tube amps and electrostatics
Sound lab speakers have chosen Wolcott amps to drive their speakers. these amps can handle the most difficult load 
Tubes Top End, SS bottom?
To reinforce our likeness for Wolcott Amps read the current issue of TAS. These amps are being used for bi-amping the low end of a $100,000 reference system. 
Montana EPS or Dunlavy 4A's?
Both are great speakers but I thought the 4A's had a tighter bass and less Fatigueing . I bought the Dunlavy V's which have the deepest tightest bass I have Ever heard. Also you may want to check out VMPS speakers and the Osborne Epitome's. 
Bel Canto EVo 200.2 Digital Amp Owner's
Did I read you correctly in that you have your amp plugged into the P300. You will probably do better with the amp plugged directly in the wall. The ps 300 is not meant for amps 
Tubes Top End, SS bottom?
I have tried this combination with Threshold 200 and Cary tube amps. Both were respectful amps and had decent sound. I auditioned a pair of Wolcott amps and had the greatest sound to date in my system. They are tube amps with a 0 output impedance....

tube amp advice foe Dunlavy scIII'S
Try the Wolcott Presence monos. I believe they're one of the best amps. They match well with my Dunlavy V's. 
DVD player with excellent CD quality
Muse model 8 Muse 296 DAC plays cd's better than any cd player I've heard to date except for the Linn 12. The dcs Elgar is tops also. 
The best CD player with volume control
To JRT Is the Museatex in anyway related to Muse electronics 
Linn owners!
Iagree with r32446 on the Transparent cables. They were too laid back with Linn equipment. Try JPS superconducter II They are a bit stiff but they sound great and priced reasonably 
Bel Canto DAC-1
Innhitman have you had this problem with the Bel Canto. I am referring to the loud pop when skipping from track to track at higher volumes. 
Bel Canto DAC-1
Garfish, I have a Muse model 8 transport and the Bel Canto. The people from Muse said this problem can't be alleviated because of it's make. The Muse 296 won't cause this problem according Muse. It's probably best to contact Ken at Muse to give yo... 
Linn questions for novice.
Your right Eldragon buy the best possible sound that you can afford. My tastes no longer include Linn. I have a large room also and like to listen to higher volumes at times and the Linn didn't cut it. Is your hobby buying ALL Linn equipment? 
Bel Canto DAC-1
I got the Bel Canto Dac and was floored at how great it sounded. It blew my Linn Karik and Numerik away. A major problem with this DAC is when I skip songs at a higher volume I get a loud pop before each song. This has shut my amps down several ti...
