Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K)
They sound incredible. Currently in my living room with a 25 year old Mirror Image Audio 200 watt class A amp. I need to try some tubes and mess with placement but right out of the box they are awesome.

@taww,ha ha! I am sitting in that room again right now. Had to come back. So I’m a tube guy for the most part but they are using a Coda S20 SS class A amp, 200 watts. I’m floored by these.Lance

I agree with @grannyring I have the Tekton DI SE and love them. With you’re room size the Encore would be perfect. 
Which EL34 is your favorite and why?
I also like the Amerex/Holland brown-base EL34 if you can find them. I also have a quad of British NOS Genelex KT77. 
Where is my digital problem: taste, vinyl v. digital, DAC, realities, etc?
@jbhiller,On the bright side you have the same TT and cart that I have and it is a very very good analog combo. A well recorded piece of vinyl is just heaven. You could spend a great deal of money to get your digital end there but maybe not. I agr...

The new magnificent Linear Tube Audio MicroZOTL Preamplifier
@jriggy Maybe he means “aliveness” like the band is playing in the room. It certainly is for me right now. It’s breathing new life into my amp.

Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions
@olesno and @waltersalas The Graphene Extreme speaker cables are the absolute best cables in that price range, giant killers and I have tried many. The Matrix now resides in my entire system. No regrets. 
Another New Member Looking for Advice (preamp and speaker setup)
Go to the show! There are plenty of audio shows around the country. Rocky Mountain is right around the corner. I’m looking forward to CAF next month. Spend the whole weekend listening to different amps.
