What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'?
@dman777 , you're 100% correct.  AS3200 is very tube sounding. And a amp I'll be enjoying for a while.  When you listen to the Luxman 590II vs AS3200 they are completely different.  Luxman has the detail, refiness and precision that a class A is k... 
What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'?
When a amp is not harsh and bright, tonally balanced and your sound is smooth with treble and bass. Some amps can have a strong bass oitput and become very punchy. For me the some Yamaha amps are very musical, while others can be bright.  My Luxma... 
anybody running dual NAD C298's?
@goodlistening64, curious why you need to bridge to 500watts?  ML Motion 40 are not hard to drive unless you're having a back yard BBQ club party and need 1000watts.  Are you looking to push the amp to max wattage?  
anybody running dual NAD C298's?
@goodlistening64, brotha.  you don't need to tell me.  i own NAD2200/1155, and a big fan of their stuff.  I've been told my gear is mid-fi, i call myself the king of low-fi gear. in Agon.  
"The Ultra High-End Speaker."
Its what your ears and wallet like.  A $1k systen can bring you musical bliss like $100k system. My Yamaha MX1000 with B&W 803N only cost $3k and sounds wonderful.  Price will always be subjective in this hobby.    
Need some advice on replacing a B&W tweeter
Youtube has shown how easy it is to replace them.  I could not tell the difference on my N805 when listening. My kids pushed in one of them years.  It was a cosmetic thing for me to change it 5 years later. Good kuck

Have you found your "End-Game" speakers yet? I have. And it feels so good!!!
End game does not exist in Agon.  
anybody running dual NAD C298's?
NAD not a popular brand on Agon.  
Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound?
300k and 800k got me. Nothing a $5-10k speaker couldnt do for vs something costing that much more. Tower speakers > Bookshelf any day  
Speakers 10 years old or older that can compete with todays best,
I think its not just speakers, its the amplifier and source too.  New equipment has the techology along with electronics/caps to play the new music so the synergy with the sound more fast pace imo.  Like my pair of Elacs with ribbon tweeters.  My ... 
DAC DIRECT IN TO AMPLIFIER OR TO PREAMPLIFIER
I'm a fan of less is better, for less distortion, plug a DAC directly to the amp.  No need for anything else.  Get and integrated and your set.  Many people feel.a pre amp is needed, but I feel for its purity, I'll let the amp do the talking. Some... 
Accuphase E380 or E4000 integrated amp important from Japan
I prefer Luxman over Accuphase.  Luxman build quality is 2nd to none.  
Anybody using tube amps to drive Thiel CS 3.7's ?
Tube amps are not best pairing.  The 3.7 dip to 3 and 4 ohms,  I've heard the 2.4 with Primaluna100 tubes and did not sound as good compare with a ML331.  3.7 is awesome speaker and would sound good with any amp, you just want to feed it the watta...
