B&W 800D3 paired with McIntosh MC1.25k
@ronaldpooran, happy to help.   
Wilson Sabrina (not X), Sonus Faber Nova 2, or Vandersteen Treo CT
Vandersteen Treo CT would be my choice because I had owned Vandersteen for many years, love thei house sound and not a fan of SF or Wilson.  I also owned a MC152 for 2 years before moving up to a MC302 and found the 152 to be extremely musical wit...

On the Audio Aficionardo web site , quite a few of the regulars have traded up to the new 1.25KW amps and have been gushing over them. You may want to read the entire thread.   
Decisive moments your your audio journey
My ah ha moment was in 1978 when I heard my friends original Snell Type A speakers driven by Accuphase electronics.  Unbelievable!  
Your single most significant purchase mistake?
I had a N100H back in 2016. I hated it. Their conductor software was always a work in progress. Every time I powered it up, I had to hold my breath because I never knew what would happen. It always had trouble finding my router, even though the N1...

6H30 replacement
You bought a 6H30 based amp, doubtful you can substitute as the high voltage WILL destroy the tubes.  Why not check with Pathos and see what they say?  I would start there.  
Vienna Acoustics speakers help
Are the jumpers on speaker terminals installed?  If it is a bi wire speaker, that would account for it.  
T+A Made in Germany
I was the OP and asked Tammy to remove it.  It seemed like it was going south, fast.  I didn’t want another p*****g match.  I shouldn’t have posted it as I finished the review and realized that it is the only T&A made in China due to being an ...
