| Adding tubes to SS system-Tube Preamp Amp or Int? What Tgrisham said.If you have speakers that would do well with tubes, I would recommend a tube amplifier. IMO, this is where more of the 'tube sound' comes from, but by no means is it that cut and dry.If your speakers are designed for SS then I w... | |
| Magnepan owners : past / present I owned MG12s and 1.6s for about 6 years. Fantastic speakers. I now own single drivers driven by SET, gives me a lot of the same things I got from Maggies. I like them at least as well as I liked the Maggies, at least in part because of my small 1... | |
