To those running Klipsch Forte IIIs...

Audion Silver Night 300b 20th Anniversary
Thank you for the reply.  Which version did you own? 
Closest to pass labs int 250 or x250.8
Nothing compares to a Pass, nothing.  I would suggest being patient and saving some money until you can afford a Pass.  You will always be left wondering...  Additionally, resale will be much better if you ever decide to move on.  Best of luck. 
Anybody upgrade their Zu Omen DWs to Souls?

4 ohm (or 6) Bookshelf speakers. Pass Labs 30.8

Modding the Zu Omen MKII
@bache +1!

@audiewww Fantastic.  Glad to hear you like them.  I will re-read this review.  My DWs will ship this week and I can't wait to hear them.  Thank you for sharing and I'd love to hear any other observations as they continue to break in. 
Suggestions for low powered tube amps for Zu Omens
I am in the same boat.  My DWs are being shipped and I have been scouring message boards to find a suitable amplifier.  I really wanted to try a SET amp.  Sean suggested an Audion amplifier that was far more than I wanted to spend.  I have narrowe... 
Best place to sell an amp.
@viridian I second CL.  Nothing beats having someone see and hear what you are selling.  No disappointments, no trickery, cash into your hand. 
Pass Labs int 250
This would be a fantastic match for your speakers.

Oh, and would you say that the input tubes would be the first to replace?  Thank you! 
Harbeth Super HL 5 Plus room size?
I had them in a smaller room for years with no issues whatsoever.  They are made to be used in small rooms.  Go for it!

@audiewww I'm sorry to be such a pest, but do you have an update?!

@markwatkiss you are successfully using KT77s?  The manual states not to use different tubes.  Where did you purchase your Tungsols?
