Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses?
Okay, My results are in after installing the PADIS fuse.  I am also playing with different sets of vintage Russian Tubes.  So I currently have Gold Lion KT 88 Russian tubes in my Raven Amp.  First, in answer to Geoff's comment about my statement t... 
"Best" mini-monitor?
They are not mini monitors but I have a pair of Wilson Audio Duette 2's for sale on Audiogon that would make that room sing.  I had them powered to a Raven Tube Amp.   
Member's recommendations for tube amplification
Let me give a recommendation for Raven Audio Tube Amps.  Dave Thomson is the owner and live in Texas.  He is also a Legacy dealer.  He has a pair of DI's that he hooked up to his amps.  I have the Raven Audio Reflection MK2 Integrated amp at 58wpc... 
Upgrade path from Wilson WattPuppy 7s? - seeking advice
What started out as a nice thread turned into a disaster.  Good Luck to the Op in his speaker hunt.  If you can't decide I still have my Wilson Audio Duette 2's for sale.   
2017 ‘Keeper’ speakers under - $25K
Blindjim....from your thread you mentioned a good deal on Wilson's might be of interest.  I just purchased some Sonus Faber Amati Traditions so I have a flawless pair if Wilson Audio Duette 2's on sale on this site. 
Ugly vs Gogeous speakers
I have the Sonus Faber Homage Amati Tradition and I think they are great looking and sound awesome.  They replaced my Wilson Audio Duette 2's.  My wife did not like the monitor look so that is why I went with a full size speaker. 
Sonus Faber Homage Tradition - New 2017 Line
I have had the SF Homage Amati Tradition for about 3 weeks now.  I had Wilson Audio Duette 2's.  The SF's are extremely pleasing to my ear.  The soundstage is awesome even in the large room that I have.  I even compared the SF to the Wilson Alexia... 
Building a top quality smaller system-what next?
I have a pair of mint Wilson Audio Duette 2's listed for sale on this site for $10,400.  They would be absolutely perfect for a smaller house.  I had them running of a Raven Integrated Tube amp.  The sound was majestic.  I live in Az so the shippi... 
Do you have a pair of thiel 3.6 in the Phoenix area
Something to dream for.  My SF Traditions are awesome.  I heard the Lillium and they are amazing.  I was going to buy a used pair of Il Cremonese for $22k but they were the wrong color.  You should look at the Tekton line of speakers.  The DI's fo... 
Do you have a pair of thiel 3.6 in the Phoenix area
What is your price range?  I just recently purchased Sonus Faber Amati Tradition.  They were way out of my price range also but I said WTF...why not.  You only live once!!!   LOL 
Do you have a pair of thiel 3.6 in the Phoenix area
I don't have either but I do have a pair of mint Wilson Audio Duette 2's for sale in Gold Canyon. 
Need recommendation
I have a pair of mint Wilson Audio Duette 2's for sale on Audiogon that are super musical and work in any size room.  My two channel room was way larger than yours and the soundstage was great.  They are listed for $10.4K  retail $22.9K. 
Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses?
One final question....I still don't have the fuse but I have to ask before I do get it.  I am not a true audiophile....I just enjoy great music.  I have around $60k invested in my two channel system so I think it already sounds great.  What is it ... 
Upgrade path from Wilson WattPuppy 7s? - seeking advice
I have Wilson Audio Duette 2's that I am trying to sell on Audiogon.  I recently demo'd the Wilson Alexia versus Sonus Faber Amati Tradition.  I thought the SF were more musical than the Alexia's.  I also thought the WiIson's were a little bit mor... 
Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses?
That that would be good for me because I can't keep up with all of your emails.  I think earlier in the discussion someone mentioned all this discussion for a $25 fuse for my $ 9000 amp. Lol.   When I receive the new fuse I will let you know my op...
