2 channels Tube amp in a HT setup
Same as Eddiesudz but with Lexicon MC12B/ARC Ref3/Ref210s. Most of my tube hours are burned for vinyl but I don't mind using it for movies and a little TV. Works great. BTW for video I don't worry about warm up, 15 min and good to go.Terry

Vandersteen Model 7s?
So the 5A are 80% the size of the 7s? Any Idea how much the 7 would weigh? 
ARC VT-200 Cooling Fan Noisy, nit picking?
Elberoth2 posted info on how he put in XThermal (or is it Thermal?) BTF80Pro fans in a Ref 110 and liked the result. I did some searches on XThermal and found some references to the fans. They do not appear to be distriputed in the US. Anyone know...
