What is the best solid state amplifier you have ever heard?
I don't think it's that hard compare the sound/influence of differing amps, when they are rotated through the same overall system. The caveat being, that all are fully capable of driving/controlling the speakers....and input impedances match with ... 
Teton monitors from Wavetouch Audio - A Must Hear
Sorry, I meant to type "nonsense" (whatever that is) instead of "magical" 
Teton monitors from Wavetouch Audio - A Must Hear
My ACTUAL issues with patent claims and other nonsense on the Wavetouch site have been conveniently and utterly ignored, I don't see any mention of patent(s) or "magic" on the Wavetouch websiteAt this point, you've stated your issues with Wavetouc... 
Teton monitors from Wavetouch Audio - A Must Hear
I still claim that a sensible website with less magical nonsense, rational promotion through the normal channels (shows, reviews form respected pros) would help the case here, but the persistent shilling by people claiming no connection with the h... 
Best tube amp for electrostatic speakers
Wolcott "The Presence"(& later 220M/P280) amplifiers were supposedly designed specifically to drive difficult loads like electrostats.Here is a Enjoy The Music review where The Presence are thrown at Sound Lab A-1's and their very difficult 40... 
SONIC FRONTIERS LINE 3...TUBES & CAPS upgrade
Getting an SF Line 3, having a non-authorized tech do major mods, then possibly finding out that you still don't like the sound is a pretty good recipe for ending up with a unit that no one else will buy from you without taking a major loss on you... 
PX-25 tube amp with Merlin VSM speakers?
It's a minor mod to remove the PX-25 attenuator from the signal path.But, your best bet is probably going with one of the higher-powered Art Audio SET amps like the Jota(20-30wpc, depending on output tube) or 16wpc Carissa. Even their PP amps like... 
PX-25 tube amp with Merlin VSM speakers?
12-22-14: DazzlingmdI might be better off looking at a 300B SET amp. I've owned the Art Audio PX-25, AA Jota, and Welborne Labs DRD 300B SET monoblocks at the same time. There is no real appreciable difference between the respective 6wpc and 8wpc ... 
Any other Sophia Amplifier Experiences???
Hmmmm, maybe Audio Revelation can exchange the amps for something that actually works. Not what deal you got, that many failures is a defective item. 
What's the greatest bargain in SET these days?
I love it! The new backstory really helps to let readers know where you are coming from, the constraints you are working under(room size & WAF), and where you are hoping to go.BTW, I also started out with some 2C's. A great buy for their time....

Cary 300SEI - tube rolling/modifications

Looking for Tube Pre-Amp Recommendations
It might be worth trying some Paul Speltz Zeros impedance matching autoformers before changing preamp, amp, or speakers. Naked versions are $550 and boxed are $1,200. You can find them used here occasionallyHere's some reviews:6 moons.com / by Sra...
