Speakers for Krell s300i
For what it's worth, I liked the 400xi with Maggie 1.6s. Similar to the experience thesoundhouse had with the 1.7s.I switched speakers to Martin Logans and did not like the combo at all. Thin and 2D compared to the Primare integrated I replaced th...

12at7 with 12ax7 tubes
Thanks Doak.So much for that experiment. 
12at7 with 12ax7 tubes
Just got the amp and tubes yesterday. I'm breaking in the power tubes, the 5751, and amp before I start rolling. I'll try to remember to post back in a few days. 
Loss of Highs

Jolida 502a and Klipsch Forte

12at7 with 12ax7 tubes
This is good to know.I have an amp coming that uses 12AX7s. I do have some better 12AT7s that I'll investigate dropping in. I didn't know that ATs and AXs were interchangeable. (I do have 5751s coming as well). 
12at7 with 12ax7 tubes
"The 12AT7 is interchangable with the 12AX7, but has slightly more than 30% less gain"Rodman - I've heard that about the 12AX7 vs. the 5751, but never the 12AT7. Are you sure you're on track with this?

Need help picking between 6550 and KT88 tubes
I have an amp coming this weekend that uses EL34, 6L6, KT66, KT88, etc. I read up over at the Asylum and there are a few folks raving about the 6N3C-e (or 6p3s-e, depending on the alphabet (Russian). The amp comes with 6L6s, so I ordered a pair of...
