Musical full-range in the $3-4K range used?
Komaki I have a pair of Tyler Acoustics Linbrook System 2's that have been upgraded with the 10" bass driver for sale. Check the listings for my ad. They are very easy to drive and sound wonderful. I have heard several speakers come through Ty's s... 
Best high end monitors?
Jp1208 I am not sure I agree with your statement about Ty's new line being more transparent. Ty seems to think it is a litte warmer. Maybe a tad but not much.

Tube amp recommendation
Look at Rogue, Cayin or Jolida 
Krell ksa-300s vs Pass Labs x-350
I have had the X150, X250 and a FPB200 in my system. I would pick the Krell over the Pass by a country mile. The post above said the Krell was grainy is a complete fool for saying that. I am not bias at all and giving an honest opinion. I thought ... 
YBA: Passion Integre vs. YA201
The YA-201 is also eye candy :)Not to threadjack but how does the YA-201 compare to the Integre DT? I am trying to narrow my choices down for a nice integrated.

What is your budget? 
Older PURE CLASS-A Amplifiers
I second the Classe DR-3B. A friend of mine had one for a short while and I told him to never sell it. It was one of THE best amps I have ever heard IMO. His speakers were relatively ineffiecient so he sold it. I couldn't swing owning it at the time.

Hi Wilson W/P8 owners, best amp ever to drive WP8?
I had the VK55 in my system for awhile mated with a VK5i and it sounded wonderful. I know it is not the 55SE and my preamp and source are not what was at the show but the 55 is one hell of an amp. Would love to have a 55SE or 75SE :)

Jolida JD100 Missing Bass
I tried the RCA black plates with good results. Much better than the stock tubes. Consider some GE triple mica black plates if you want to experiment. I found them to be more lush or organic. The RCA's were a tad drier but I could have lived with ... 
Adcom GFA5500 2ohm stable? & house wirinig
The GFA 5500 I used to have back in 99 ran very very hot. They are decent amps for the money but you can get much better for not alot more. Just my opinion. Yes 2 subs will take a big load off the amp for sure. That might be the best route to take. 
Slight humming noise coming from Mark Levinson 331
Might want to check the connectors and make sure they are tight (inside and out). A buddy of mine has a 334 and he was getting some hum on his rca's and it ended up being a loose connection. He also had a ML 38 preamp that hummed. He sold it with ...
