Good Suggestions for Tube Amps under 6k
I have an LTA Ultralinear+ that I am parting with. It's not a great fit with the rest of my system, or the direction I am going, but it would have a lot of synergy with yours. PM me and I will give you a deal on it. With the Daedalus speakers you ... 
Sideways move?
No need for anyone to get too sensitive, this has been good advice all around, and a good learning experience for me. I started the day with deep doubts and finished with a return to audio nirvana. Doesn't get any better than that. Except it does,...

Tubes becoming hard to get?

Speakers for a Large Room (20’x37’)
I auditioned the Cornwall IV's and loved them. But I didn't think the imaging was quite as good as what I wanted, so I went with the Ardens, without auditioning them, on a lark. I think they would be perfect for your size room. Both are relativel...
