PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!!
I’ve had a tube preamp pass DC to a power amp and the protection circuit in the amp would activate before doing any damage. But this still looks like a bogus thread. $30,000 speakers ?

Question about the tube in the Vincent PHO-700
If you remove the tube and the preamp still works then you will know that it is not part of the circuit. Why would the tube be controlled with the dimmer switch?  It seems that the tube is there just for looks! 
Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what?
Don’t waste anymore money until you replace those speakers. Horn type high efficient speakers are not for everyone including me! There are many other types to choose from! 
Underspent on speakers relative to overall system?
I don’t think there is a standard recipe putting a system together. If you enjoy it and it gets your toes tappin’ then it doesn’t really matter what the price is on each unit! BTW, the speakers that I use now I like better than others that I’ve ha...

I am going to install this four element directional for a friend. It will go in the attic. I’m sure it will be better than any of those indoor types!http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/30-2460 
Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening
Don’t let high efficient speakers lock you into your speaker choice. Efficiency does not mean better sound. Any speaker that I've preferred always seemed to be on the low to mid sensitivity type!
