Looking To Match A Tube Amp With A Pair Of Audio Note AN-K/Spe
Considering a Decware Tori II MkV for my K's. Atmasphere's comments were influencing on this thread. Have certainly decided that a 20-40W pentode design is a good path. Keeping in mind the K's are in a 12x26 room go with KT 66, 77, or 6L6 for an "...

Like Doc I was at the Beacon in NYC. First time I ever saw a band fronted by three drum kits. Fripp has always been the driving force and a tremendous talent. If you wish to explore further in the catalogue I would recommend Larks' Tongues In Aspi... 
CD transports; do they really matter
I'd rather stand before my stacks as if in a library to decide what I'm going to listen to next than screw around with an I-pad.

Food for thought and thanks for the response Atmasphere. Vu's tube preferences for the K's were 300B's and 6L6's. That conversation and your comments bring something like the Canary M-90 to mind. Anyone had experience with that one? -Scott

I just got off the phone with Vu. Whoever recommended that thank you. A most informative conversation. Keep in mind this thread started with me looking for better punch in the midrange. What I failed to mention was that I've been running this rig ...

If you had to choose between a push-pull EL 84 at say 20W or an SET 2A3 say at 8W to push the K's what would you prefer?

Thanks Larry, I'm also intrigued the Level 4 EL 84 kit that's available. Seem's that might be a good match for the K's in a 30x12 room. I listen primarily 8-10 feet away with proper toe in.  -Scott
