Thinking I need a Sub...
I suppose NOW you want those points back...no way man...and everybody distorts when their excursion increases. On that we agree.

I am always dismayed by the clearly humorless, but that's my cross to bear...do you really think I was serious about my guitar amp? Your points have been deducted for condescending douchebaggery. Man...in any case, I don't own a 305, and seriously... 
Bias for Jolida 502 P Amplifier
Do Gold Lion KT88s sound better than KT120s in a 502? I think they LOOK better for sure, but I've been putting off buying a set.

Risking redundancy (or, more to the point...being redundant!), again, to attempt to simplify MY point...I get great sound without digital EQ in MY room with a single REL. Great, natural, non lumpy sound. It's been stated that others can't get good... 
Thinking I need a Sub...
I agree that when a room is overloaded with subwoofer bass energy resulting in crappy sound, the easiest solution to this issue is digital limiting. My point has always been that great sounding realistic and musical bass can be achieved with a sin... 
Thinking I need a Sub...
Digital bass management compression/limiting nannys are not necessarily an advantage, they're simply designed as a "catch all" remedy for components that are badly matched to a room's acoustic properties. Of course things need to be "used properly...

I'm not in the Bob camp, in spite of how badly he wants me there. I'm merely speaking about the actual sounds of things, and if you adjust a REL to appear at the point where the main speaker starts to lose its ability to produce much bass and the ... 
Thinking I need a Sub...
The "total distortion remaining the same" idea from claustrophobic Canadians in the context of REL sub use means nothing. Zero. Does anybody listen to good speakers and say, "wow, if only I could remove the bottom octaves of distorted bad things i... 
Primaluna-TungSol KT120s in triode mode
I have driven through a few towns where you stop for gas or roadside surgery and sure enough, the topic always comes around to KT120s. One farmer brought it up when I was negotiating a fair price for his daughter, saying, "huh?"...which is a respo... 
Primaluna ProLogue Five VS. Classe CA-150
I agree that the sound of amps is an important part if the whole "amp thing." 
Bias for Jolida 502 P Amplifier
The "break in" period of my Jolida was hard to quantify since it was so subtle and sounded great right out of the box. I noticed more from tube rolling, my most recent being the amazing Psvane 12AX7T-II input tubes...highly recommended. I look at ...

Primaluna-TungSol KT120s in triode mode
I've been keeping track of negative reviews of the KT120 tube, and it's now up to 4. Maybe 5. I'm not doing a good job at this, but so far my totals are: Positive KT120 opinions: 15,628. Negative: 4. Or maybe 5. 
Bias for Jolida 502 P Amplifier
Seriously great amp. I keep mine biased at 500mv just because it seems the amp was built around that point...with KT120s (which I've been using daily for almost 2 years and they refuse to burn out) you can supposedly bias higher, but it sounds fin...

Tube amps are more fun. There, I said it again.
