Low Cost DACs
I was thinking about the "Dragon Fly" line. Only a 1/8 out kind of turns me off.

Thanks for the input.I am currently streaming via an OPPO BDP Blu-ray/Streamer.I have a Pandora account and unfortunately with the OPPO you can not save or play specific albums or individual songs, only can save different genre "stations." To save... 
Wharfedale Linton Heritage 85th Anniversary
Interesting article. The PrimaLunas get such rave reviews but I'm beginning to question theire overall reproduction of music. I had a pair of Tekton Design Lores and they did better than the Lintons (tight bass) but still not what I was looking fo... 
Wharfedale Linton Heritage 85th Anniversary
So I have a pair about 30-35 hours on them. Paired with PrimaLuna Integrate with KT150s/KT88s/EL34s & NOS Brimar/NOS RCA ClearTops 12AU7s. These speakers sound terrible! All BOOM and VERY forward mids. No highs to speak of. Added plugs to rear... 
Kef R3s with Tube Amp?
Actually I was wrong about the floor. In this part of the house it's hard wood over Tongue & Groove. But you got me thinking and I think I'll try a home made idea to isolate them. See how that works! 
Kef R3s with Tube Amp?
Cool. I'll look into it. Sounds like a simple & inexpensive tweak! 
Kef R3s with Tube Amp?
If your floors are suspended plywood, isolating the floorstanders from those better would probably help tighten up bass and clean up the sound. Tekton speakers are currently on carpet, floors are hardwood over plywood. Yes, will audition prior to... 
Kef R3s with Tube Amp?
Thanks Joe. Good idea contacting Kef. Yes, I went with the Lores because of the high efficiency rating. Been messing around with different tubes (now KT150s, different pre-amp) and just not "getting it." But they were better with the Cronus, thus ... 
Kef R3s with Tube Amp?
Hi Joe. Thanks for the reply. I did have 1 conversation yesterday via email from this post but other than that, you're the first! My listening room is 15 x 25 x 7.5, and I had a Cronus Magnum II before the PrimaLuna. I loved it too, unfortunately... 
Kef R3s with Tube Amp?
Wow! 63 people looked at this posting but no one has an opinion? Not even the "know it alls" who like to pretend they are smarter than you. Strange. I didn't think it was a dumb question! 
Kef R3s with Tube Amp?
I was asked which model PrimaLuna Integrate.PrimaLuna Prologue. With KT150 about 48 Watts per channel. 
Tekton Design Lore - Cronus Magnum II
Thanks snapsc.Yes. 100db would be way too loud for me as well. I'm not interested in rattling the windows.I am intrigued by low wattage amps, 300 B, etc. I do not know or have I seen any comments from anyone who has driven these exact speakers wit...

You can certainly run the Romex from receptacle thru wall and under floor along joists and leave it for the electrician to wire. Yea that was my thought. It’s been a long time since I did anything like that. 
Tekton Design Lore - Cronus Magnum II
Thanks. Great info.A dedicated line makes perfect sense albeit an expense the other 1/2 might slightly object to. (she's not quite as enthused about my hobby as I) Not a big deal to do this myself but I can hear it now about burning down the house...

Thanks "Avanti!" Good info.
