Best indoor FM antenna, your experience.
Magnum Dynalab makes a one piece whip antenna that can be used indoors or outdoors.  I use one in each of my systems and they work very well.  I think they go around 130-150.00.

Bass distortion-Playing LP's only,,,,please help
I am willing to bet you are getting some feedback. Can you remove the grill and observe if the woofer is oscillating abnormally? If it is, its a feedback problem. I had this problem with my Scout and now my Prime. My turntable is on top of a rack ... 
Just Ordered New Speakers
I received email from Sandy at GE tonight stating my speakers are being shipped to the dealer tomorrow.  I am hoping to get them by this weekend, keeping fingers crossed.

There is nothing wrong with the speakers, I already put the speakers in my main system and they sound fine.   
Another Vandersteen model 2 question
@mr_m I am sure the new signature II sound much better than the 2ci speakers, but I had the original 2ce signatures, a totally different animal.  The metal dome tweeter was very offensive to my ears.  Also, I found the Vandersteen sound a little t...

@213runninHow would you know unless you heard my system, and I do not ever remember inviting you over for a listen? I have been in the high end hobby for over 45 years, I think I can correctly assess my system better than someone who perhaps heard... 
Intigrated Amp Dilemma
Don't want to do that.  I have separates in my main system.  I want this system to use an integrated.  I am currently looking at a Cary  SI-300.2D 300wpc  integrated amp. 
Another Vandersteen model 2 question
At one time, I had both the 2ci and the 2ce signature.  I liked the 2ci better and kept them.

@zimmerma Are you the spell check police? 
Intigrated Amp Dilemma
There is a Cary amp I may look into.  Its a SI-300.2D class A/B integrated with enough inputs, power 300wpc, and an AK built in dac.  It's 6K retail.

@dill Would truly love that amp but its double what I can spend.   I already spent 8K on the Triton References so my funds are limited.

@tomstruck My last integrated amp I used upstairs was a Rogue Cronus Magnum 100wpc amp with the KT120 tubes. The solid state is fine, it’s just when it is really pushed. Don’t forget, the Triton 2 have powered woofers so I am only driving 2 midran...

I have already gone through all of that, it is the amp.  I want something better, any suggestions? 
T+A Amps and Preamps?
I'm interested as well but I am looking at their integrated amps.    The lower end units are all class D where the mid and high range lines use class a/b.  Definitely NOT interested in the Class D stuff.
