sustaining, it sounds like you are clipping your amp and need more (clean) power. Amplifier clipping will take out tweeters(and/or x-over caps) regardless of the brand/quality of the spea... 
popping sound with new 6922 tube
I agree with the above statements, but would add one note: If you do buy a tube tester- get one that checks the tube at full operational voltage. Some anomalies(IE: anode to grid breakdown voltage) won't show themselves at reduced voltage levels a... 
Does a Postal Money order need to "clear"?
The last two banks I dealt with charged ME $30.00 each time MY TENANT wrote a bad check TO ME. If an individual purchasing an item chooses to not use Paypal or Western Union(as one of my European buyers did), he can wait the few days that it takes... 
bi amping question
Mr F- That's why I asked what sound appeals to you more: There are some NOS 6SN7/VT-231's that offer a very lucid/dynamic(transparent/accurate) presentaton, and then some that are somewhat warmer and relaxed(euphonic). It could save you some $$ to... 
Comparing Integrateds by Primaluna and Cary
Mr K- You got me on that one. I got my wires crossed between the AE offerings and PrimaLuna. And I've been a Cary user for over 6 years now too. Shame on me!!
