Short list of musical subwoofers
I'm running my 15 year old SVS PB12's with two SB-1000 Pro's.  3 subs fill a large room and compliment Klipsch Belle's wonderfully.  I wish the phone app worked with the PB12's.  Tuning from the listening position is a very nice feature. However,... 
Reasonably sensitive speakers for tube amps, max $2k/pair, new or used
Forgot to mention that the Heresy's are listened to on Target stands, not floor risers.

+1 for Zu Dirty Weekends - I run them with a 15 wpc Cary 300B SET integrated.  The DWs were $1K with the base finish when I bought them 15 months ago.  I team them with a pair of SVS SB1000 Pro subs which were less than $1K.  This is a nice $2K co... 
Dream Speakers = landed. Now I need to feed them!
I can’t make suggestions on a source/DAC but can relate my story with the Belles and make a few observations on amplification that may be helpful. From my experience (and with my taste in music) the Belle’s need a boost at the bottom end which wa...

Late Night Jazz
Jazz at the Pawn Shop 
Why is there no love for Prima Luna?
Dialogue Premium Preamp and First Watt SIT-3 feeding upgraded Klipsch Belle's with SVS sub. Super musical...detailed, airy...to me at least and solid reliability so far (3 years with PL).  Sounds and feels like you're sitting in the jazz club. 
Anyone remember the lateral tracking Bang and Olufsen record player from the 80’s??
I still have my Beogram TX linear tracking TT purchased in 1984 with MMC2 cartridge.  Never had any mechanical issues with it during the 20 years of heavy use.  I put it away in the early 2000s to focus on digital.  When I pulled it out of storage... 
Suggestions on Integrated Amp./Seperates to Run my Klipschorns
As many have said you only need a few watts to bring the Khorns to life.  I have Klipsch Belles which I purchased 36 years ago because I didn't have suitable corners.  The Belles are in the same family with the Khorns and Lascalas.  Initially I ra... 
Tube Preamp with Solid State Amp?
Preamps are Primaluna Dialogue and Mac C33.  Amps are First Watt SIT-3 and Cary SLA70 (EL34s).   Speakers are Klipsch Belle with new Bob Crites crossovers/tweeters and Zu Omen Dirty Weekends.  The ss-tube, tube-ss, tube-tube and ss-ss combinations...
