Essential Zappa: what's missing from my collectio
I agree with Rooster: "Roxy and Elsewhere". 
Power output of tube amps compared to solid states
I'd be more interested in seeing at what volumes, ratios, and correlations are involved vis a vis the parameters in which the devices would be used in actual practice and what the rates of responses were and what they were compared to and against.... 
Power output of tube amps compared to solid states
Atmasphere, I would really like to read that GE report in complete form. 
What is your favorite guitar solo of all time?
Stevie Ray Vaugh playing Jimi Hendrix's: "Little Wing". 
high end speakers? ... not sure what brands/model
I hate horns. 
tubes and rock and roll, good fit?
R&R musicians are driving intrument amps and PA systems.

Mapman, Atmasphere, not everyone take offense to the same things. 
Power output of tube amps compared to solid states
I don't have the scientific background that many here obviously have, and perhaps I'm missing something but, I haven't seen anything here that would appear to qualify as evidence, never mind proof of the claims that tubes are more powerful than ss... 
Vandersteen 2C vs. Klipsch Cornwall
Apples and oranges, indeed. I'd choose the apples.

What to do next . . .?
I agree with Ddd1. 
Pre-amp that works good with Classe CA-400
If I recall correctly, and I could be mistaken about this, some of the Classe' amps are a bit on the sensitive side (1.6V?)for full output. If that is indeed the case, some pre's volume control might have limited use. Usually more of an issue with...
