The best speaker you ever heard?
No doubt about it ... Avalon Isis 
Tenor OTL 75wi vs 175s
As Mike said .... the Tenor hybrid amps DO NOT have the magic of the OTL's. Find a speaker you like that your OTL can drive and enjoy. It really is a great amp! 
WILL THE NEW 60,000 AVALON ISIS BE THE BEST YET?
Happy to hear you're enjoying music so much with the Eidolon Diamonds Vyokyong. Love it!!!

Avalon Opus Ceramique
I do think it will be a noticeable improvement and a actual upgrade for you. It's kind of a mini-Eidolon. The imagining of Opus is really something when set up properly. Enjoy!

Another increase in resolution of detail around the 250 hour mark!!! I'm besides myself. 
BAT preamp: Rex to Rex-2 upgrade
7,500 - Note: an upgraded REX to REX-2 fully represents a brand new unit, both cosmetically and any (new) internal parts. Very pricey for me, but beats the pants of having to sell an old unit and buying a new one. The upgrade is substantial which ... 
BAT preamp: Rex to Rex-2 upgrade
Hello Jafant. Will do. I was told 450 hours before the REX-2 will show its true (full) sonic identity. In my experience I have found break-in to be a real phenomenon. So far the treble has been the area of most improvement. "Open up" is exactly ho...
