Starting from Basically Scratch. Help me power some Wilson Watt Puppys
Musical fidelity M6 500i You may want to look at the Musical Fidelity M6 500i on usaudiomart.com. It’s rated 500 watts into 4 ohms and is selling for $3000.   
room size question.
I agree with grisly by unplugging the subs first. It doesn’t matter whether you measure from the front or back but how it sounds to you. I would try using a good acoustic recording with a single voice. Experiment by moving the speakers forward and... 
room size question.
@bshaw  My room is also 12x12 but one size doesn’t fit all due the characteristics of the speaker so experimentation is key. In my situation, the front center of the speakers are 44” from the front wall and 36” from the side walls. So my speakers... 
Kt120 Vs kt90 Sound characteristics
If you wish for good bass, smooth highs and a rich midrange, try KT77s. I auditioned the Cronus Magnum 3 at home with the stock KT120 and found them a bit clinical also. So I ordered the amp with Gold Lion KT77s installed from Rogue. If you choose... 
Primaluna or not Primaluna
You might be interested in the Rogue Cronus Magnum 3. I purchased the Rogue after owning the Primaluna Dialogue Premium and found it more detailed and dynamic. It’s 100wpc and it has a switch that allows you to toggle between ultra linear and trio... 
Aurender
@fuzztone I’ve owned the Aurender N100 for 4 years and never had a problem with the conductor app.  
Looking for good recordings of female vocals I have not yet tried...

Zen mini mark III with lps or zen mark III
Johnny also sells Innuos and Aurender so you may be able to compare all three. He always has great advice and he’ll probably let you audition at home.   
Rogue pharaoh II or Cronus Magnum III ?
The top picture is the new Pharaoh 2. These are different sounding amps and the major differences include a new amplifier circuit designed around the Hypex N-core amplifier modules increases both power and performance. The preamplifier includes nu... 
Rogue pharaoh II or Cronus Magnum III ?
@avanti1960 Just curious. Were you describing the sound of the original Pharaoh or the newest version?  
Rogue pharaoh II or Cronus Magnum III ?
I strongly recommend getting a NOS Mullard 12AU7 for the center tube slot which is the main preamp tube. The stock JJ tubes are bright and not as musical as the Mullard. Best wishes   
Rogue pharaoh II or Cronus Magnum III ?
@matias1979  Did you buy it used or new?  
Rogue pharaoh II or Cronus Magnum III ?
I just sold my Magnum 3 for a Pharaoh 2 a few weeks ago. I had tuned the Magnum to suit my tastes using various tubes and it sounded wonderful. But I was curious to hear the Pharaoh after reading some posts here on the forum. Some of the members h... 
I'm confused - Different music...different speakers?
@smaarch1  Before purchasing the Cronus Magnum 3, I auditioned it at home with the stock K120 and didn’t like the overall sound especially with older recordings. When I returned it to the dealer, l told him I didn’t care for the sound. I tried KT... 
Primaluna?
Rogue also makes a good solid integrated tube amp plus it is made in Pa. I visited their warehouse and watched their staff assemble the amps including circuit boards. Their customer service is excellent and I even spoke to Mark the owner/ designer...
