s bank. These Larsens look amazing.  I wish I could audition them somewhere near me!   Some of these suggestions even have me considering switching my gear.  I love my Martin Logan Summit X speakers, but these new-fangled things have piqued my in... 
Which pair of speakers changed your Hifi life?
The first time I heard ADS L810s, they blew my mind in a stereo store in Bowling Green Ohio. I later picked up a used pair in Chicago and absolutely loved them for many years. Now my martin Logan Summit ex electrostatic speakers are my last and fa...

Shank I haven’t been able to see the new house yet, so I’m not sure of the dimensions or where they will be placing their system exactly. I was thinking of going with a nice integrated amplifier, maybe one with a phono section because my son-in-la...

VTHOKIE Thank you so much for that recommendation. I have checked out their website and many reviews and I really like what I see and hear. My daughter is an architect who spent time in Denmark studying and she might really like the design featur...

RLJ:  My first ever serious speakers were KLHs from 1971; paired with my Pioneer receiver and turntable, it was audio heaven for an 18-year-old!  Will definitely check out the newer models.  I went on to Advents after that before sticking with ADS...

Finally found my amp/integrated for Martin Logan Summit X electrostatics
You might check albertsportis who lists many items on audiogon.  I've dealt with him several times and have always been treated well.  He often has Summit Xs for sale, in fact, I got mine from him.  I listen to all kinds of music, and the Summit X... 
Tubes getting hard to come by?
I'd add Simaudio Moon to that list missioncoonery.  Nothing else has propelled my Martin Logan Summit X electrostatics to the rarified heights they have reached with the 700i integrated by Simaudio.  
Tubes getting hard to come by?
Why do you even bother posting jjss?     
After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same?
I sure did.  I went from a Spectron amp and Zesto preamp for my Martin Logan Summit X electrostatics to the Simaudio Moon 700i integrated.  The Simaudio unit is a match made in heaven for the quirky Summits.  I'll never look back,  . . . maybe.    
How much $$ do bells and whistles add to preamp?
I guess I wasn't completely clear in my initial posting.  I'm wondering how much add-ons add to a preamp's price.  For example, is a $6K preamp with a DAC and streaming really a $4K, $4.5K, 5K preamp.  I'm asking just in case I find something I li...
