Yogiboy ,That is a good plan!  The best way to audition is at home ,in your system and listening room.You will like the Harbeth 30.1s. Whether you prefer them over the P3s will be up to your preference. Both are good speakers.Keep us updated on yo...

Review: Synthesis Art in Music BioNaif Collection Tube amp

Roly ,It sounds like your left channel fuse protection has blown.The fuse protector are located on each side of the amp between the far left and far right EL34 and the 6SN7 tubes. You will see there are "fuse out" indicators next to the fuse prote...
