Two small RELs or One Larger Sub
I use 2 RELs from an earlier era and they're amazing...a Q150e (10") and a Q108II (8")...bought them used for 200 bucks each few years ago. I also have a "pro-studio" monster sub (in my studio) that's flat to 19hz and I've dragged its 92lb high po... 
Jolida Fusion 3502S vs. Jolida Fusion 801
I just mentioned elsewhere that I used a Jolida "factory upgraded" 502P for years and it sounded great...a powerful bargain amp which seemingly has been improved with the 3502. Great MD support...call 'em! 
Picking a Tube integrated amp
The Jolida 3502 might be a great choice for less than 1500 bucks. I had a 502P for years that had tube slam for days...great amps.

That is utter nonsense and it’s likely you know that...man... 
Total cost of ownership - how to reduce it
I've found over 5 plus decades of tube guitar amps and hifi stuff that SS amps aren't more reliable than tubes, and in my experience somewhat less reliable...people abuse tube guitar amps from the 50s every day...and night...sometimes afternoons... 
New Tweak --- Its Fantastic
This thread has descended into a somewhat ridiculous and sort of gonzo weirdness, and further insures I will absolutely never support this stuff...playing the 94 year old blind mom card is simply bad taste and wreaks of desperation as did the "com... 
Looking for a warm sweet speaker
When I read "warm sweet speaker" I think about hearing Julie Andrews at my daughter's college commencement. I doubt she's for sale, but hey...who knows? 
Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs
REL subs also "take on the sound signature of any amp that they are crossed over with" by utilizing the amp's output with their recommended "High Level" input. REL should market some sort of universal "longbow" wireless gizmo that would work with ... 
New Tweak --- Its Fantastic
This is a forum thread designed to sell TC and enjoy the responses among those who've bought it. If you don't think you're likely to help TC make piles of audiobucks from this stuff, and aren't supporting the hyperbole festooned fanboy and sales f... 
Opinions needed on some Klipsch for 2 channel
The Heresy speakers from the 70s don't sound like the new ones as, with good ancillaries, Heresy IIIs have a flatter and utterly listenable accurate top end. I don't think they even sound like horns particularly, except for their efficiency which ... 
Klipsch vs Infinity
I'm enjoying Klipsch Heresy IIIs with subs...no "horn coloration" at all, and a truly full range high efficiency tone fest...Corners? Don't need no stinkin' corners... 
Customer Service Experience with REL
My REL subs (Q150e, Q108II) were purchased used but in great shape for around 200 bucks each...no issues at all, great sound. 
klipsh forte III purchase
The new Forte III does sound amazingly good, and from what I've seen the Heritage line does have all the "current tech" they need. Take one apart and look inside (I did with my Heresy IIIs, as well as with everything else I buy...curious, just cur... 
Total cost of ownership - how to reduce it
To sound better than many great sounding tube amps you need to spend a lot more for that SS amp, and the difference will cover your tube cost for decades. I found a slightly used Dennis Had "Firebottle" single ended amp that is hand made by a circ... 
Total cost of ownership - how to reduce it
Regarding the reliability of tube amps, I've dragged tube guitar amps all over for decades, played club gigs at 4 to 6 sets a night driving the bejeesus out of various tubes, with a laughingly low perhaps statistically irrelevant failure rate...se...
