Replacing Sonic Frontiers Line 3 SE


Have owned it since new for a couple years, been extremely happy with it. But it's time to try something different, notice I said different instead of better.

Line 3 SE has great transparency, soundstage width/depth, and extension. Looking for something of similar calibre but maybe even more dynamic w/o losing the musicality. Does something like that exist? Also need both XLR & RCA in/out for flexibility and convenience.

Budget is $5k used or under, rest of my system can be viewed under virtual system.

How about early 60s NOS, Telefunken E188CC 7308, Telefunken E88CC 6922, Amperex PQ white label 6922, or Amperex PQ white label 7308 tubes.

What was the siemens tubes you used?
Just my 2 cents try some NOS early 60 tubes as I described in my earlier post. You did not respond and say what the Siemens tubes were you used, but I bet they were not the early 60s Siemens CCa tubes.
A small investment considering the system you have. Besides the way the prices continue to rise for NOS tubes if you don't like the sound, wait 6 months an sell the tubes and get all your money back plus....
