High Pwr Tube Integrated for Inefficient Speakers?
I auditioned the Musical Fidelity A5.5 . All I can say is that it's one of the best amplifiers out there at any price and an almost unbeatable value. I don't care about "musicality" or such nonsense, I don't have a "Golden Ear" but when you hear s... 
Please help me find an amp
Or maybe a pass XA30.5?

I'm using an open-baffle custom made speaker,full-range high-efficiency, with Visaton and Supravox components. My usual volume level is loud enough to listen to music and converse with someone 6 feet away without shouting... Bass and sound quality...

Stehno, that was exactly what I was getting at "decaying prematurely", you put it best. I didn't do a good job of explaining, but you knew exactly what I was talking about. I have been visiting smcaudio a lot recently and feel that their upgrade p...

What about noise. Are the silences black?

I have until March to purchase these two parts of the system. They will most likely be the heaviest parts so it would be wise to take them with me, as opposed to having them shipped.I was under the impression that the DNAs were lean, is this correct?
