Totem Sttaf
I've used my Sttafs with tubes and a multiple different SS amps. I would not say they are a better match for Tubes, but they do sound really nice with tubes. All of the amps I have used, at least the ones that sound good with them are high power (... 
Yaqin integrated anybody heard them or own one
I had a 50W EL34 based integrated (I think the model was MC10L or something like that). For the money it was very nice. I didn't have it for long so I can't say anything about reliability. I sold it because it was a spare system that didn't get us...

sounds like it's time for you to punt on the Sttafs. They are one of my favorite speakers ever - I've never had any complaints, but tastes differ. It's possible the stiuation you have is contributing to it (amps, room, etc), but still, you tried. ... 
What's it worth?
you need to pay for the bluebook subscription. Also, buy an for sale ad. 
Totem Sttaf
break in may be an issue in this case with <100 hours on them, although Totem says 60-80 hours is the normal break in time. I recall the dealer telling me 100-200 hours. I would pull them further out into the room if you can. Also, try differen...

the key to Sttafs is set up. They must be out from the wall, and the distance between them is also important. In my experience the Sttaf's image is huge extending well outside the speakers and in some cases past the walls. They need to be at least... 
Does it bother you?
I notice some artists recordings are leaps better than others. Further some of them are just bad; although the music is good so I assume they are recording for ipod listening only.Whether the artists who consistently record outstanding fidelity an...

have you checked ALL of the fuses? There are fuses inside the amp.

Suggestions short 3' tall floorstander?
given your existing Totem config, why not go with Forests, and if they are too tall Hawks. You can move the Mite's to the rear. Another option is Mani-2's. I have a pair of Sttafs, and Mani-2's. Wouldn't recommend the sttafs for HT for the same re... 
Can old equip work with today's technology
you should reall look at your post (ie the identical one to this) you made yesterday. There are several replies there. 
Can old equip work with today's technology
I do it - works great. My gear is probably older than yours. Most TV's have RCA audio outs. Just connect them to your pre ins. To do Pandora you need a SMART TV or a streaming device like a ROKU - and they too have audio outputs normally. 
Conrad PV-12 Preamp Sub Woofer output
the easiest solution is a "Y adapter" to split the outputs. Otherwise you could have a tech install another set of outputs for a sub, but depending on how they do it the yield will be the same as the adapter.I take it your sub doesn't have a cross...

In Northern Virginia - which you would probably want to ship it to try Music Technology. Bill Thalman use to work at Conrad Johnson and knows his stuff.
