@djones51Unfortunatly all of the speaker brands you suggest doesn't have any speaker that is sensitive enought. Mostly they are worse than my Tannoys. The exeption is JBL but they seems to have problems with their quality.

@chayroNot the answer I hoped for :(I usually listen to low volumes and if I want to play louder I have a Moonriver 404 that really takes a grip on the Tannoys.But I have just become a sucker for SET tubes amps and have just bought the Audion Audi... 
Thinking about getting a R2R DAC
I bought a LAB 12 DAC1 SE a few years ago and I'm very pleased with it. And you also have the option to tune it a little by replaceing the 6922 tube. If the limitation to 24bit/96kHz is not a problem you could give it a try.I also lack that "somet... 
Speaker cabels for dark sounding speakers?
Problem solved.Moving the carpet a little gave me a little more parquet floor and I got more reverberation. It actually feels even better now than before I replaced the armchair with the sofa. The bass has been improved and sounds cleaner and it i...

Speaker cabels for dark sounding speakers?
OK. I'll see if I can get some cables with silver and do some listening tests. But I changed back to the sofa to really understand what is different. The reverberation has clearly changed. So I think I'll try to move the carpet a little so the pa...

@tvad Actually the sofa is the "big brother" to the easy chair. Just an extra seat to my right, so to speak.Interesting? 
Speaker cabels for dark sounding speakers?

@wsrrswWith Raven Audio and Rodgers High Fidelity it's the same as many other US brands, you don't find them in Sweden. McIntosh...I don't think they are the best bang for the buck, or...? Yes, tubes is the way to go. I tried once and now I'm hook... 
Pre amp and Power amp advice needed
@ avanti1960Wonder why they just used a box to put the Stereo 100 in. In my eyes this is one of the most boring looking amps I have ever seen.Is it better in every way over the Atlas Magum II? Read something about there was an upgrade for the Cron...
