First Hand Experience?
Well the silence is deafening. I guess that it speaks for itself. But I did ask for first hand experience. Maybe I should have phrased the question differently.Anyway, I'm wondering, considering the specs of this amp, what you all think? I don't s... 
What Sensitivity with Tube Components?

What Sensitivity with Tube Components?
Yup, that is the message I'm getting. Makes total sense and I'm glad I posted before I took the plunge into tube amplification. I've had these B&W speakers for about 1 year and I always intended to "upgrade" at some point. This discussion has ...
