Amp Recommendations for AZ Crescendo
Great speaker but they do require the right tube amp to sound their best; IMHO your Modwright will not be the best choice.I too was at SOS last week, wonderful set-up, you should definetly contact them, you can not go wrong with their suggestions. 
Acoustic Zen Crescendo

shindo vs. atma-sphere

PAD Aqueous 20th Anniv. vs Cardas Golden Ref. IC's

So after a weels time only one person has come forward with no issues with the new PP+ units. Oh well guess it's time to look elsewhere. Hope PP gets their act together. 
Purepower 2000+ and 3000+ actual availability???
I wish I could believe PP also but too many have posted bad customer support and follow thru.

Purepower 2000+ and 3000+ actual availability???
Wow so all these guys whom reported these hum issues don't know what they are talking about? I find that hard to beleive since a number of them seem well versed in this hobby. Also have seen not one person respond positively to owning a newer plus... 
Stealth Dream V10 Power Cords
So how does the V10 speaker cable compare to what you have used the in the past?
