fritz loudspeakers
That response from Krellm7 has to be one of the most arrogant, condescending posts I have ever read. Sheesh. 
Small bookshelfs that reach 42 hz
The 805's (like most stand mounts) won't be flat to 42hz. There is only so much you can get from a 6" driver.One suggestion that will get you pretty close: Ellis 1801b.But because Dave Ellis' waiting list is pretty long; you might call Jim Salk an... 
high gain or low gain tube preamps ?
You have raised an interesting question on a complex topic that probably has no correct answer.IMHO, most systems have too much gain. Many of today's amplifiers have close to 30 db of gain; so adding another 20 db in the pre-amp is too much. Even ... 
best sub $1000 amp to mate with tube preamp
I agree with Ferrari. Look for a used Musical Design amplifier, if you can find one. 
Opportunity to buy the best Preamp... but which?
If it were me, I'd buy a Wyetech Labs Pearl and be done with it. 
TSM-MM not loud enough ...
I have no idea how 'loud' you like your music, but I don't use half my 75 watts to fill my room and it's bigger than that...and I don't use a sub with mine.Give Bobby a call. Maybe you have a gain issue..WEEZ 
True bookshelf speaker
If I were you, I would consider a sealed (acoustic suspension) speaker for a bookshelf. Rear ports won't sound right without 'space' behind them; and front ports have their own issues.Have a look at www.nsmaudio.comWEEZ 
SS amp mosfet 'haze' - ever experienced this?
Interesting read...missed it first time around.A mosfet operates more like a valve (tube) so it is no wonder that many have claimed they sound more 'tube like' than bipolar's. And they do- most of the time.The 'haze' or 'mist' isn't a characterist... 
Musical Concepts Modifications
John is building a brand new D-75B Signature for me as we speak. Can't wait.. 
merlin tsm`s on target stands?
I use 26" Skylan 2-post stands with my TSM's. They are fine both sonically and visually.Highly recommended. 
Speakers Before Merlin TSM-MM
Proac Studio 100. The Merlins are light years ahead of most stand mounts. None that I have heard come close. 
preamps with tone controls.
Audio by Van Alstine offers two that look identical. The Omegastar EC; and the Ultra EC.The new versions mentioned above are not on the website yet but you can read about them on the AVA forum @ Audiocircle. 
Tyler Reference's vs. Ellis 1801's
Dave Ellis can provide different resistors in the crossover to alter the high frequency response by 1db or 2db- check his website...WEEZ 
Does this preamp exist?
You might be interested to know that AVA has a new Trnscendence 8 SLR available but it's not on the website yet- you would need to call Frank.(4)inputs; (2)tape loops; (2)main outputs. Optional phono stage; optional remote; optional tape output bu...
