What are the best speakers you have ever owned and why?
I've been lucky to own a number of modest but very good speakers.   My favorite  speaker that I formally owned was the PSB Platinum M2...    such a great speaker for the money.  I will buy another pair some day,  one of the few speakers I regret s... 
Can Anyone Identify this Tube Preamp?
Do you have it hooked up? 
Krell XD gear in the House Initial Impressions
Are you in a trial period as a Krell dealer?   You are not listed as an authorized Krell dealer.  
Buy 12ax7 tube
The New Sensor Svetlana 12ax7 is a very good sounding tube.  I have yet to try a Gold Lion 12ax7  in my amp's input but I have tried a bunch including some nos and the Svetlana is one of the better sounding current production.  JJ ecc83 were dark ... 
KEF LS50 or Wharfedale Reva 2 -- which would you buy?
I don't know where there is even a Wharfdale dealer in New England but I have heard that their new lines are pretty good.  But I have heard the LS 50 and it is one of the best values out there.  Not everyone loves them but I have owned a number of... 
Which area of components to spend the most $ on? Boy I was wrong all my life!
This was a great thread, I had replied earlier but it never posted.....  I believe the source and preamp are for most people the most important items in the chain.  Speakers are obviously important ,  but I have had many speakers that sounded mark...

Any Tekton users in UK???
So one tweeter surrounded by seemingly the same size drivers for midrange?  Am I missing something here?

I am old enough to remenber the fact that Krell has not been Krell since Dan left , or was forced out ...  The KSA were what made Krell famous back then..... Mark Levinson was screwed so badly he lost his naming rights... his own name, can never u...

I saw the XD at Woodbridge... nice stuff 
Highest BUILD quality tube amps?
Another vote for Quicksilver...   super reliable, built like a tank.    Point to point , never any issues with mine.  I've had a few tubes crap out but the fuse did it's job and there was no collateral damage.   Unlike I will ever sell them , they... 
BUY Bryston!!!!!
Just goes to show that if you build a great product there's little to lose in offering an incredible warranty.   This kind of post is really better than any ad spot you could run, it fosters loyalty of existing customers and draws in potential new... 
Efficient bookshelf speakers for my new (and amazing!) Still Audio EL84 integrated
I wish Mr Still well, that amp is REALLY nice.   It's great to see that people with a passion for faithful music reproduction are putting out beautiful , instrument grade components that are within reach of regular working class people.   Sure $29... 
What preamp creates the largest soundstage?
