| Going Tubing I run my Triton R1's with a pair of 20 year old Cary Audio Six Pac mono blocks and a Prima Luna Dialogue Premium preamp. Sound is superb! The 92 db sensitivity and the powered 1600 w subs enclosed in the Tritons makes the Six Pacs 50 w output mor... | |
| Amplifier and Speaker A/B switcher I've been using a switch made by Beresford of England. It allows me to switch between my mono block tube amps and my SS amp to the same set of speakers. Works fine and even has resistance added to protect your tube amp if left on when not switched... | |

I need honest blunt opinions "I suggest staying away from the Cary amps because getting tubes for these babies requires big $$$, plus they run hot, plus 50W I feel is not sufficient for your purposes and speakers."

| Solid copper or stranded copper for speaker cables? What is your choice and why? Just go to the Morrow website and read the description of their approach to cable design. J.Chip | |
| You know when you are dealing with a BS company.... I have Morrow SP4 speaker cables. What sold me was the description of what goes into their cable design. It was straight forward, made very good sense to my engineering mind, and didn't try to impress with claims of secret magical marketing BS. Ev... | |
| Speakers that are good with tubes Give the Golden Ear Triton 1r a listen. They are 92 db sensitivity, relatively benign impedance curve, and each contain a 1600w amp to handle the bass which makes driving them with tubes very easy. I drive mine with a pair of 50w Cary monoblocks a... | |
